North Korea Crisis: Save the world - with information
Oh no, they say, NOT another petition.
Fair enough guys - BUT the following may well involve us all...............
How to avoid WW3
The best antidote to dangerous propaganda and mass-induced misinformation is freedom of thought, conscience and opinion. Crush such subconscious, authoritarian, oppression and the doorway to liberty may start to open. The people themselves must come to feel freedom if change is ever to take place.

Health Secretary Hunt faces angry protesters at Southport Hospital
Mr Hunt arrived later than anticipated at 12.24 pm. He was greeted with loud howls of contempt and angry jeers from a vocal crowd of protesters.
Mr Hunt had stated that the Trust was the most improved in England between January and March for treating patients efficiently. Labour had encouraged as many of its supporters as possible to meet in protest against the Secretary of State for Health who was, they claimed, 'wreaking destruction' on the NHS.

Red Arrows (filmed from Southport) flying over Blackpool
It's a long way over the Ribble Estuary to expect any useable photographic results of the Blackpool Air Show. Nevertheless, I shot some footage of the Red Arrows doing their thing, along with a handful of dramatic photos.
Naturally, at this mega - range quality is not great but at least it's a record of the event...
To the naked eye the planes looked like tiny dots in the distance but the superzoom found them... 
Over the River Ribble at Marshside...
