THREAD 1/11: Now here's a story. Back in the 90s, along with lots of teenagers in Cornwall, I started going to raves & listening to hardcore and drum & bass. Here's me and my mate Ollie after a long night (Helter Skelter, Milton Keynes, 97...). And yes that is a high viz jacket.

There were thousands of us at #COP26 working so hard that we scarcely had time to eat or sleep. But Boris Johnson fell asleep during the opening talks, then flew back to London in a private jet for dinner with climate denier. He is the Nero of our age.
