"Why?", people ask me, or "¿Por qué?" when I'm in Spanglish mode. Because questions make us human, and answers complete the circle.

Boris Johnson, 1 Dec: "All the guidelines were observed" #SueGrayReport, 31 Jan: "At least some of the gatherings in question represent a serious failure to observe...the standards expected of the entire British population at the time" He misled Parliament. #Borisresign

Jaw-dropping poor judgement from @TheEconomist and @LouisVuitton
‘Towards a dream’ raft made of expensive luggage @LouisVuitton’s advert in @TheEconomist’s climate edition
Ok @guardian - is not uploading today’s Prize #crossword to the website part of some sick marketing strategy to force me to go to the shops and buy the print edition? (And yes I already donate each month)

Oh I see - you HID it. Clearly all part of the brain-teasing bankholiday fun.
Looking at the zero nominations for #IMayDestroyYou at the #GoldenGlobes and remembering last year's zero nominations for #Watchmen. The US foreign press has previous, folks.
Heartbreaking listening to an Oxford school head on @BBCWorldatOne saying 150 of her disadvantaged pupils had no laptops and/or WiFi at home, DoE only able to provide 7. Can we start a JustGiving fund to provide #lockdown IT for these and other children?
Just spoken to Queen Mary Hospital London, where my 86 yr old mum is. No patients of any age have been vaccinated. Nor have staff. No word when vaccine is due. GPs around London are already vaccinating healthy 80+ patients, so why aren't hospitals getting supplies? @BBCNews
Just Googling "Clive James zombies" (don't ask), and came across this, from his 2005 interview with Andy Warhol: "I didn't think much of his paintings, which struck me as sheets of stamps designed by the semi-gifted daughter of a Third World despot." RIP, lovely man.
