Its ambition on what was clearly a limited budget is quite breath-taking. Not necessarily one of the best games, but definitely one of the most memorable experiences of that console generation.

I think election ballot papers should be blank, and you have to write down the name of the person (not the party) you want to vote for. If you can't remember it, you shouldn't be voting.

More than 400,000 people were denied a vote in the UK General Election because of the Tories’ voter suppression, mainly from ethnic minority groups. This needs to be tackled immediately.

People criticise Zip drives for their reliability but what they forget is that every alternative was (a) much more expensive, (b) slower, (c) even less reliable. I mean, a year before Zip came out we bought a Puma drive to ship files to our printer. £40 a cartridge (32mb I think) and awful.

Oh goody, my overseas UK postal voting pack arrived today. "We must get your postal vote by 10pm on Thursday 04 July 2024". Postmarked 1 July 2024. The only time I've had mail fast enough for that to be feasible between Australia and the UK was with FedEx Priority.

Long elections waste immense amounts of money. they harass potential voters into apathy. They play into the horse-race, scandal-fed view of politics that feeds deeply unserious media coverage. They NOT INCIDENTALLY make it difficult/impossible for campaigns to deal with last-minute surprises.

Since the American media is too busy with The Frenzy to cover the explosive legal filings in the Epstein/Trump case except on page A43, the UK press steps in:
All the Epstein posturing. And here we are. Every accusation they make is a confession. Projection.
