The Dig, a beautiful homage to Suffolk and Archaeology ruined by a silly subplot.
In 2019 I walked into the Quay Theatre where I volunteer. I met a friend called Charlie Haylock and as per usual we got yacking. There followed a lecture and discussion on the English language and its roots in Anglo Saxon culture. Then something extraordinary happened.

Understanding the Green New Deal
The Green New Deal offers a way to help resolve the Climate Emergency. But it needs to be tried by a major economy before others will see the sense in it. Here is how it works.

Has Brittany Kaiser just sunk Brexit?
Brittany Kaiser is the main principal in the Netflix Documentary "The Great Hack" about Cambridge Analytica. The influence of Cambridge Analytica on the EU Referendum via the use of datasets to target persuadable voters may be illegal

Thanks for joining Campfire Convention. Have a look at the Bugle for a flavour of the discussions. I will point out other like minded bodies on here. I have just reached peak tiredness after working at the Little Chill festival (a fundraiser for Campfire) it's just catching up with me.

Why do the Media bang on about Cyclists breaking the law?
Every year 1700 people die on our roads, of these just 1-2 are in collisions that can be attributed to Cyclists. Yet our media is obsessed by, in their view illegal behaviour by Cyclists, red light jumping, pavement riding etc. Peter Walker, author of the awesome book "Bike Nation" has made a film looking at this subject

Defending Democracy?
We hear all politicians claiming to protect the democratic votes of those who voted in the 2016 Referendum. But really that is all bollocks. People voted and did not vote for all sorts of reasons.

Briefing a Green Councillor this morning on the problem with on road cycle lane lines being worn away and not replaced. One view is don't replace them, they're crap, encourage close passing and increase cyclist/driver conflict when wise cyclists don't use them.

Degoogling Campfire Convention
Pre-dating Mat Dakin's project to de-google his online presence, I am working to make the new upcoming version of Campfire Convention limited entirely to Google knowing we exist and able to index publicly available posts.

Starting test migrations for this site. Aim to use power of Open Social while retaining the best of what people post here. Some of this may be quite challenging though.
