I’ve lost track of the number of “red tape challenges” I’ve lived through - commitments to “slash regulations”, “roll back the frontiers of the state”, blah blah. Sure have a go. Repealing obscure, already obsolete rules doesn’t count

The historic Gotthard railway was sidelined when the Gotthard Base Tunnel was opened in 2016, but you can still travel on the classic route, which is why we have chosen to make it Route 42 in the 19th edition of Europe by Rail. Photo © Leonid Andronov / Dreamstime

This is true. I think being too online can be a huge problem, but one really underestimates how little time most people spend following the news, especially online.

👀 Hungary is about to establish a new Office for Asset Protection and Recovery. Parliament elected its first president today. She says Hungary could set an example for the world, as nowhere, she argues, have those responsible for a corrupt criminal system ever been fully held to account.

Happy birthday Rachel Sweet, 64 today, veteran of the bonkers yet marvellous initiative that was the 'Be Stiff Tour’ of 1978 (where all the acts travelled the length & breadth of the UK to gigs on a special ‘Stiff’ charter train).

There are so many misconceptions about secure hospitals and the mentally ill prisoners sent there. The regular prison estate is not equipped to house and treat severely mentally ill people. They become more unwell putting themselves and the staff at risk.

Comparisons are invidious but People who were around at that time might well have found a place for Eusebio in that list.
