The BBC is reporting that Nick Pope has been named Minister for the new Alien Affairs ministry. The ministry will be an umbrella organization which will have control over all defense, security and law enforcement agencies within the U.K. It appears he’s been named because of the yeoman work he’s done in warning the British government of the dangers of just this sort of thing.
Here’s an interview he gave awhile back. It doesn’t appear we have an American equivalent. Yet.
Leave it to the Brits to worry about cabinet appointments while everything’s going to hell.
Update: It appears the tripods are active in the U.K. as well as this reader reported right before he was cut down by the Martians. Fortunately, in a heroic example of British ‘stiff upper lipism’, he actually kept blogging while he was being cut down by the Martians!
Ray, you are a real champion of freedom.
