If we lose public order, trust & civility, then the middle classes will abandon our towns & cities & flee to the suburbs.
Britain’s low trust society. No more Enid Blyton and Evensong but Tesco branches looking like banks in El Salvador

I wonder how cold it gets flying through the winter air
Here’s a delivery drone dropping 5 super fresh pizzas into my garden in Dublin 3 minutes after they left the oven. I know it’s cool to talk about bottlecaps and cookie banners as Europe’s big innovations, but don’t forget there are legit areas where amazing stuff is happening.

On the growing discourtesy of corporate Britain.
My home contents have been insured by @rsagroup for over 30 years. Today they wrote to say they were getting out of the business. Not a word of apology. Not a scintilla of thanks for being a loyal customer. Just, “That’s it. Bye. You’re on your own, matey.” /1
