This is really lazy journalism. Quotes from a few people with an interest in one side or the other. No actual attempt to see what rural people actually think but just quote one side in the headline, in spite of the fact that most rural people are not alienated i.e. it is a lie. See the comments.

I was looking for this: yes. I remember literally rolling on the floor laughing when I first saw it.

Very relevant in the UK at the moment.

And given that you are omniscient I don't have to correct the typo.

You should try it with a line orchestra. theglasshouseicm.org/whats-on/hom.... Although given that you are omnipresent I guess you will be there.

Can someone do this calculation for Reform UK supporting accounts?

Looks great, but any chance of one where you can opt to enter a mix of income types e.g. employed and self employed and dividend? Having the option to include rental income would also highlight how that is relatively under taxed.

I read that as "Accidental release of prisoners (Prince Andrew)". Then realised he still hasn't been locked up.

Thank you. Interesting. At this level it is all about the subjectivity. Olafsson played the same concerto in Gateshead with RNS earlier this year, had me captivated. Also really enjoyed them playing Ortiz Clara recently. That one is on YouTube. Philharmonia touring the states now.

Any chance of a gift link? Mostly being nosy as my son is playing with them on this tour...

How was it? Did you spot the bit where the score instructs musicians to play like an explosion of intense and bright fractured light?

Not fair on Ortiz. The last royal Northern sinfonia concert included an amazing piece by her - still available on YouTube. You find me a live male composer who is as interesting.

If I have to be next to the thing in order to use it, making it wireless and controlled by an app is not in fact what I want.
