The magnolia trees are coming into bloom at the moment, so this is a good time for my annual reminder that the petals are edible and taste strongly of ginger. I like to pick the buds before they unfurl and pickle them whole in rice vinegar.

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

We're back to Question 3 of Tony Benn's five questions to ask those in power about transparancy and accountability:

1) What power have you got?
2) Where did you get it?
3) *In whose interests do you exercise it?*
4) To whom are you accountable?
5) How do we get rid of you?

How the NHS became the battleground in the trans debate at work What's next for employers and their staff in the aftermath of the Darlington nurses ruling?

Entirely typical of the BBC's treatment of trans people that it presents Michael Foran, who is literally on the advisory Board of the Sex Matters hate group, as an independent expert.
