not quite as catchy as the previous Andrew Landley song - but I full agree with the sentiment

Sad to say, if anything ever did, that song kills his hopes of K for good.

OK, John D, whoever you are. I 'fess up. Well researched! Glad you liked it.  I wasn't ever going to get a knighthood anyway.

The point is that the message in this song needs to spread. And fast! So, all of you who agree, get tweeting, FBing, emailing etc etc. and not just doc2doc. We need the general public on side. In their millions. 

Great if you want to point them at the "more formal" stuff too  (as in, "here comes the science bit."..) but above all...

..just use the song to get the word out. Time is short.
