Great piece from Zoe Williams in the Guardian today:
I knew Rod Liddle and hated what he became. He would have wanted me to say so

Tongue in Chic by Banco de Gaia. Embarrassing. But there you go.
Do you use 37signals’ products? I’ll not link to David Heinemeier Hansson’s piece on Europe. You don’t need to read it - and I’m sure you can Google it if you want to. But, fuck me. What a nasty piece of work this techbro Nazi is.
This is an odd headline from the Guardian this morning:
Ann Widdecombe killing: police investigating possible leftwing motivation
“Extreme left motivation” I could swallow, but “leftwing”?
Why have British elites failed? Why despite the evidence of failure do they continue to fail? What are the institutional and educational determinants? Can they be fixed in a reasonable (years not decades) timeframe? Who are the beneficiaries of failure given the negligible impetus for change?
The political class dare not say, “our policies are impoverishing people”. So, instead, we have “cost of living crisis”.
