   BBC R4 Afternoon Drama Watch #2 – LUSUS

   Most of the cast appear to be wimmin and one of them, the main character Noa (spelling?miscasting?), is a neurotic wimmin. Needless to say, she has a therapist. I switched off after about fifteen minutes. Think I would have needed a therapist had I continued listening!

   Bad news – the voters of De Bruce ward in Hartlepool are insane (looks like the underhand tactics of Labour against AMW worked a treat).

   As for Londonistan

   “I’m white working class. No one here represents my people ”

   This spoiled ballot paper from Westminster speaks for countless other British voters… #localelections pic.twitter.com/RrCwbeFNcr
