Well. Does anyone remember if was actually Labour who won the election? Jeremy Hunt seems extremely pleased with Starmer and Streeting and that cannot be a good thing.

This is a very good leading article about class and inequality. I would just add that we need not be bound by our backgrounds. My parents were upper-middle class (quite posh). But I want a far more equal society, where the rich have less and the poor have more. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's the anniversary of Thomas Becket's assassination. So here's a bit of eel history to go with your Becket! After his death, the church at Wymondham Abbey was rededicated to include Becket's name. And it was sustained by an annual rent of 2,000 eels from the village of Hilgay. 🗃️🧪

I first test-rode the Bo more than a year ago, and then twice again in the last month. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the e-scooter of the future.

It would be great if absolutely everybody can help this story go viral, and get higher-level media attention, to contribute to the social and legal utter annihilation of every cop, judge, and politician involved.
