Relaxed Monday

I have been watching some quite old episodes of The Big Bag Theory (Season 4 to be precise) as i found a DVD set in one of my charity shop excursions. Some of these episodes are some of the funniest.

The robotic hand on Howard's man parts still cracks me up in stitches.

This morning i listened to some classical music and read a few more pages from a book by Julian Barnes.

Two CD's arrived - the one form yesterday (Joe Harriott) and a Godspeed You Black Emperor CD. So i shall listening to these later on.

Picked up an urgent job from one of my companies and it is Brighton ,which i shall do tomorrow, along with a couple in Redhill and Gatwick. Another busy day.

An Homage To The Beats

I was listening to a Lawrence Ferlinghetti Cd and thought about the beat generation which he was part of..so here is my homage to that period of fifties and sixties counterculture.

Democracy Hijacked

Thanks to mirabile_dictu for pointing me to this long Guardian / Observer article but it is well worth reading it.

The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/07/the-great-british-brexit-robbery-hijacked-democrac

“The plan put to the minister was Minority Report. It was pre-crime. And the fact that Cambridge Analytica is now working inside the Pentagon is, I think, absolutely terrifying,”

"Martin Moore of King’s College, London, pointed out that elections were a newly fashionable tool for would-be authoritarian states. “Look at Erdoğan in Turkey. What Theresa May is doing is quite anti-democratic in a way. It’s about enhancing her power very deliberately. It’s not about a battle of policy between two parties.”




Scary stuff.
