At the time, well, none of us really knew what was going on. This, after all is not all that unusual. We usually find that if someone does claim to know what is actually going on, their claim – eventually – all revolves around either government and big business conspiracies, or giant invisible space lizards, and sometimes both.
The fact is that no-one knows what is going on, especially politicians. After all, politicians are a breed of people who can’t get a proper job and would have trouble finding their own arseholes with both hands, a map… and a sat-nav. So, to expect them to have any idea what is going on is a touch optimistic, to say the least. Obviously, the giant invisible space lizards would realise this as soon as they made contact.
Then there are all the nutters – religious and otherwise – who claim to have a direct line to god, the gods and/or the giant invisible space lizards. The conclusion to which is if the gods have chosen these people to represent them, then their claims to omnipotence are dodgy at best and for being all-wise and all-knowing… well. As for the giant space lizards, if they have really crossed light years, space and galaxies, then surely they should have more sense than to latch onto the first certifiable idiot they come across as spokesbeing for their case.
Consequently, the only philosophically sound response to any inquiry into what is actually going on is, and can only ever be: ‘Fuck knows.’
