I do @our_yesterdays to excavate the longer history.

Will start in 70s.
Happy to answer questions

3. I spoke to my brother, in Brisbane, Australia. He is surrounded by floodwaters. Some places have had 1 *metre* of rain in a few hours. More rain fell in 2 days than in a usual 4 months. And it rains a lot in Brisbane normally.

Britain is in trouble if it continues to go through with Brexit as it is doing currently. Our institutions are not working as they should and to prove it we only need to look at the government policy of leaving the Single Market.
