Oh #america - what have you done?
Every day, further evidence (as if it’s needed) of the brain-free, empathy-free zone that’s been created by populism, fuelled by greed.
Wouldn’t be so bad, but we all have to live (perhaps even die?) by your misjudgement.

We welcome the £270m investment announced today - a vital recognition of the direct benefit of heritage on people and places. Much of our cultural infrastructure, from museums to theatres, is also part of our heritage that will benefit from this funding.

Hopeless era in British politics, when a person well known and widely reported for his misogynist, homophobic observations is “elevated” to the Upper House. 🤷🏼♂️

Same principle ⬇️ when hiring staff … fast walkers improve productivity and help manage calories in workplaces.
Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

The most worrying aspect is not Fiona Bruce, the BBC or Nigel Farage … it’s a reckless electorate, weary of dumb politicians and their soon-broken pledges and generally shabby values. Oh yes, we the people have been ill-served, and now we’re chucking it right back at ‘em. Be afraid, be very afraid.
With Farage back on Question Time last night...
...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP.
And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.
