Door 13 of #Shedvent: You awake to a fall of fresh, thick snow. There is no sign of your transport. As you sit down to a lavish breakfast of freshly baked rolls, hot coffee and chestnuts in spiced cider, you reconcile yourself to the fact that you’re snowed in here for awhile…

Day 12 of #Shedvent: You spend an evening at the inn, wth a warm fire, merry company, and good food and drink in abundance. Thence to a four-poster bed, linen sheets and pillows of silk and eiderdown, on which you sleep more soundly than you can ever remember...

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.

I think we’ve found the most British crime:
Four people have been arrested after custard and apple crumble were flung at a display case containing part of the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London.

If you need to understand what's happening, this farce is a perfect place to begin.
A broken, unhappy man is being given a fake award he doesn't deserve by a corrupt group looking to bribe him and earn favors. It's meaningless, everything he wants, and it won't matter to him within an hour.
