There's a very easy solution to that particular wrinkle.

Why do people think England flags have been raised on lampposts?

Well that's nice

Unfair, it's always been very useful for hiding the proceeds of crime.

Cowardice is the defining characteristic of the Starmer administration.

This is a government that tends to punch down.

The Starmer office's freakout over Ulez and Uxbridge really was the most significant thing they did in opposition, in that it showed a basic inability to grasp 'unpopularity is what the middle years of your term in office are FOR'.

Great final para:

"In the meantime, if people are nostalgic for life without smartphones (young or old), there is an obvious option. Just put your device down and go outside. It’s a lot like the 1990s out there, only the streets are safer and the air is cleaner."

Yes and no. Totally correct about Starmer's long-evident cowardice and the possibility of being dull *and* inept, but for his bit to be true he's need to be about 10 years old...

"The result was the softest treatment of an incoming government I can remember."

My favourite film of all time.
