Only when we rid ourselves of these grown-up children, when we together stop genuflecting to their privilege and entitlement, can we as a country together become what we might become. on.ft.com/2ZLSufv
(That piece, by @KuperSimon, is one of the most extraordinary essays I can ever recall reading. I can't recommend it more highly.)
Any chance, @lionelbarber, now it's been published in print form, you might be able to put that piece in front of the paywall? Such an important piece...

That'll teach me to order tickets from @viagogo. A fraudulent (I believe) listing and contemptuous customer service.
(Sorry to mouth off about my experience with crappy B2C brand X. Not sure I've ever done it before and hope never to bore you with it again. You all know what they're like without me needing to tell you.)
(Now feel obliged to say that they've offered me a £75 voucher.)

Two things about this crowdfunding (theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/j…) for a potential judicial review into delays in criminal investigations into Leave wrongdoing.

First, there is a real issue. The extracts below suggest an alarming linkage between political concerns and criminal law.
However, second, I think we should be concerned about the use of crowdfunding to cover the professional costs of scoping exercises into whether judicial review proceedings can be brought. I don't see how there can possibly be proper accountability for the decisions to crowdfund.

As I read this, the @brexitparty_uk accepts it has been breaking the law in accepting donations without checking whether they are from a permissible source. Why otherwise would it agree to return them?
If @brexitparty_uk can't know the donor is a permissible one, they will have to forfeit or return the donations. But the problem for @brexitparty_uk is, their systems appears to be deliberately set up so they can't check the source of many donations.
Have @brexitparty_uk shot themselves in the foot? Have they landed themselves with an enormous obligation to repay or forfeit donations? Do they have the money to meet that obligation? Might they go under?

Can Jeremy Hunt halt Boris Johnson’s inexorable rise? The foreign secretary knows he’s the underdog but has a plan.

“The way for Hunt to win is to make people realise that Boris’ promises on Brexit won’t be delivered.”

My latest ft.com/content/fd568d… via @financialtimes
Hunt is the choice of 11% of Tory members and 8/1 in the bookies. But his supporters are hopeful:

“I think that four weeks is enough for people to stop, think and appreciate what it takes to be PM. All the warning lights about Boris should be flashing.” 

ft.com/content/fd568d…
But very few Tory campaigners genuinely thinks Hunt can win the contest.

“Boris is incredibly difficult to beat. I suspect Hunt will struggle to get more than 30 per cent of the vote. It could well be closer to 20,” says one.

So my video yesterday generated an interesting conversation on WhatsApp with an acquaintance which i am going to share(I already notified her i would be sharing).
This is a common conversation i normally ignore but for some reasons i had time for this.🤗
My dear how many people have you heard kidnapped or killed by the insecurity in Nigeria? They once felt safe.
We are all victims waiting to happen.
My dear yesterday's victims were once survivors. Today's victims were yesterday's survivors and tomorrow's victims would be today's survivors. The question i want you to ponder on deeply is WHO'S NEXT?

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
