Can someone explain to me how one talks about “decency or division” and racism, while doing exactly the same thing as the ones they are campaigning against? Catching up with newspapers and I’m completely lost.

It’s easy to forget how much of emotional labour it is to follow all these rules and potential changes and how they might apply to you. Similarly, future planning is again difficult- does it make a sense to even try to buy a house if you dont have an ILR?

A short read today with quite a convincing narrative on why we mosty see “approachable” wines in the market these days: timatkin.com/the-truth-ab.... Also being a generation that keeps renting and moving, I can’t really age wines myself. But then who can do it for me at good price?

Today I noticed that the bench at the stunning viewpoint by Durham train station is dedicated to some Robert Murrell MA - “advocate of integrated public transport”. Perhaps one of the greatest things to be remembered for by the local community!
