Islands In The Mud

You know how there are islands in the Galapagos where there's a finch that's perfectly adapted to eat just that one seed that grows on that one island? And then on the next island there's another finch that's perfectly adapted to eat just that one seed that grows on the island…
Islands In The Mud
You know how there are islands in the Galapagos where there's a finch that's perfectly adapted to eat just that one seed that grows on that one island? And then on the next island there's another finch that's perfectly adapted to eat just that one seed that grows on the island where it lives, and so on? I think that mountain biking, or mountain bikers, can be a little bit like that.

🎤I am the very model of a modern crashed economy
I've underperformed vegetables like lettuces and broccoli
I know the cheese of England, and I want a Keir apology
From pork markets to pensions too, my life is tragicomedy
When you put it like that, it sounds like a Gilbert and Sullivan plot

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.
