Maybe we should all make a New Year's resolution to give some money to the Guardian to keep a decent global newspaper alive
I've been doing the Guardian Saturday crossword with my son for three years now
My mind has finally clocked how it works and I can keep up with him at last
I am the old dog that has learned a new trick
We are a wonderful country, full of kind and caring people
Faith in each other can build hope in 2026
A cosy chat between three men about the importance of Athelstan (no mention of Athelflad); celebration of Welsh princes and Scottish king paying homage to Athelstan

βTrump doesn't have any policies, he has whims. It scares the shit out of me.
The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy.

Post Office scandal - postmasters fraudulently convicted of crime. Fujitsu still gets public contracts. After 30 years no one charged.

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

Lucrative appointments for failed ministers.
They aren't hired for technical know-how but to exploit political links acquired with public money. What is the return to taxpayers for that investment?
