@oakroyd Feel fortunate you don’t have to live with me.

@oakroyd @ricmontg The logic of the marketing guys at the time was that the fags didn’t ruin your singing voice. I’m guessing that by the 60s the fibs of the baccy industry had been called out and the brand association with the great tenor seemed a bit ridiculous.

@davies_will Been done: “Ridley Walker” by Russell Hoban. Chillingly prescient.

@GreenManOfKent @jdpoc If only the Remoaners would ‘Get behind Brexit’ and ‘Back Britain’ then It would cease to rain and Willesborough would be elevated by 200 feet.

@GreenManOfKent @MarieAnnUK Same with Trump in the US. He makes Reagan and the Bushes in hindsight seem like FD Roosevelt. But at the time we knew them to be sociopathic robber barrons.

@curious_kent The Granville at Street End features in ‘Moonraker’. Could it be there?

[Graham Symon @GrahamSymon1]

@jameskennell Also, it demonstrates why the conservation of the environment shouldn’t need to rely on markets.

@HannahPerkin Sigh! Austerity depresses aggregate demand. The fiscal stimulus from the furlough scheme means debt (at historically low rates) in the short term but is more than paid for in the long run. Plus you don’t have the social costs of unemployment.
