I had this exchange with Arron Banks' sidekick Andy Wigmore in August 2017. Wigmore was comms director for LeaveEU. He & Banks went on to lie to a parliamentary committee & successive PMs (until now) found it convenient to cover up the truth about Russia's involvement in Brexit.

At last! DWJ is eminently adaptable. I think "The Merlin Conspiracy" could well make the length we're discussing. I would truly love to see Chrestomanci on TV,if only for thedressing gowns!

The BBC did do one of the "Johnny" books. With BRIAN BLESSED.

Same here. I've carefully avoided that film for a long time.

Have you seen the wonderful animated (Cosgrove-Hall) series of Truckers? It's a bit short, but beautifully done.

We had our revolution first, in the 1640s. It's a significant part of the reason we didn't have one later, though there was much change, some of which coincided with unrest in Europe (1832, 1848, 1870 and so on.)

The International Criminal Court enforces the Geneva Conventions and other international laws of war against genocide and illegal actions of governments. Trying to cripple it is basically saying, we're looking for ways to violate international laws without consequence. Like crippling the US DOJ.

The barbarism is fast putting the USA in the same category as Myanmar, Belorus and North Korea. Disgusting administration.

The United States is currently grappling with an alarming surge in foodborne illnesses, linked predominantly to corporate negligence and inadequate government oversight....

The British voter’s only have themselves to blame for listening to Boris and Nigel’s BS. And their inherent racist hate for non whites which was so strong they didn’t care how much economic damage they did to their own best interests

HAVING TO WRITE YOUR OWN GROCERY LIST IS NOT WORSE THAN MAKING THIS MAN MORE POWERFUL

These two ruined our futures and those of our children, made us all poorer, destroyed our economy and made us a worldwide laughing stock. They should never be forgiven…. 🤬😔

"This kind of trauma takes time to process. Your mind shuts it out, so you need people to help you piece it back together." "That’s what she’s doing on this phone call, and they’re gaslighting her." The ā€˜Cornell 7’ case is posing questions about life for women on US campuses.

A late friend of mine taught science in an old school in England but was also appointed Librarian (no qualifications required). She culled an enormous amount as "dross", including much of the personal library a novelist of some repute bequeathed to her old school. No experts consulted.
