Hancock always struck me as a naïf trying to run with the wolves. He wanted to be as corrupt as his peers but he was always going to be eaten by them.

So I submitted some evidence for a parliamentary committee today.
That will be interesting.
It is a first.
The call for evidence was relating to the #EnergyPriceGuarantee
I will try to explain why it matters, because it tells us very much about what kind of society the UK is and how politics has handled the #EnergyCrisis #ClimateCrisis
Its all related obviously.
Please bear with me.

a terminal preposition is something up with which I will not put.

Covid is on the up at the moment. Take care everyone.

I wondered why no one turned up to that meeting.

Hello Matt.
Thanks for keeping the fascination with Maths alive. During school I had so much fun with mathematical puzzles, events and competitions. But after years of hard engineering classes at university I really miss the whole doing hard stuff just because it's interesting spirit I assosiate with Maths. Your content always communicates that very spirit so excelently.

Exactly. For too long the devil has had all the best tunes.
@OReillyMedia what is it with the oreil’ly website and all the resources promised in my newly purchased book? I feel like I’ve been sold a pup as all the promised support has gone. I was browsing many books on the same subject and chose yours (Learning SQL 3rd edition) in part because of the support. Having an online sql sever to play with on my iPad was a big part of my decision. Pulling that rug out was a mean trick. I will walk past the O’Reilly section next time.

Going to bed before midnight with a plan to get up early and do some work which is a plan which has worked precisely zero times in the past.
@SeanJones well, it half works.
@SexyCyborg mind blowing for a westerner church-school educated older person to contemplate that there are people who have never been in a church. We (humans) are poor at removing ourselves from our self-cantered view of the world.
If you ever get the chance, they are wonderful works of civil engineering and beautiful spaces. As are mosques.
@danielbarnett if you still need, I’m up for it.
@Popehat well actually I do. On my work machine where it is a choice between edge and adobe, are you seriously telling me you’d choose adobe?
@RichardJMurphy
Completely agree. Streeting seems determined to become Milburn 2.0 with a giant chip on his shoulder, and Starker enabling. Cameron famously said “the last thing the NHS needs is another top down organisation” which I took him to mean in the sense of a coup de grâce. Having worked through every set of reforms since fundholding, I’m not convinced they improved anything. And nhs bureaucracy (such as it is) is only there because successive governments have tried to exert finer and finer control. Administration supporting clinical services is threadbare. I’m a consultant of 20 years - guess who gives out passwords for our imaging system? Guess who fills in forms for high cost drugs? Guess who transfers booking information by hand from one computer system to another? Guess who types letters? Yep, me.

You would have thought these MPs would have learned from these self-owns.
