Foulness is an island on the east coast of Essex in England, which is separated from the mainland by narrow creeks. In the 2001 census, the usually resident population was 212, living in the settlements of Churchend and Courtsend, at the north end of the island. The population reduced to 151 at the 2011 Census. The island has a general store and post office. The George and Dragon pub in Churchend closed in 2007, while the church closed in May 2010.
Foulness Island is predominantly farmland and is protected from the sea by a sea wall. The island's unusual name is derived from the Old English for wild birds and promontory, and it is an internationally important site for migrating and breeding birds, including avocets. During the North Sea flood of 1953, almost the entire island was flooded, and two people died.
Prior to 1922, when the military road was built, the only access was across the Maplin Sands via the Broomway, a tidal path said to predate the Romans, or by boat. Although public rights of way exist, the island is run by QinetiQ on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, and access to the island is only permitted with a pass, obtainable from Shoeburyness. The island's visitor centre is opened to the public on the first Sunday in summer months, but permission must be sought to visit. Until 2007, members of the public could visit the island's pub by telephoning ahead; if they had not done so, access would be denied.
Welcoming Party / This Is System This is system for your life we exist We'll take your mind and violently twist into A shape so desperate you'll make us your life And like your mother we will hold you so tight And we'll grow off our pain constant aggression. We're sedatives for your alteration We'll drag you down for the rest of your life And then the system succeeds The day you have died THIS IS SYSTEM We welcome you child and we open our arms of greetings We'll treat you just right and we'll change you inside and you'll see That it's so necessary for you to accept Or we'll strap you down 'til we gain your respect You'll see it our way and you'll never question what we say See me I am crying through eyes of pain! Cold hearted system I cannot escape! Much more comfortable now, much more relaxed, just slightly sedated And when the lights go out, you will recall the pain that you've faded And in the blackened pitch you hear the other guests screaming And you can feel the horror of their hated dreams We'll strap you down tight Shocking your mind for screaming You poor child with pain in your eyes We never hear you cry We'd like to think that you are someone's mistake And so we lock you away There's got to be some kind of end A way out from under this horror Something out there beyond the pain That welcomes with comfort We'll let you go this time and it's your mistake You will miss our hate and desire our pain And you will be back Because they will not understand you You feared man with the hate in your eyes Looks like you don't mind dying We'd like to think that you're a social mistake
