Re: UK politics
May I very respectfully suggest that any analysis of the situation that runs "there is only one X to blame" may serve a useful emotional purpose but is nevertheless not exactly the sort of reasonable analysis we rather desperately need to foster right now? edit: didn't see Ransos's before pressing ...

Re: UK politics

There is only one man to blame for the widespread contempt in which Corbyn is held. His name is Jeremy Corbyn. Do leave off. I'm very far from a card-carrying Corbynite, b...

Re: UK politics
He puts the very prevalent view from the last few days, that the election was there for Labour's taking, and any half-decent opposition would have walked it, and the failure to do so is evidence of just how bad Corbyn was. But I don't think that's the whole story, or even the main part of the story...

Re: UK politics
It's a condition of my employment that I don't publicly advocate for any political party, which is proving to be somewhat frustrating.
I can say that tactical voting is unlikely to be an issue in my constituency, given that it's been held continuously by Labour since 1935...

Should I happen upon a process for home-brewing ketamine, I'll be sure to let you know.

Re: Meanwhile...
Brexit planning is proceeding well chez Ransos: the beer and rhubarb gin are bottled; loganberry whisky is steeping; apple and grape wine is fermenting. See you on the other side. Hic.

Re: Beer
Life has got in the way of brewing this year, but I finally managed to make a batch of special bitter yesterday. Plenty of Challenger, Northdown and Golding hops, 7% crystal, Fuller's yeast, pitched this evening and it's already fermenting. Should take the edge off Christmas with the in-laws.
