@thameschoral.bsky.social it’s all your fault! Most surprised to find it available on CD. Took less than a week to arrive from the US. Good stuff indeed, thanks.

Reform put this crap out for attention and in order to appear like a serious political outfit. They're in fact DEEPLY unserious and should be treated as such. Far too many people start to engage with what is essentially a game of pigeon chess. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform UK benefits ban for foreign nationals would include EU citizens
The move would require renegotiating the UK's Brexit deal and could risk stripping British expats living in the EU of similar rights.

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1

This was recently nominated at our book club but wasn’t selected via our randomiser process. I recalled reading one of his previous works so took a punt and bought it anyway. I’m 70 pages in and loving it. Turns out the ‘previous work’ was written by Nigel Williams…
