They're just fucking wreckers aren't they? Driving wedges and sowing division where they should be building bridges. (Metaphor, Johnson. Metaphor) They know the writing is on the wall, and so now take every opportunity to shovel taxpayers cash into their mates pocket on the promise of lucrative non jobs once this is all over.

I'm sick of it, I despise them. I don't know what the future holds for this country, I hope the next government can start to turn the supertanker. #ToryCunts

Summer Holidays are for.... Other People

Apologies for the radio silence of late; it has been a hooly of a month. August started off routine enough, but as is always the way, that month runs away from one. Though I don’t work in farming in anger any more, I do get caught up in the workload of it all, and find myself running about patching up the big machines of the job throughout then harvest. Couple this to the academic project work that fills my diary and the litany of other jobs that come in and the net result is a vanishing summer. August frequently leaves me feeling like I need staff- a notion that tends to be reversed in December when I’m kicking my heels and counting my pennies.

Gaiman: " If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries. Are they voting to fund their libraries? Are they voting to keep them free? Then vote for those guys. They're probably the good guys. And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys."

“I will always be on the side of the libraries”: A Conversation with Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman is a fierce supporter of libraries. The author of American Gods, Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Sandman, Coraline, and so many more has had a lifelong love affair with reading. And he credits librarians for fostering his curiosity about books and learning at a young age. Gaiman spoke with I Love Libraries recently about libraries, comic books, book banning in the U.S., movies, and more.
