It’s #WorldMSDay. I spoke about how it affects me on this week’s TAW Midweek Extra show, which is free on YouTube (and wherever else you get your podcasts) in case you want to listen. It’s also fine if you don’t want to listen, for the record. youtu.be/5ugmVDfttlE?...

I know this isn't the point. But Liverpool has great museums and galleries, superb nightlife for all tastes, two awesome cathedrals, an attractive docklands, rich musical and footballing heritage, and a boycott of the Sun. If you believe it's a shithole, you're both intellectually lazy and wrong.
