A lot of us make reference to Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings. But let us imagine the hobbits set off to defend the Shire after Saruman had turned it into an industrialised sh*thole full of alien invaders. That is the task that we face. We must defend not the Shire that is, but the memory of the Shire that once was, that it may be so again. Hobbiton by JRR Tolkien
