If anyone is going to this at the Southbank this week, just be aware that they take the kids off without the parents. Just behind a curtain, so not far. But a few kids are reluctant to go and parents are stressed. Thought it may help to be aware.


Kids sound like they're enjoying it - the ones who went. Parents may want to take coffee / a good book etc.

I just took my youngest and her friend. They were apparently told to tell their parents that it had been really boring and they hated it and keep it a secret what they did - because we wouldn't have enough imagination to appreciate what was so good about it. So it was actually quite hard to get an honest reaction as they totally took this to heart. But at the same time, there was a little murmer of 'it really was a bit boring' which I think was an honest comment. They didn't come out buzzing, as I would have expected from something they'd enjoyed. Impossible to tell though as the parents didn't see anything of what they did.


There are TONS of things going on around the RFH this week so I'm sure there will be other things that are good. It was totally heaving with kids today. If you do book online and need to pick up tickets, allow lots of time as at points there were big queues.

      Cyclist visibility

      Not really the point, though? I doubt cyclists who dress like this in the dark are or have been car drivers? Surely if they were they would be more aware of visibility issues? They are a real danger to themselves and others.

      One more cyclist one less driver.  Big picture.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      I don't think anyone here is claiming the Torygraph is the paragon of good reporting, or impartiality. I was referring to media organisations across the spectrum, and I opened it wide up, way beyond the BBC.  But, to your point, if you're making a programme about abortion, say, you're not going to interview the man/woman on the street with a moderate view, you're always going to go to the people at the extreme ends, that's the point of the exercise, right? And most people watching innately know what's objectively right and wrong, because mainly they're decent people who've had the privilege of growing up in a liberal, free-thinking, tolerant democracy.  There have always been despicable people, and there always will be. Things feel worse at the moment because of the immediacy of media, but maybe they aren't. One day, Trump will be a blip in history and everyone will be consumed with the next big problem. Probably a genocidal robot.
