The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

I asked ChatGPT what sort of man Sir John Betjeman was. It said he was "a soft-hearted man in a hardening world, a romantic with a moral spine, and a defender of beauty for people who didn't know how to defend it themselves."

Homage to #JohnBetjeman to mark the date of his death.

It's not their fault they do not know 
The birdsong from the radio, 
It's not their fault they often go 
To Maidenhead
And talk of sport and makes of cars
In various bogus-Tudor bars 
And daren't look up and see the stars
But belch instead…

Sir John Betjeman

I see the nation has once again mistaken pale sunshine for permission to wear shorts in public.

What martydoms this place has seen, what deeds much better undone.
Yet still the greatest crime has been the martyrdom of London.
For here where once were pleasant fields and no one in a hurry
Behold the harvest Mammon yields of speed and greed and worry…

[Mike Gardner @mikegardner_wb]

“Disastrous for our politics with no economic benefit”.

Michael Gove schools a pro-EU questioner and audience on #bbcqt as to why Labour’s pre-election lies about respecting Brexit and their actions since, threaten to undermine, rather than help our economy.

"Have you ever wondered why opinions which the majority of people quite naturally hold are denounced as 'controversial', 'extremist', 'explosive', 'disgraceful', and overwhelmed with a violence and venom quite unknown to debate on mere political issues?"
