Life insurance risk management by day. Sunday league football, choral singing, occasional hiking. Having an atrocious FPL season (evergreen). Personal views only

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

But voting red would be the act of a faithful - a traitor would have nothing to gain and everything to lose. Alan voting green when the person he had last voted for was still in the game was more suspicious... David might not clock that though so maybe you're right he would have turned on Nick!

There's an interesting parallel in the way language changes - sociolinguistics refers to overt prestige (wealthy elites) and covert prestige to distinguish these. Plenty of slang and other linguistic features associated with a "cool" group will spread even if they are not associated with the elite

I think this is it. Despair is easy and you get to feel wise, and it doesn't really place any obligations on you or force you to speak out or do anything, really.
I do sometimes wonder if there is a certain kind of person that takes refuge in despair because it absolves them from having to do anything.
No, you do in fact have to help maintain the social norm against racism in the UK! That is your moral duty as a British citizen! Giving up on that is immoral!

Just on a practical level - Superman has been out for longer, so it'll be out of cinemas soon, whereas you've got a few more weeks to catch FF. (I would also go with Superman anyway!)

The Mail invariably referred to young women as "flappers".
"Flappers" were party girls, who dashed about in motor cars and danced all night to jazz bands.
The Mirror - also, in those days, a right-wing paper - ran a series of cartoons, imagining the flapper running for Parliament.
