Partygate - be angry. Be very angry.

 Seen 'Partygate'?

A dramatisation (backed up with evidence and witness statements from the Gray Report) of the events which took place at Downing Street during lockdown, featuring interviews with relatives of people who died alone; those who were fined (an average of £6k) for non-compliance; and healthcare professionals who sacrificed everything because they wanted to do the right thing.

All the while, Downing Street staff were blatantly flouting the rules which they had been instrumental in creating. Their punishment? Johnson and Sunak were fined £50 each.
 
Absolutely sickening.

We should be angry. The current chaotic administration, and all of its many previous iterations have taken the piss out of all of us for too long.

They continue to do so.

The current PM makes decisions based on how it will play with the electorate, and what serves him and his acolytes rather than what serves the country. 

A PM who won’t “speculate” on decisions that HE is making.

We have a Home Secretary introducing rules which would have prevented her parents from entering Britain; a person who took full advantage of the European Union’s Erasmus scholarship programme, yet voted to leave.

What we're hopefully seeing here is the last gasps of a moribund government; one which is demonstrably, objectively, and, by any measure, the worst this country has seen.

Their end can't come soon enough.

There, I've said it.

💯 would not recommend.

Hope that helps.

Uncharacteristically personal post. Delete if not allowed.

Definitely not a cry for help (I'm FINE), and not attention-seeking (well, no more than usual, any road) and I think I'm writing it to keep a record of it, and offload it: Better out than in (as my dear, sweet, grandmother would say). I've always loved an off-season seaside resort. I enjoy the melancholy vibe. I particularly love this stretch of Welsh *checks* Cambrian coast; the location of many happy family holidays with my parents, brother, aunt, uncle, cousins, and Grandad Evans, who I adored: Funny, mild-mannered, generous: a true role model. He died when I was 12; the first human death I experienced. I think of him often, in fact, every time I wash my face in cold water; something he did every night; he told me so in a holiday cottage not far from here, in Harlech; one of those trivial incidents and conversations which resonate for a lifetime. I've been melancholic for a while, particularly in the last week, where the deaths of people have made me think of mort...

Herbert Life: Manzoni's Plan for Britain's Motor City.

Herbert Manzoni isn’t exactly a household name—unless your nan's house was knocked down to make way for a ring road. But there’s no denying the mark he left on the city.  Born in 1899, Manzoni trained as a civil engineer before becoming Birmingham’s City Engineer in 1935 and Planning Officer in 1938. With war damage, traffic chaos, and outdated housing pressing down on the city, he saw a rare opportunity to start over. “ Herbert always had a ruler in one hand and the future in the other.” — Charles Bird, Assistant Engineer, Birmingham City Council (1971) Manzoni believed in mobility, efficiency, and clean modern living. Victorian Birmingham, with its cramped back-to-backs and narrow streets, didn’t meet his brief. During his tenure as Birmingham City Engineer and Surveyor (1935–1963), and with housing a major focus of urban redevelopment, he spearheaded some of the most significant and controversial projects in Birmingham’s modern history. His belief that "The slum cannot be...

Biscuits for the Busmeister.

Trip to Warwickshire to see, and bring biscuits (Liebniz, Viennese Whirls, Fruit Shortcake) to my friend Robin Fearn, a.k.a Busmeister, a leading light of the VW T3 scene. Amongst the customer vehicles (Robin has just completed a PD 130 conversion to the recently reupholstered Doka on the ramp), we see his Carat which, when his client order book allows, will receive V8 might from a donor S6, and ride on Porsche Sport Design 18's. Also seen here, Robin's Massala Red panel van, recently converted to MK3 GTi 8v propulsion, the 16v's manifold being too large for the bay. Finally, we see a customer's Doka, with bespoke rear panels and a new A8 subframe, waiting in the paint booth, shortly to receive V8 brawn from an S8. More on Robin here: https://busmeister.com/
