Married, father of 5 beautiful children, fed up with having to continually debunk nonsense on the internet - from AGW denial, through flat-earth to Brexit

I once listened to Grayling on the radio

About 2010/11 taking about re-privatising East coast rail

The interviewer read out all the stats whilst publicly run - customer satisfaction, punctuality, cleanliness

All up since taken back from a failing Co

Did that change his mind?

Not a chance

The "microshitisms"

Not being able to take plants to Europe, dog passports, extra delays, loss of FOM, closure of those bespoke Portuguese, Spanish, Greek delis

Relentless, endless shit

The way a 4% hit on our GDP is just waved away never ceases to amaze me

He is the son of a "Toolmaker" dontcha know

Seriously though the Dunt / Lynskey podcast on Starmer gave a great insight into his soul - it explains a lot including this sort of stuff

The devastating Sony hack a few years ago was in part enabled by the Chief Security office having a spreadsheet sheet on a shared drive called "Passwords.csv"
