In Falkland Sound, bringing back the years... to a 'Argy-bargy' bit

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 18, 2023
GEORGINA BROWN: Forty years after that unforgettable headline 'Gotcha! Brad Birch's latest play revisits the Falklands War, which is best known for its reconstruction of a financially struggling Mrs Thatcher's family. Birch was only six when his uncle, who was serving in the Navy, survived a sinking ship. The playwright went on the 8,000-mile journey to interview people in Port Stanley, the capital, with a close-knit population of 800 in 1982. It's no wonder that it seems like Ambridge. 'Gossip is a form of exercise,' says nice old Mrs H, who raises chickens and tomatoes.

Kite flying has officially ended, so prepare yourself ahead of the Budget's attempt to empty a £50 billion hole

Even if kite flying is just sorting out the public's mood for radical tax reforms, there is usually another parallel agenda at work. That is to put the budget into the public's mind, and then provide a series of tax-raising steps that are not quite as bad as people expected. Result? Both the way round has been aided. Well, maybe. This time, however, the kites may have wreaked havoc on our finances. The Budget on Thursday might be the horror tale we've been warned to expect.
