The media is awash with talk of a “fiscal hole” that needs to be filled with tax rises/spending cuts in next week's #AutumnStatement.

NEW: a column in the Times argues that the only way to tackle obesity is through fat shaming (yes, you read that right).
It’s an astonishing argument to make, and unsurprisingly it falls to pieces under scrutiny.
Let’s take a look, and see if we can do better:
If you look at the trajectory, this is the natural next step for the Conservatives. I*think* they will avoid it.

Angry drivers in Oxford vandalising traffic restrictions - cart-drivers, that is, 150 or so years ago.
(Jackson's Oxford Journal, 2 January 1869)
![Excerpt from digitised newspaper headed THE POSTS IN BRASENOSE LANE: 'A discussion took place as to the posts in Brasenose-lane, one of which had been destroyed, as was alleged, in a town and gown row. The RECTOR of EXETER [College] thought the Board should take measures to replace it. Ald[erman] RANDALL said a great nuisance was caused to the occupants of the adjoining colleges by carts being in the lane on market days, and the lane was so narrow that when carts passed one another, one of them went on the pavement. Referred to the Street Repairing Committee.'](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FXYyuilWAAA3LhL.jpg?name=orig)

Today we reached our minimum target of £280,575 which means, at the very least, we will become a community-owned cinema. But let's not stop there! We've currently sold 92% of shares towards our optimum target. Let's get to 100% before 1st July! uppcinema.com/owntheupp/ #OwnTheUPP
This is a nice clear article.
