A girl. A boy. A mystery.
It's 'End of a Century' – the must-read nostalgic romantic comedy for lovers of 'High Fidelity' and 'One Day'!
Take a trip to Glasgow and Camden in 1995 in the company of Des, Poppy and an unforgettable cast of characters...

I wonder if the people doing this, and the people cheering them on, ever wonder for a second how they'll be viewed and treated once this moment of collective madness has passed, as it inevitably will?

More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

True. Also because, in almost every case, people who undervalue the arts do so because they lack the emotional intelligence to be moved by the arts.

The Great Unmentionable has impoverished us all, is deemed a success by only a tiny minority ... and yet must be adhered to at all costs. Why?
It's hard to find an explanation for this madness that doesn't involve dark money, foreign influence or both.

That's the way our recently-departed 18-year-old cat, Eli, used to do it. Sprawled out, halfway out of bed, or with one end in bed and the other up a wall.

This is exactly what would happen with a Reform government.
Huge promises made by numbskulls with no idea how the real world actually works, followed by the inevitable massive cuts and reductions in public services.
And that's not even getting into, y'know, the fascism and all that.
