Out in a pub in Weybridge this evening. Nothing sets things up for a raucous night out like playing ‘Never Ever’ by All Saints.

Apparently Meta has spent $78bn on the metaverse, and this is what it looks like. For that he could have built HS2, and still have enough left over for it to reach Crewe.

FIFA’s process to decide the hosts of the 2030 & 2034 World Cups has been a total choreographed farce. It’s one thing to have one bid for each vote, but to do it by “acclamation” on a Zoom call is something else. No opportunity for anyone to express concerns.

You can go back through the archives and find decades of monarchical silence after unrest 2011, Poll Tax Riots, Miners’ Strike, Battle of Cable Street - all saw the King/Queen stay schtum Though Edward VIII’s thoughts on the Battle of Cable Street would have been…interesting to say the least
