Random realisation. A song half remembered from childhood with a band in its lyrics. For years I have thought it was Roxy Music’s Oh Yeah. Now listening to Neil Young as I have tix to see him, and my song is definitely After the Gold Rush

Once more with feeling and a dollop of frustration … Taking our work without permission or payment is theft.

After watching tonight’s excellent #jacktheripper show with @lucyworsley.bsky.social you might be interested in my recent Ripper book One-Armed Jack which explores his identity and motivation. It was written in honour of my great-great grandfather, a Met police sergeant
