We&#8217;re on a bit of a deadline, before the news moves on, which it will soon. (Plus we are seeing that it seems to be about now &#8211; 3 months on &#8211; that the impact is really hitting people, now that the shock is fading, the emotional blowback kicks in.)&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Do what you can to help spread the word, eh? Our dear government, and even Ken Livingstone with his much-publicised fund for the victims, have so far managed to do effectively tit all (there&#8217;s a surprise). We can slag off the policies that have arisen in the aftermath as much as we like, but others have far more to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, help out with expanding the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wikablog.com\/\">Wikablog<\/a>, as <a href=\"http:\/\/devilskitchen.blogspot.com\/2005\/10\/wikablog.html\">helpfully explained by our own dear Devil&#8217;s Kitchen<\/a>. The bigger it gets, the better.<\/p>\n<p>And, considering I&#8217;m getting back on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Remembrance_Day\">November 11th<\/a>, why not <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poppy.org.uk\/Ways_to_donate\/Your_Donation_Choices.html\">ponder donating<\/a> to help ex-Service and Service men and women and their dependants? They have, let&#8217;s face it, got a bastard of a job. Again, we can slag off the policies and the politicians who make them, but these guys bear the brunt of those decisions. They deserve our support.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishlegion.org.uk\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/groups.msn.com\/_Secure\/0QwD8AtcTm5Ml41NSz2UNhTRqPLKsQxoZ58eV4yVcPiTjgLP*k68DbMMzPn5lPISL3Acm55CXbzzop3OqigU05x73aw6V9sXnIFv*vwTRU9E\/CPWEB2.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Right.
