If you said you were drunk but thankfully you barely drove home without passing out it would be universally agreed you should go to jail. It’s maddening how apparently if you own a Tesla, though, you’re allowed to brag about getting behind the wheel while impaired to the point of unconsciousness.

There is a distinct lack of public voices making the case for the UK and EU working together, and far too many finding fault with something or other. Which at a point when Europe collectively is struggling isn't a good sign.

I wonder when we're going to start thinking seriously in the UK about what would be required of us in a war against Russia - well, an expansion of the current war into a recognised continental war. There will be a lot of pressure to stay isolated on the left and right.

The much missed Scottish Trades Unionist Emma Ritch had a great story of rushing to a meeting in her office and being handed a bunch of papers by an attendee to photocopy.
Lacking time to argue she did so, handed them to the bloke and then sat down to chair the meeting.

I heard a story about a female academic giving a paper at the IHR who, after receiving a long and aggressive question from a senior male professor, simply leaned back with her hands behind her head and replied “Oh, do fuck off.”
One of my colleagues went to a seminar at Berkeley and when someone asked a question Derrida brushed it off saying ‘what you ask may be important but it is not interesting’.
