Dad just left to return to my Grandmother’s place in Harlesden after dropping me off here in Eltham. Suffice to say, the journey back too the capital was far easier than the train trip up to cheshire.  I’ve had a  lovely few days with my parents, and have two new franchises to get into: the Orville, Seth  MacFarlane’s comedic tribute to Star Trek, and Gavin And Stacey,  both of which my parents and I binge watched over christmas. Having got back to my computer, however, I can see from my Facebook feed that all the problems which were there before christmas haven’t gone away; in fact they’re worse than ever. The queen’s speech obviously did nothing to soothe the social divisions  opened up by Brexit; what concerns me is that, the way things are going, public discourse will hit an all time low in the new year. Of course we  should never stop resisting Brexit as vigorously as possible, yet with so much rage and hate about, you have to wonder where all  this is going.
