Clearly things have moved on in Suffolk since PF's day. The novel is bitter about the inhabitants.

Well there are fewer inhabitants now, with so many second homes....

Amazed too. Utterly ridiculous.

Yet according to the very same website it's the subject 'everybody is talking about'. During the course of yesterday I met quite a few people and not a single one raised the matter even in the course of being bombarded about it all day in the press and media. That was certainly a lot more encouraging.

Sadly it seems President Trump has a point about the BBC and the promotion of Fake News and he should know, that's for sure ...

No ... national suicide successfully presented by some to a provenly gullible electorate as 'an exciting opportunity for the country' is extremely depressing.

As for important news Al Jazeera is the place to go for more discerning TV viewers these days. It provides objective reports about major events from all over the world and is streets ahead of BBCNews24, imho.
