Turned back: returned home this morning before arriving at work. I had to abandon the cycle ride, the ice was threatening to turn the world on its side and wallop my head. That can’t happen in the car, so I drove.

Web censorship: no, we don’t live in a free country. The whole Wikipedia fiasco is important not because the IPSs censored an image, it’s because they censored a web-page. that doesn’t happen widely outside China and North Korea. It’s the debate, ideas and beliefs that are important, we can manage without the stupid album art picture. This is important, the band concerned are not in my opinion, they are macho, arrogant rubbish. An acceptable compromise would be to censor the image, ISPs can do that, but they didn’t in this instance. They have since withdrawn the block.
