Heysel football disaster marked.

Amidst all the celebrations after Wednesday, we shouldn't forget.

Unfortunately, it seems almost everyone has.

I don’t know what the figures look like here, or where to look for them, but I think it’s probably true that everyone multitasks more than they used to, and some of us multitask virtually all our waking hours.

In short, we are all teenagers now.

Consider the irony, most corporations in the USA pay very little tax when they make a profit, using all sorts of legal moves to avoid doing so. However, if they make a loss, they are very happy to pass it on the taxpayer.

Traffic has been banned from travelling along Edinburgh's Princes Street. Councillors also say it will significantly improve local bus services to the capital's famous shopping strip, which runs below and alongside Edinburgh Castle.

Which is all very bizarre, because the side of Princes Street that suffers from congestion is the side that cars were already banned from driving down.

But hey, since when has the council let facts get in the way of a stupid decision??

Education in Britain cannot truly be considered affordable and in most respects lags behind some allegedly expensive countries such as the United States.

The cynic might point out that this is exaggerated by the weakness of the American dollar...

There's a good chunk of the middle class that, although certainly nice people, hard working, reliable and whatnot, are not particularly bright, creative, or too fond of original thought, nor taking risks.

This class I see being bled white over the next few decades, as their niches dry up like summer puddles.

It’s none of my business. The main parties are targeting the self-interest of median voters in marginal constituencies. But I’m neither a median voter nor in a marginal constituency. What’s more, no party is targeting the self-interest of single people in good health on above-average incomes. Worse still, they are not even bothering to tell us why our interests shouldn’t count.

I did vote. Well, I did spoil my ballot.
