A Free Lunch [Some words from Liar's Kingdom]

A slice of history, almost 40 years ago. I was in uniform then, Air Force blue, but admired those at Faslane and Greenham. Futile in the end, but what days of innocence and belief.

Jack.
I do have one quibble. Ugly Puggly's last two bits of dialogue are a bit didactic. Whilst the sentiment behind the words is true, it comes over as a little authorial, even though the words come out of UP's mouth. This:

A splendid depiction of ourselves as a parasitic blight on Gaia itself. Skilfully done and with possibly the first use of 'Agrestal' I've ever seen in a poem.

is that our armed forces are not up to contributing to a coalition force at the same level as that which went to Iraq. Or indeed to Afghanistan. This is fine. Limiting defence spending to sufficient to defend the realm is sensible. Just don't...

Really splendid writing, Ed.

Very fine. Whimsical, I agree.

Always best to keep the fantastic rooted in the everyday. You do that well here.
Well done.
