Are we really apocalypse-ready?
Science fiction has prepared us for what could happen in some scenarios and has
suggested how governments could cope. But what protocols have really been put
in place in the event of a major catastrophe? With all the crazy cuts that are
being made to our public services to save funds; is this suggesting that all
the money is going towards something bigger? Is there a major shelter somewhere
underneath the London Underground or a fleet of spaceships being developed in
the Brecon Beacons? The Grenfell Tower disaster illustrated that most of the
support during the aftermath came from the local community and that there was
very little assistance from the authorities. But if we’re constantly at war
with our government and community then how likely are they to assist in these
situations? Have they already taken our cut and booked themselves a ticket on
the next train to salvation? We will never know until it’s too late.
