IAN SINCLAIR draws attention to the powerful role that literature plays in foreseeing the way humanity will deal with climate crisis
Attila the Stockbroker diary: May 2, 2024
ATTILA reports on a valiant attempt at removing the ghastly Tory majority on Adur Council, which “has festered there for decades like a pair of mouldy underpants” and on a more cheerful note he salutes The Men they Couldn’t Hang on their 40 years in the business of resistance

UNFORTUNATELY the result probably won’t be in until after we go to press, but I’d describe the mood as “quietly confident” — not just of her winning her seat again but of us finally removing the ghastly Tory majority on Adur Council which has festered there for decades like a pair of mouldy underpants.
We’ll see — I’ll send the news through when we have it, and maybe it can be squeezed onto the end of this week’s column. The Tories’ voter-ID trick really is disgusting, especially the bit which says that OAP bus passes and Oyster cards are valid but student ones aren’t.
Naked voter suppression in action.
