I have a theory that while in former times people saw themselves as having spiritual (infinite) value, we increasing have replaced that with numerical (finite) metrics of worth. Income, weight, step counts, ratings, follower counts, friend counts. We turn our worth into currency.

I have to say, though I find Theresa May’s politics mostly repellant, full credit to her for being an ex-PM on the back benches. Not many have the grace and humility for that. And she’s being an excellent thorn in the side of the oleaginous gits in govt.

I wonder if you researched Isambard Kingdom Brunel before tweeting?
Brunel's father was a French engineer and migrant.
