I dont often do this, so here are some live shots of Leicester City Centre from the past ten minutes.

The treacherous Grauniad is trying to drag this up again, claiming it caused a massive spike in Covid infections and deaths.
It didnt. It was one of the few sensible things we did. However it was subsequently scuppered because any benefit the hospitality industry got from it was ruined by another stupid pointless lockdown a few months later.

You can all run riot with this one - but, please, keep it clean!
To Imagination
by Emily Bronte
When weary with the long day's care,
And earthly change from pain to pain,
And lost, and ready to despair,
Thy kind voice calls me back again
O my true friend, I am not lone
While thou canst speak with such a tone!
So hopeless is the world without,
The world within I doubly prize;
Thy world where guile and hate and doubt
And cold suspicion never rise;
Where thou and I and Liberty
Have undisputed sovereignty.
What matters it that all around
Danger and grief and darkness lie,
If but within our bosom's bound
We hold a bright unsullied sky,
Warm with ten thousand mingled rays
Of suns that know no winter days?
Reason indeed may oft complain
For Nature's sad reality,
And tell the suffering heart how vain
Its cherished dreams must always be;
And Truth may rudely trample down
The flowers of Fancy newly blown.
But thou art ever there to bring
The hovering visions back and breathe
New glories o'er the blighted spring
And call a lovelier life from death,
And whisper with a voice divine
Of real worlds as bright as thine.
I trust not to thy phantom bliss,
Yet still in evening's quiet hour
With never-failing thankfulness I
welcome thee, benignant power,
Sure solacer of human cares
And brighter hope when hope despairs.

This season Wigan were relegated from the Championship. Since their last game, they've already received two 4 point penalties for not meeting basic financial commitments. They will start League One next season on -8 points.
The latest news is that the players weren't paid again yesterday - so there could be ANOTHER deduction.

...banned from primary schools in a district in Utah.
Given that is was done using a state law enforced by conservatives aimed at attacking books promoting cultural diversity I think it's fucking hilarious.
Hoisted by their own petard.
