'Feelgood' about a Nuclear Winter

First printed in the Bolton News.

I COMPLETELY agree with “Name and address supplied” in The Bolton News regarding “What is there to feel good about?” (May 27).

Who on earth do the directors of Bolton Little Theatre think they are?

For 78 years they have been allowing talented volunteers to waste their time putting on “performances” for the people of Bolton when they should have all been at home documenting their varied collection of hemp like the rest of us.

I find it utterly disgusting that anyone would want to engage with others in an evening of laughter and entertainment.

It makes me especially angry when people would willingly watch a play that pokes fun at the fine upstanding citizens we have elected as our MPs. These people deserve our support, not ridicule.

So, I urge you, people of Bolton, don’t be tempted by an evening of humour, farce and satire.

Instead, close the curtains, take out the hemp and join me as we slowly wait for the nuclear winter that North Korea is intent on inflicting upon us — and bring a sweater . . . it may get chilly.

Love and hugs.
