The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

In 1642 Cromwell's men broke these windows at Winchester Cathedral, and in the 1660s when the locals, who had gathered the #pieces, went to put it back together, no one had a drawing of how it looked, so it was replaced as this mosaic of colour 🤩 #BlueSkyArtShow

This is silly. None of my friends are voting Reform and that is why they are my friends; whereas I’m sure I have acquaintances who might be voting for them, but I don’t discuss politics with acquaintances.
It's got to the stage where if 'you don't know anyone whose voting for Reform' you need to broaden your social circle.
Or, perhaps, reflect on what it is about your behaviour that means your friends don't feel able to be open with you about politics.

Arsenal should have committed to this act long ago.
