INDEX	June 4, 2023
During the lock down I decided to learn a language. I picked French, mostly because I'd done some classes in school. I have been doing a lesson more or less every day, mostly with a language app called Duolingo. As a result I have notched up an impressive total of continuous views (or lessons). I am powerfully motivated to retain that total (and even get nagged by Duolingo if it looks like I am going to have a day without a lesson). The spooks (Britain's secret police) admit they harass people without any judicial process. They do it not because it is giving you the taxpayer value for money. They do it because they can get away with it. If you watch a James Bond movie you may believe that the secret police (that's what Bond is) dash about in fast cars, drinking in plush bars with even plusher women. Some of the spooks may do that but not most of them. Mostly they are involved in mundane tasks like harassing innocent members of the public who have committed no crimes at all.
