Comrade, I too must toil. I have no servants to empty the bucket of water the AC produces. Not to mention the intolerable heat I must endure to carry it down the hall before I can return to my cool santuary.

Portable AC units just about let you escape the guillotine. If you have a cassette on the wall and a condenser outside then that's a different matter.

It's basically impossible to distinguish a two-point move from random noise when you only have two polls, but yeah, I'd have expected them to drop a bit. Fieldwork was done June 16th-17th, so two days after the fire.

I would very much like Gove to be made a foreign secret, it's bad for the country that they know about him. Domestic secret too. Nobody should know about Michael Gove.

Several pedestrians have been injured after being hit by a van in London.

Witnesses said the vehicle veered off the road into crowds outside Finsbury Park Mosque but it was unclear whether the collision was deliberate.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said officers were called at 12.20am.

"Officers are on the scene with other emergency services," he added. "There are a number of casualties being worked on at the scene. There has been one person arrested. Enquiries continue."

Seems like this is the kind of revenge attack the terrorists were hoping for. This dude was probably thinking in his head "let's see how they like it". Sadly this tit for tat stuff will only end in more angry people driven to violence.

Legislative response like

"We pray for the victims and for the violence to stop. But now's not the time for kneejerk legislation that will make us less safe"

Or legislative response like

"We are going to take away every gun and put every gun owner into a camp just like we did in after every other mass shooting which is totally a real thing we want to do and not a sustained paranoid delusion of gunowners."

Edit: Only one of those is the real response.

BBC is saying that there's no immediate indication it was a terror attack. I, too, often drive my rented van into crowds of people outside mosques at 1:30 in the morning, it's perfectly normal behaviour.
