i personally have nothing but fond feelings towards national ID cards. i paid a whole £10 for an *extremely* legitimate looking one in 2006 only to have it immediately confiscated by the bartender who pointed out "it's literally on the front page today that the government has rejected this scheme".

Earlier this year, I spent considerable time working on an essay for @ftweekend.com about issues around autism: www.ft.com/content/d1ba... I read a great deal about the condition and spoke to several experts. There is no indication whatever that use of a single drug in pregnancy is linked to it.

not saying jeremy clarkson is a bad man but he is consistently the only person in this village who doesn't do a little hand wave of acknowledgment if you have to pull over for him while driving. which is the countryside equivalent of not saying thank you when someone holds the door.

I wrote about the loss of excitement around veganism, which I think reflects a deeper shift: progressives have lost faith that they can change the world.

Went to a proper restaurant for an Old School Lunch and on the table next to me close enough that I heard every word a food and drink PR was pitching a client about the launch of their new restaurant.
“We want to be in the FT”, they said.
“Well the FT doesn’t really do restaurants”, she said.
