Me, I love to use metaphors in my writing, if you've read THE MACHINE trilogy, each separate book is a huge separate metaphor for something else and you may have guessed them. Sometimes people get it, sometimes they don’t, but it’s a great way of getting a point across without it being in your face. So I thought I’d try this one, its a little crude perhaps, but think it does the job. Let me know what you think… 

Imagine you’re having a late dinner with your lover, alfresco in a beautiful restaurant by a river, the night is still warm from the last rays of the sun, you can hear the gentle chatter of the people around you, and the two of you smile to one another, knowing the adventures that lie ahead later in the evening. Suddenly, a young guy you've never met before comes wandering past, you nod politely and he grins back. Then he picks up your cup of coffee and fart in it. Yep, he puts it under his arse, farts loudly, and hands it back with a smile. 

So what do you do? Do you get angry and upset? Start shouting and protesting loudly? Ask him what the Hell he is doing?

Yeah, well now imagine you live in a country where your government uses your taxes to fight wars with people you’ve never met, uses economic policy to oppress the poor, strips away your public services, censors all information including the internet, spends billions researching dangerous weapons, uses its political power to advance the interests of companies it has shares in, maintains and increases the gap between rich and poor and then allows GMOs you didn't want into your food chain as it presides over the industrial destruction of the environment. Me, I think never mind the guy who farts in the coffee, what about the government who shits on the plate…
