This morning an email about people prosecuted for urging juries to listen to their consciences.

It was a risk to elect the former Grand Inquisitor as Prime Minister. Yes, I know there was no "landslide". Simply a malfunctioning electoral system which delivered a lower turnout and a lower number of votes to the bloke who used to be Director of Public Prosecutions.
After cataract operations, even with my strongest glasses, paper books are still uncomfortable. So later with Project Gutenberg I'll check Dostoyevski's old story of The Grand Inquisitor.
Unless I've got it completely wrong, the Inquisitor very reasonably explained to the man who has come back and sits silently - why he isn't needed. The powers-that-be are working hard following his rules. (As we know too they are ably assisted by billionaire corporations and Tufton Bufton Think Tanks.)
Judging by some of the photos online we may suspect that even calm silent display of a blank white poster might be as much a step too far for the "landslide" as for the Cruellas.
