Having recently finished watching the series "Glitch" on Netflix I was struck by the question that the second episode of the series posed whilst reading the news today: "Am I in Hell?" It is a question we can justifiably pose ourselves on a regular basis. We read in the news of Putin authorising the development of "Satan", an intercontinental ballistic killer, and see the pictures of dead children in Syria, alongside adverts of holidays in idyllic locations. The election in the USA: one of the most powerful nations in the world soon go to the polls to choose between the pathologically corrupt and the clinically insane. The before and after pictures of Pete Burns surely pose their own ironic question was he "Dead or Alive" when he destroyed his beautiful face with surgery? Itself a nod to the bizarre culture that is the West; its all about image! Nations that spend billions on pointless projects (such as getting to Mars), yet rely on their citizens to raise money for air ambulances and cancer research. People with an almost rabid desire to get to Britain living in squalid conditions, in danger of exploitation only a stones throw from others privileged to have a roof over their house, plenty of food on the table, and access to luxuries most of the worlds population would dream of. Read the news and you may really begin to believe that you are in Hell!
