No run for a couple of days due to a badly timed head cold.
The British news is still full of reviews and predictions and, today, reports of that
ludicrous & outdated institution by which the UK government continues to award knighthoods and membership of the British empire* (no, it’s true) to people they
deem worthy (ref). Personally, I’d rather get a book token. One of the more incisive summaries of the past year seemed to
be that by Polly Toynbee, writing in the Guardian (ref), achieving an impressive Force
9 on the Anti-Cameron Scale.
*That’s the empire which, at its peak, screwed and subjugated one
fifth of the world's population, and now consists of a few rocky outcrops in the
southern hemisphere.
