It is the role of royal journalists like Nicholas Witchell to report on behalf of the royals, rather than on the royals. This is called capture.

If you were more ambitious, you'd be drunk by now.

@ScottMode @RichardCheese and juice

Maybe an ancient insight into madness:
"Well-being I won
and wisdom too.
I grew and took joy in my growth:
From a word to a word
I was led to a word,
From a deed to another deed."

A more useful alarm would be now. It's the weekend.

@CapnChapman He could award the Cup, like Morgan Freeman in Invictus.

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

@CapnChapman Eno because of Dune, rather than Blessed of Flash Gordon. I'm just disappointed Brian Fans didn't get any Brian Glover.

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

And maybe @PlymouthChaz might be a sympathetic ear.

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

Found out about this today. To victims of the slave trade. A pitiful memorial I think. And like having a cattle car for a Holocaust memorial. CC: @samblackledge or anyone who'll listen.

I don't know where to begin with this. I should be dispassionate. I don't like taking offence on other people's behalf.

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

I would CC @LukePollard just to register this.

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

And finally the pity - the stone is bare. I will be buying flowers to put there.

Meanwhile we have Antony Gormley OBE's LOOK II 12ft iron man on the sea front. That would have been a 5 or 6 figure sum just to the artist. Where is the commitment here?

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

You have the symbology of the slave boat, and the council points out this is a local image from abolitionists. It would be like having a shower head or cattle truck for a Holocaust memorial. This seems to objectify victims.

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

It's made of Limestone, maybe the Plymouth variety. Stock material of our military installations. Maybe this is Malcolm X's "We didn't land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us."

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

Firstly it's tiny. Appropriate to the location, but that location is off the path where people won't notice it. Compare it to the heroic iconography of Drake et al.

@RichardCheese 8.30am? That's G&T o'clock.

@serenderen I come from a time when childhood depression 'didn't exist'. I would say that any stability I have comes from trying to address all problems, not just mental health problems. Am always around if you need to talk about that.

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

This is some thread for the comments. It's taken a good 30 years and a lot of help to get on top of my problems.

[Plymouth Jedi @PlymJedi]

@serenderen I find systemic failures reassuring that we don't yet live in a mechanised dystopia, but yes, it isn't you, it's the 'help' that's out there. I'm lucky that things got so bad that they threw everything at it.
