@CultrHack @JonathanFoyle @BorisJohnson I thought I was for saving arts courses. But now you mention that Boris and Carrie came via that route, I feel conflicted.
This worries me. The number of EU citizens refused entry to UK soars. You can say: this had to happen given the end of freedom of movement. But still: it creates a new reality and atmosphere in which it will be increasingly difficult to stay connected.
@tommyrpearson Curious, though, that he was believed over Brexit being a good idea and then appointed to a senior position at the heart of government. Now we can see the light and reject his judgement. And - as has happened frequently with his women - Boris says it’s time to ‘move on’.
@nickreeves9876 Tom Harwood only wants to free those countries from Naziism who will give us free votes in Eurovision. Thank God it it was Attlee and Churchill not Harwood in charge. Adds a new shallowness to an intellectual vacuum.
Really weird. Watching a 1976 drama from BBC on dvd, Clayhanger. Turns out it was adapted and produced by the brother in law of a friend of mine. Plus, just noticed, a schoolboy c. wearing a sailor hat c. 1890 has ‘ HMS Windrush’ on the headband.
@JohnJCrace Just as Ratner destroyed his jewellery brand by saying it was ‘crap’, GB has showed Europe that it is xenophobic and nostalgic for its imperial past. After a fantastic advertisement to the world of a tolerant, diverse and vibrant open society in the 2012 Olympics, we trashed it.
@alanferrier@MerlinTomkins Wouldn’t other badges describe him better?
Eg
father of 6+children by 4+women,
major wallpaper customer
fired twice for lying,
appreciates nurses as long as money isn’t involved
............
Quite a grand headline, but I really think the new book by @_Beatrice is an important document of where architecture (etc) is and where it's going. It was a pleasure to speak with her for @BBC_Culture https://t.co/YvOmnh2xF5
Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what's spent on R&D. Today, I confronted a CEO about the industry's lies, with visuals ⤵️
@DoddsJane I’m sorry,basically Boris is working his way through our society, shafting each in turn. First Carrie, then John Lewis, fishermen, BBC, justice system, nurses, museums, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Farmers, the City. Just wait, please, until it’s your turn.
