    I had a hell of a time parsing this one… Here is a better version:

    I just realised I had more of a reaction to the cancelling of Doctor Who than to the PM resigning.

      Honestly I understood it the first time I read it. How was it not clear?

        I first thought they were talking about cancelling a doctor visit. Add in how “that” was used instead of “than” and my brain couldn’t make sense of it. Capitalization would’ve made it much clearer.

    I dislike when people don’t proofread their writing for coherency prior to posting it

      I don’t know - twice in sixty three years is starting to set a worrying trend…

        6 times in 10 years is definitely more common.

        🟦

        It’s also not “cancelled” cancelled. It’s definitely on life support but they are looking for how to continue.

    Doctor Who is a signal of hope. Politicians are not.

    Elect by random, like Athens, won’t be worse.
