Reading Sherlock Holmes. He refers to Tavistock as a city: surely Tavistock is a town, isn’t it?
Oh dear! @camden Council rubbish collection is hopeless. I’ve been trying for weeks to get a green box for compost. Nothing happens! When I (repeatedly) phone to complain… they say: “well just put it in the black bags” is this a coherent recycling policy?!….I fear not!!!
The Tories have changed the rules to make the London mayoral election a two horse race. (First past the post.) Which means it's a choice between a dire Tory or Sadiq, about whom they are peddling desperate lies, and cynically stirring up racial hatred. So it's an easy choice.
@implausibleblog Oh! Him,wasn't he the guy who likes Zero tolerance 🙄
@andrewcopson @Humanists_UK Too right. The treatment of refugees by the British state will be compared in future to the humanitarian outrages of Empire. There seems to be no limit to the egregious cruelty. It is good that the humanist movement should speak up against it.

Reading another article in a national paper on how Christianity invented all good ideas - justice, love etc makes me recall wonderful lines of Simon Blackburn in his 2001 Voltaire Lecture, calling these claims, 'one of the most barefaced takeover bids in the history of thought'.
