So little time

#OTD 5 May 1982 the Serpell Committee was appointed by Thatcher’s govt to review Britain’s railway future. It recommended mainly massive & startling cuts: it ignorantly focused on commerce alone. But the shock helped kickstart change & rail innovated: by 2002 passengers doubled.

Reflecting on the thread by @christinamobley on her family and the Holocaust, brought me back to this. Well-known as one of the most famous moments in TV history, but give it three minutes of your life.

'Of course Parliament should be full of people of every sort of belief... the problem is when the religious try to impose their particular beliefs on the population.' Hear hear @pollytoynbee👏, who stood up for the compassionate right to die on #PoliticsLive today.

Luminous performance from @dennis_rollins #funkyfunk at @GuildfordJazz this evening. What a tonic!

When Johnson was asked in the Commons if there was a Downing Street party on this date, he said:

“No. But I’m sure whatever happened the guidance & the rules were followed at all times.”

A stone cold, bare-faced liar.

RT if you want him gone.

Are you concerned by the incredibly high number of COVID-19 cases in the UK, the rising numbers of hospitalisations and deaths?

If so, please RT this. The government need to start taking responsibility 🚨

@AdamRutherford My Electron is still around somewhere. My introduction to assembler and Lisp. Would have loved a BBC B.

@SW_Help any idea why the 06:20 to Waterloo didn't stop at Farncombe? Very frustrating, very annoying. Adding to the mix the online information shows it was on time. How do we claim delay repay in these circumstances?

As Donald Trump puts vice president Mike Pence in charge of the US’s coronavirus response, experts say it’s vitally important that this tweet doesn’t resurface:

Those of us lucky enough to be at @WattsGallery this evening had a real treat. @EnricoTomasso Quartet with 20s, 30s, 40s jazz. Top performances, excellent acoustics, lovely ambience.

Our broken law forced Sir Patrick Stewart’s friend into a lonely death.

How many more people have to die in such a heartbreaking way before our politicians pay attention?

This can't go on.

Thank you for speaking out @sirpatstew

Couldn't have done better than choose @GeorgiaMancio from all the @LondonJazzFest events tonight from @JBGBEvents. Brilliant inclusion of harp. Excellent balance of material.

This year @HumanistsInt had a major victory with the repeal of blasphemy laws in Greece - one of the most actively used such laws in Europe.

But weeks later, the Greek govt wants to re-instate blasphemy as a crime - buckling to religious pressure.😡https://t.co/z3zHnQDCkd

Appeal to EP: You should be open to a long extension, if the UK wishes to rethink its strategy. 6 million people signed the petition, 1 million marched. They may not feel sufficiently represented by UK Parliament but they must feel represented by you. Because they are Europeans.

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

Deplorable discrimination: University of Essex has Muslim & Christian Societies, yet 200 students disgustingly voted against ratifying a Jewish Society. What nastiness is going on in their little minds? https://t.co/7yfe4SSSRi
