Lawyer by day, singer by night. Sometimes the other way around. I like planes, weather, buildings, food, wine, Japan, & polyphony. Life is a song - sing it.

Exactly this.
May I propose this a rule of discourse: the making of solemn parallels between minor, annoying measures, health or otherwise, by well-meaning democratic governments AND the liquidation of the entire Jewish people in Europe by the Nazis aka the Holocaust displays crass insensitivity, bad taste, preposterous self-pity and mountainous, moronic ignorance. In a time when real history is constantly being distorted and misused, it cheapens it and justifies others to do so. Please stop doing it

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out Because I was not a communist Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me Pertinent words re Starmer’s smoking ban

Brilliant.
Bad week after I was fired from my job as Head of Marketing at a top London opera company. BUT ... delighted to have been appointed Head of Marketing at the CofE!! Here's my new Guide to Holy Week for Beginners. So important never to patronise people ... 😉

Liz Truss scorching her reputation all over again in the Air Fryer of history. She leaps from stupid to fascist with the jolly curiosity of a Wodehouse character. At this rate she may well become the first British Prime Minister to be flash grenaded in an FBI siege.

And now we cross live to the ante-kitchen of Patrick Allies, where he has stepped forward to begin the traditional Christmas Eve procession of the lebkuchen to the living room.
