Ah! All a bit hazy now. Think I used to go for (music) Paleography tutorials on Lensfield Terrace best part of half a century ago! 😬

US envoy Keith Kellogg:

If Putin was winning, he'd be in Kyiv.If he was winning,he'd be west of the Dnieper River.If he was winning,he'd be on Odesa.If he was winning,he would have changed the government. Russia is,in fact,losing this war.

Sadly no playing – it was all highly theoretical!

Should have explained, most of us were recent undergraduates; he must have been mid 40s and was doing the course purely out of intellectual curiosity. When I asked him what he did for a living he said he was a graphic designer – I only became aware of who he was after his death was announced.

Met Cardew in 1981 when we were both students on an M Mus Theory and Analysis course at King's Coll London. At the time, I had no idea who he was. He was unfailingly modest and courteous. We were all totally shocked when we heard that he had died.

Barely worth responding to, but insane; young people don't have the experience/knowledge to vote, and their parents would in no meaningful sense vote as "the representative of the child" –– they'd just vote in accordance with their own particular prejudice. Personally I'd raised the voting age to 25

So parents get two – or more – votes. Great, well done John!

Ah. Ok, then how would the average 0-year-old indicate their voting intention?

Far too old. Should obviously be pre-conception, which could increase the electorate exponentially!
