Government Re-education Camp

Well, that’s me booked in for corrective treatment of my anti-social behaviour (viz. driving at 38mph in the 30mph section of the Portway by the Park and Ride). This is out of curiosity, really, as I’ve not been offered the option before - this was, IIRC, the sixth time I’ve been prosecuted for speeding in 32 years of driving - but will, barring further misadventure, mean my licence will be point-free in a couple of months time.

The “course” is in Shirehampton so, weather permitting, I’ll turn up on my bike. Which will enable me to get home unaided if they decide I’m a Bad Sort and tear up my licence anyhow...

well, that was a thing...

We, belatedly, watched V for Vendetta tonight. Deeply flawed, with some stunningly good parts, but what really struck me was how close UK(2007) is to the film; how much more so, even, than when the film was made.

Who stands to gain from a people living in fear?
