Very good journalism. I very much liked reading your piece. Imho the best journalism carries a narrative and brings in the reader. You did this and your work in Hampstead was always great. Great journos walk a tight rope a line between fact, speculation, omission and sensationalism. Your piece does this. You carefully created the narrative this way. It’s a clever rant, I like the obvious omissions too.

Thank you.

What do you mean by obvious omissions, out of interest?

I don't think I've commented before, but just wanted to say that whilst I don't agree with you on all these issues politically, I can't fault your very succinct, honest and detailed post. Sorry you don't have anyone to vote for, that's a terrible place to be politically and you aren't alone.

Thanks rich for commenting. I’m from a generation where we could agree to disagree.

I’m still hoping for change.

You're welcome, I'm younger (but couldn't care less about age) bit yes everyone should be able to disagree. If everyone thought the same we'd be machines. But yeah, that's why I bloody hate social media these days!

This is beyond brilliant! Well argued & completely on the money from my perspective. Huge kudos to you for interacting with the system the way you have. If your cooking is half as good as your political analysis it will be in another sphere of amazing. Keep going!

Not sure what prompted this email, but a rant list from a Brexit voting nerf is NOT what I signed up for. <unsubscribes>
