The Telegraph slammed the BBC for “championing” Bob Vylan….
But the Telegraph forgot to mention it gave Bob Vylan a glowing four-star review last year and trumpeted that they “had somehow established a mood of feel-good catharsis."

Plenty studies showing that your postcode is a better predictor of your health outcomes than your genome.
The BBC & Telegraph are trailing Wes Streeting’s technophile health plans, including genomic mapping at birth.
Is this really gonna transform the NHS into a prevention service within 10 yrs, as Wes claims? For v rare genetic conditions, praps. But for the real burden of disease?
Thoughts, #medsky?

Many old Irish sayings contain wisdom that’s applicable today. But my favourite is a proverb warning against launching into something that’s impractical, poorly planned, or just plain unhinged. It goes ná bolt do dhoras riamh le cairéad bruite and it means “never bolt your door with a boiled carrot”

Public ownership of water is the most popular of all potential re-nationalisations. That only the Green Party plus a friend stood up for this in the House of Lords demonstrates the distance between our major political parties and public opinion. See WE OWN IT website for polls.
A reminder ...
Last night only THREE peers in the House of Lords called for public ownership of England's water industry.
That was me, Jenny Jones & Natalie Bennett (Green Party) out of a membership of 827.
Public ownership officially opposed by Labour, Tories and LibDems.
Most people want to end the scandal.

Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified…
…once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’.
