So I’ve been sat ploinked (YES IT’S A WORD) on a sofa today, browsing through obscuratum appleum on the laptop, and to make things interesting I’ve had Sky News on the television.

Not watched it with the sound on before. Imagine then, my terror, when I heard:

Coming up! How the recession is forcing us back to the land

Terrifying pictures of a peasant digging in an allotment! Now, the recession’s bad… and the debt we’re building up to ‘buy’ our way out of it will act as the ultimate brake on future growth for a generation.. but forced back into farming the land just to survive?

Is Sky News always this stupid?
