(The only permanent exhibition on early modern drama beyond Shakespeare, within an authentic early modern performance space.)

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn.
That's how privatisation 'works'.

Every so often I still think how weird it was that in my last redundancy process HR sent me a questionnaire that included asking me what job I was moving to, with the note that "Unknown is not an allowed answer" 🙃

Having to get past drunken far right protesters tonight in Solihull just to get home after work.
Cue "how do you know they're far right? 🤬"
Mate, no one else goes out in torrential rain and hangs England flags on the church.

But surely this means that with the savings they'll make from not employing humans, they'll be able to pass those on to customers by doing away with the admin fee for cancelling tickets, or offer us discounts on the tickets themselves right?
