@statsguy Braverman, obvs., being a serious thorn to my point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@statsguy Touché, although I suspect that while Patel, Francois & co are backbenchers, the current leadership aren't yet quite that far right.
I did use "more" with some consideration...
@statsguy Can't speak to the legalities of it, but as ever it's the tory leadership capitulating to the more fascist elements of the party. Great.
@clacksee Oh, this looks interesting!

I heartily approve of the precedent the government is setting in ignoring court rulings that we don't like.
I'm not particularly keen on the amount of tax I pay. So I'm thinking that if I pay less tax, and I end up with a court ruling telling me to pay more tax, I'll just ignore it.
That would be fine, right, Rishi?
I think–with my fairly robust constitution and love of bread–that I would have done quite well in the Middle Ages. Until my back gave in, of course: then I would have been screwed. #ShowerThoughts
@davep @nullifidian @supermarielle@artisan.chat 👍
I gave the missus a gift card for a visit for her recent birthday. Still need to arrange the actual visitation though. That’s what comes of living in the sticks…
@davep @supermarielle@artisan.chat Cat cafe?

Interesting combination of adjacent shop signs in #March in rural #Cambridgeshire. This one is quite well known, so apologies if you’ve seen it before. #ThePetShopBoys

Ah, I see Sunak has finally declared his financial interests now that he got caught.
Remember folks, just because Sunak knows how to use a comb and turns up to Parliament sober, it doesn't mean he's any less of a crook than Johnson.
Who am I kidding? I'm keeping that old shirt until it's nothing but a thread.
I guess I *could* get a new T-shirt, to replace the one I got in *checks wardrobe* 1992.

Better late than never, I suppose, but it would have been nice if the government had been alert to the threat of Russian cyber operations causing massive damage to the UK when it really mattered back in 2016.
Arse. That link is missing episodes 7 & 8. This one has all 8 episodes:

I don’t have the BBC radio plays, but it’s available on the Internet Archive. https://archive.org/details/foundationtrilogythe--bbc1973radiodrama8hours
I *do* have the books-on-tape versions (digitised) of most (if not all) of the Foundation series, if either of you are interested… HMU and I’ll package them up.
@xtaldave That sounds fun!
@statsguy I was hoping Murdoch’s empire would be censured, and possibly neutered. At least some of the truth is out.
