Have you ever visited Stockwell Bus Garage?
Not a Brutalist building in the purist sense, but an impressive concrete structure nonetheless which at the time of construction was the longest clear span in Europe.
It's also been celebrated in retro-style print...

I like to think...megalomaniac narcissists aside...that we're all pacifists at heart in that no one *wants* to go to war, but when faced with such an existential threat such as Fascism, it's hard to understand why someone wouldn't want to fight back against that.
Great composer though!

I seem to recall that his pacifism may have been a factor what with the US not officially at war at the time?

Optics has always been a big factor, we see the small boats arrive whereas we don't with legal migration.

Remove the oxygen for Farage's fist shaking photo ops by providing legal safe routes and processing centres in France (in lieu of existing camps) at UK cost.
Increasingly obvious that concern over immigration is entirely tied to small boat numbers. Falls in legal migration making zero difference to the narrative.

It's a comfort food classic! 😋
Easy to mix it up too depending on ingredients to hand e.g. most beans will do e.g. red kidney, cannellini.
I also use diced pancetta in lieu of bacon and find it doesn't need additional salt.
