As a footnote here to this excellent article, Greg is the Zoom Bombers thing which has happened and is still happening. I co run Speak Easy and we've kept a careful eye on it really and we've not had any problems yet but I know of another night which I won't name which has being Zoom Bombed that I won't name at least twice and it's upsetting to see that.

WOL Stockport which isn't mentioned here is still going strong as I do the I.T. for John for it (I'm using Zoom for Podcasting and Speak Easy so it's no extra cost) and that's being kept akin similar to what WOL Bolton does by Jeff on it's usual time and date we used to have when it was a live event.

It's being interesting times over the past few months as it's enabled me to meet and get to know poets from all over the UK and beyond and I know quite a few nights will be carrying on with both internet and live events when we are able.

However, which is sad I know quite a few nights have stopped altogether and while this doesn't apply to Stockport and Speak Easy, I am hearing from some poets that numbers have dropped in quite a few nights.

If we give happiness and joy
Much shall return back to us
Journey could be different
People could be different
God knows but we don't
What we give to others
God sends it back for us.

Thank you E.?

For the moment, I wonder just what is in those 2000 plus pages
and hold back on any judgement of the outcome, not least because
of the oh-so cosy timing of this "agreement". As for Remainers in
general, here's a personal viewpoint:
I wonder if you secretly yearn to know
The satisfaction of saying "I told you so". ?

Ah, if everyone in the world was given just one wish right now that would be sure to come true, I'll assume that someone or other on the planet would cover the topics of world peace, equality, freedom of opportunity, robust economy, everyone healthy and happy and all of those sort of things, so I would wish for a life-time supply of delicious calorie free chocolate (for everyone).

Santa eventually came to see me,
But got stuck in my chimney and was rushed to A&E.
He is now lying in ward eight,
The surgeon is ready to operate.
My chimney sweep I will never have back,
I've sent him a text and given him the sack.
