I’m supposed to be posting on chess today but there’s more important matters to attend to. I’m on my way to London to help occupy the stock exchange. I’m sick of our pretend democracy when the reality is that all power is held by corporations who avoid/evade taxation. Now that parliament has voted to privatise the NHS, it has become personal. I’m going to help set the camp up. It’s difficult for me to stay more than a couple of nights due to some unavoidable personal issues. Please note, these do not include the audition ITV invited me to but I’ll probably make that anyway. I’ll be donating a tent to the cano and returning a couple of days later with more donations.

Some people have commented how nice it must be to not have a job and be able to carry on like this. These people are, of course, trolls. They troll twitter for amusement. How very sad. I feel sorry for them.

Time for the inevitable chess analogy. Damn! Just remembered that I’ve forgotten to bring my board. Very often in our culture you hear the expression, “we’re just pawns in a game of chess” whereas anyone who knows how to play properly understands that the pawns, collectively, are the most important piece. If a game is not lost through a silly blunder, pawn structure is very often the deciding factor. On a chess board the pawns only constitute 50% of the population. In life, we are the #99%.
