Hver gang min fireårige datter står og vasker hænder synger hun:

Vaske hænder
Raske venner
På med vand og sæbe
Væk med alt det slemme
Tommel ikke glemme
Før vi spiser
Når vi grisser
Og gør stort og tisser.
Hun har lært det i børnehaven, og hun bliver troligen ved med at vaske hænderne, indtil sangen af omme, og tomlen på begge hænder får også en tur på det relevante sted i sangen.
Nej, det er vel ikke en professionel håndvask, som kommer ud af det, men jeg kan godt love, at hendes hænder er betydeligt renere bagefter, end mine nogensinde blev det i fireårsalderen. Så #genren læredigt er virkelig kommet til sin ret her.
Melodien er Bellmans "Gubben Noah", men det ved nok hverken hun eller børnehaven, og hvorfor skulle de også bekymre sig om det. For dem er det enten "Lille Lise" eller "Bjørnen sover", og det er helt fint.
Men mit litteraturhistorikerhjerte kan ikke helt lade være med at fryde sig over, at en drikkevise fra den svenske rokoko nu er med til at beskytte min datter og hendes kammerater i en pandemi. Jeg ved ikke, hvem der har skrevet den nye tekst, men jeg er ret imponeret.
Den ligger fint på versefødderne og får både dækket (noget af) teknikken ved håndvask, en del af grunden til håndvasken og flertallet af de rigtige tidspunkter for håndvasken.
Jeg er næsten sikker på at Bellman smiler fra sin sikkert let fydebøtteagtige himmel, når min datter står der faktisk får vellykket renere hænder ved hans skønne melodis let underspillede elegance og store popularitet.

I'd like to take a minute to address the deployment of "Christian forgiveness" in the Downing Street Debauchery Debacle.

I ask my very good atheist friends to please forgive me for going full-on theologian on the topic. The point could basically be made without faith. 1/
But once faith enters into the picture - dragged in by the disingenuous defenders of the indefensible - those of us who profess to have faith are called to make a reply. So bear with me. 2/
My language is very much the language of the believer, but if your language is not, I am sure you can recast the whole thread in ethical terms and we'll find ourselves in complete agreement on the other side. 3/

Since the border issue is up again, this note which I have made before.

Brexit can only be a success for the UK if there is an open border between the EU and the UK but without regulatory alignment. 1/
Because that would allow the UK to use the border as a giant backdoor into the single market without abiding by its rules and make a killing out of undercutting its standards. 2/
This would be destructive to the single market and - by consequence - to the EU, but it would show Brexit Britain as a success. 3/

@EmporersNewC I think it's worth noting that even taken as a threat, this is a huge failure.

What we are dealing with here is a so-called conditional threat: Do this OR I will do that to you - i.e. Give me all the money you owe me, OR I'll beat you up. 1/
@EmporersNewC For a conditional threat to work (yep, it's a #genre thing) the consequence of non-compliance has to be worse than what the threatened party has to do to comply. 2/
@EmporersNewC "Give me your wallet, or I'll kill your children" works; "kill your children, or I''ll take your wallet" usually doesn't. 3/

I don't doubt that Boris Johnson is doing his best. In fact, I am sure of it.

However, unfortunately, his best is also his worst. And it's hugely damaging for the UK. 1/
I know it's his best, because he has neither the will nor the ability to change, much less improve. He will never get better. What you see now is what you get. It's his best. 2/
Are British waterways getting polluted? Not his problem. Never was, never will be.

Catastrophically rising cost of living for UJ citizens? Not his problem. Never was. Never will be. 3/

"A much more minor example of Brexiter desperation is that of a widely-mocked tweet by Paul Embery, the Lexiter trade unionist and writer. 1/
In it, he derided the EU’s sanctioning of 160 individuals in one day (compared with seven by the UK the same day), by saying that the EU’s total only “works out to six individuals per EU member state”. 2/
I disagree with most of what Embery writes, but it would be absurd and insulting to suggest he isn’t intelligent enough to realise that when the EU sanctions individuals they are sanctioned by every member state, so dividing them up in this way makes no sense at all. 3/

@HanneTange1 @gaidheileamail1 Don't say I didn't warn you.

How do you address a knight?

- By his sir name, obviously. 1/
@HanneTange1 @gaidheileamail1 Which Knight of the Round Table always one due to fortunate circumstance?

- Sir Rendipity. 2/
