I have written a blog post about different types of filters - in it I try to cover the upsides and drawbacks of different types of restrictions, and also give some thoughts about the idea of resident exemptions. It’s long, but I hope it’s helpful. forestgatenorth.com/2023/02/…

She’s back, but the good news is my card is still here. With a longer and more consistent career than certain people in government, I might add. thortful.com/card/63514b412d…

U-turn alert. We DID decide to do a final song about the collapse of the government. So here’s “Gee, Sir Graham Brady” – our parody 🎶of “Gee, Officer Krupke” from West Side Story. In which we finish by calling for a #GeneralElectionNow 👉youtu.be/n49KYIo106U @SirGrahamBrady

Just dropped off my contribution to Miniature Forest Gate at @number8_FG. I had FAR too much fun making this out of things I found in the recycling bin: a lolly stick, a paper cup, a PG tips box and a used envelope amongst others. I wanted to portray @FGPride!

Excellent demolition of BJ's 'Ukraine defence' by @Freedland. He'll probably survive, but I do wonder whether, if he gets another few penalty notices, the narrative will suddenly & ferociously switch to saying he totally ignored the rules and must go. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Johnson should stay because of Ukraine? Nonsense. The war makes it more urgent he go | Jonathan...

The people of Ukraine are fighting for values that the British prime minister tramples on, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

I ❤️ the BBC. Because it’s the single greatest and most consequential cultural institution yet devised in the UK, because it does far more good for the brand of Global Britain than anything dreamed up by government, but mostly because it’s the best at what it does & it’s OURS.
