Many smart people ask me variations of this: "Everyone know's coworking spaces (like coffeeshops) are rarely profitable - especially if you're not interested in scaling them up. Why do you bother with The Skiff?" I usually ramble. This 2 min answer is the best I have so far...

Yesterday, I was charged with breach of the Public Order Act for my objection in #Oxford in September to the proclamation of Charles Windsor as king (the police waited 3 months before charging me). I will be in court on 31st January to plead Not Guilty. #DefendDissent #NotMyKing
