Hallo

Today I start using Substack

I used to like Twitter but always felt very constrained by the 144 limit

This brought problems for the irony-challenged, who misunderstood a lot of what I was trying to say

This is a particular problem for me because I seem to be regarded as ‘on the left’ by people on the right, and' ‘on the right’ by people on the left

Apparently this makes me controversial, and therefore box office poison

I hope that now I am on Substack I can offer ideas of greater subtlety

to my ex-Twits, whom I shall refer to henceforth as ‘my followers’

So, dear reader please follow me (at a safe distance)
