I’m interested. Can you signpost me to anything more I can read please?

Oh yes - the arrogance is infuriating

Me too! And then claiming that it’s the bright shiny new thing when I can remember something from years and years ago that was just the same. Maddening! So little interest in historical review - and no doubt then offering expensive training in the supposedly new shiny approach!

While I spot you posting - can I say how engrossed I am in your survivor’s guide - it’s taking me a long time to read because I keep having to double back on paragraphs to delight in your use of language, metaphor & ability to encapsulate complex issues in a few well chosen words. Thank you.

The problem is the size of soapbox he has. Pub bores and wild eyed reactionaries have existed forever in pubs& on literal soapboxes at Hyde Park corner. But this one has grabbed control of the online town square& is luring all like himself through a megaphone.

Here in South East Wales we’ve only, today, got one passable route out from our home - now that flooded roads have subsided and fallen trees removed.
