Here we go, lads. Here we bloody go. After three and a half years of terror, torture and tragedy, we are finally in the Endgame. Brexit, one way or another, will be sorted on the 13th of December, 2019. …Except … Continue reading ELECSHUN? ELECSOON! : What Happens Now? (Part Two)
A disclaimer: this is not a full blog. Why is this, I hear you cry?! Surely so much has happened that we simply must be brought up to speed, damn you Between the Lines! Well, shut up. I’m going to … Continue reading ELECSHUN : What Happens Now?! (Part One)
OH GOD IT JUST DOESN’T END. Nope. Nope nope nope. Even I am so done with this now, and I write about Brexit for a living. Don’t get me wrong, this week has been, yet again, utterly bizarre and totally … Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up : *distant screaming*
