It takes me about ten minutes to read London Lite - less time than it takes me to reach the end of the Aldwych - on the bus in the evening, not to mention the fact that it’s a rubbish read from the publishers of the Daily Mail.

I’m supporting Ken a lot this evening. The Tories want to stop free bus and tram travel for under-18s. Transport poverty is a genuine issue and the parlous condition in which people on benefits or the minimum wage must live merely emphasies that. You will remember Michael Portillo just about living for a week as [...]

Disclaimer: this post was written on the bus, while under the influence and not all in one go, so if it’s rubbish, that’s why.

The BBC has found someone who is descended from King Harold as part of an alternative history where William of Normandy didn’t win the Battle of Hastings. However, Albert Turnbull is also descended from William of Normandy and [...]

Matt Sinclair is terribly concerned about pre-industrial hurricanes. It would appear, according to Matt, that the existence of hurricanes before the industrial revolution disproves or seriously damages the case that global warming exists. He links to a photo of a pre-industrial hurricane, dated 1897. The idea that the industrial revolution occured after 1897 is faintly [...]

Resonance 104.4 fm is one of my favourite radio stations. They are best summed up by themselves, here. In short, it is different to other radio stations, not tied to commercial interests and always worth listening to. It is the only radio station on my shortcut bar - not even Radio Four has that honour.
