Re: Tuesday 16th July 2019
Morning all.
I see that someone at The Guardian has read a book that is likely to be in most bookshops - and a copy of which is on my bookshelf.
So why they feel the need to imply that they spent hours in a dusty archive before finding the one copy is a bit odd.

We "unearthed" an 1886 building plan for a police station last week but as it is a single copy (in pieces) and filed in a completely different box I think that it's valid to say that.Boris Johnson has been strongly criticised for arguing Islam has caused the Muslim world to be “literally centuries behind” the west, in an essay unearthed by the Guardian.
Writing about the rise of the religion in an appendix added to a later edition of The Dream of Rome, his 2006 book about the Roman empire, Johnson said there was something about Islam that hindered development in parts of the globe and, as a result, “Muslim grievance” was a factor in virtually every conflict.
If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

Linked to from the daily politics in the Graun, a very very good thread on where we've been with negotiations so far...

John Lanchester has written a long article on Universal Basic Income which may be of interest.

Aargh, have to log in to see it.
Didn't they used to let you read a certain number of articles free per month?

Gove has apparently grovellingly "endorsed" BoJo, saying he would make a "great prime minister".

Was there a lunar eclipse tonight? Because while going from one place to drink booze to another it seemed to me like a dragon had eaten half of the moon.
It looked yellow and weird and half of it was missing.
