John shared a proposal

about Delayed Trains at London Underground

Oyster users should be automatically refunded.

With CCTV everywhere, Congestion Charges and Oyster ahem, supertech, it could be easily done.

And why shouldn't it be easy?

Then I can look forward to learning all about it on Chanel 9 Neus:

about Respect at The Pension Service

It's all about this attitude, really, at the end of the day - see Jargon QR - isn't it?

about Respect at Women

I remember at the concert to honour James Brown, Aretha said he shouldn't do 'It's a man's world'. He did. So she did Respect and blew him off the stage.

Truly the Queen of Soul.

And *look* at that dress!

Don't think we could crown this with anything other than this, could we?

The Guardian's "Sir" Michael White prides himself on not 'conforming' by wearing a poppy in this piece:

"The pornography of grief – and the devalued poignancy of the poppy
We have such little experience of death nowadays that we have forgotten how to handle it"

My comment includes the observation that on average, every family in the land lost a man in the Great War.
