Whispers: There isn’t a “right” to work from home. Employers decide how many people they need to run their business and where they want to hire them. Good employers should be sensible and considerate about accommodating their workers’ needs where practical. Dictating where you work is not a right.

Times headline “Right to work from home boosted under Labour plans”

“This product provides nicotine… which is addictive… should only be used by adults”. (In Sainsbury’s.) so why are we still permitting it to be advertised when we’ve prevented tobacco being advertised? Time for an update.

But I have questions about this… How was Christ born 4-6BC? The rules are that his birth is year zero. BC is Before Christ. Surely? FT is suggesting that he died at 37 and we all learned in catechism that he was 33.

The FA is stupid (and Iceland is a great team supporter).

Cutting from The Times about Iceland rebranding three of their stores England for the World Cup, which the FA disapproved of…

Bernard Crick’s 1982 intro to The Lion and the Unicorn: “The post war world… has been dominated by mass media.. which can only think short term, and trivialise, sensationalise and entertain… working against political understanding …(or) the development of a politically literate and active majority.”

BBC radio 4 geopolitical commentary apparently ceded to comedians. Armando Ianucci and Stewart Lee apparently our guide to the US/Iran MOU. Not as Reithian as you might hope. (Strong Message here.) Are comedians cheaper than journalists?

Yet ‘Apollo’s primary mode of travel was a magnificent flying chariot pulled by beautiful, majestic swans. As the god of the sun and light, he used this swan-driven chariot to journey across the sky from east to west every day, acting as the harbinger of daylight.’ Happily he didn’t get a ticket.

Wrong @marks&spencer so very wrong. Hot Cross Buns are for Lent, really just Good Friday. You cannot have Tiramisu or Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns. Wrong in every way.

Brent Council now requires all landlords to be licensed to raise standards and protect renters (and decent landlords), improve housing conditions, and act if standards are not met. If you have concerns about a rental property please get in touch with a brief summary. We will help and we will act.
