A lot to like about that First Test between India and England, enjoyed it immensely. Twists and turns, outstanding individual performances from Pope and Hartley and an unexpected victory for England in the final over of the fourth day ๐Ÿ

Linkblog ๐Ÿ”—: Colin Ward: Everyday Anarchy - a Community crowdfunding project in Norwich by Patrick Bernard

An audio documentary to celebrate the life and work of the British anarchist Colin Ward and to mark the centenary of his birth in 2024.

This is a unique opportunity to tell the story of a rich and overlooked tradition in British thought โ€“ and a radical alternative to mainstream politics โ€“ which found its greatest advocate in the figure of Colin Ward.
