Who was it who gave Streeting and Mahmoud "hefty donations" in recent weeks? Annoying of the authors not to say

It still blows my mind that Kate Bush wrote a song about this... in 1989 !
Listen to it here:

![From the Wikipedia entry on "Deeper understanding":
Background-
Kate Bush explained that the song is about how people are replacing human relationships with technology:
"This is about people... well, about the modern situation, where more and more people are having less contact with human beings. We spend all day with machines; all night with machines. You know, all day, you're on the phone, all night you're watching telly. Press a button, this happens. [...] And this is the idea of someone who spends all their time with their computer and, like a lot of people, they spend an obsessive amount of time with their computer. People really build up heavy relationships with their computers!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7v6stzcsiimxm3g6cs3yvwlk/bafkreifj32ygx5aixnebqbazui55c72ixojplvviccrbresg4pouzwlxxe@jpeg)
