Forget about radioactive fallout... look here, the Queen is visiting Ireland


Two months on
and no end in sight, yes this is the current state of affairs when it comes to the painful issue of the ongoing nuclear radiation spills in Japan. Yet very little facts of the true extent of this global catastrophe trickles down to the forefront of the mass media and the collective consciousness at large.

Surprisingly the public who pay and will continue to pay the price with hard earned cash and the consequence to their health, seems quite content feeding on a diet of ready dished out trivia such as which Royal is wearing what hat? Who was not invited and who farts to the left... Some sense of priorities we have?!

In the same token; While too many Irish people are evacuated from their own streets to make way for a contentious Royal visit and protect the Queen, not enough Japanese people are evacuated from their own homes to protect them from the uncontrolled crisis of nuclear radiation that will plague their environment and ours for many millennia to come...

Yet the important announcement by TEPCO admitting that figures confirmed a nuclear meltdown took place at Fukushima as early as 16 hours after the earthquake on the 11 of March, paled in comparison to the world wide coverage and discussion on how elegant the Queen looked in white and which Irish public servant dared to bow before her. Some sense of priorities we have?!

When it comes to the British Monarchy Vs Nuclear Radiation competing for the headlines - British Monarchy seems to be wining hands down every time! Why is that? Is it really our warped sense of priorities? Or is there an organised, deliberate and well executed diversion of public attention a way from an issue as important as self preservation?
