Almost exactly five years ago I wrote a rather angrier-titled piece about fuel protestors blockading refineries and depots. It’s about to happen again and it still angers me, though. I’m just waiting in the next few days to hear protestors telling the media that they’re not hitting essential services, but I still don’t understand how hospital workers, ambulance crews and paramedics are supposed to be able to get fuel for their own cars. I don’t know how people who have to use their cars to get their children to childcare or school are supposed to manage.

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. Stuck half way, but it's true, her eyes do change colour. Like David Bowie. Or a Blythe doll.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest by Stieg Larsson. Top tip: read the Nora Ephron parody instead and save time!
Doctor Who: Nightshade by Mark Gatiss - free on Stanza but prob shouldnae be.
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson. Okay, so Blomqvist shags the 1 woman he missed in book 1 - then it turns in to some sort of thriller or something.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I am the last person on my train to read this. Not the book I was expecting. Not a sophisticated multi-layered Wallander kind of thing. And, oh dear, is there any woman who won't drop her knickers for Blomqvist?

Looks like the protests at refinereries have been damp squibs so far. Rumour has it that two protestors turned up at Stanlow in Cheshire and were scared off by the press pack withing for them.
protesters scared off by the press? that’s funny!
