Well, I never considered myself to be especially ‘with it’, so I was rather thrilled to receive the screen shot below from a friend. Seems I am joining the likes of J.K. Rowling, Lawrence Fox, and Adele on the list of those who have been ‘cancelled’ in the bastard of a year that is 2020:

A look at the history of the other colonies would be helpful — North America / Canada / Australia / New Zealand
