Cameron has proved once again a shallow, ignorant jerk

First: Britain's long-term ambition to wreck the EU by bringing in Turkey will not happen. Second: to push it now, when the country is being corrupted and poisoned by the villainous, double-faced Islamist creep Erdogan and his execrable party (against which everyone I know who knows Turkey has been warning for years) is worse than stupid, it's criminal. Apologies to the shade of Prince de Talleyrand, but sometimes it is in that order!
P.S.: it has been announced that reforms will be presented to make Parliament work more. Just what we needed. (That was sarcasm, in case anyone was in doubt.)

Some of my worst style ever...

...just reared up and bit me now when I was having a look at my only completed multi-parter, A Crime to Outlive Him. There is some really fantastically bad prose there, and dialogue that's little better, and I should rewrite it. But where in God's name is the time?

Sherlock

I could become a fan of the new BBC Sherlock Holmes serial. And mind you, I am a lifelong Holmes fan who has demanding tastes in adaptations (I hate Jeremy Brett, for instance).
