Miscellaneous
In this episode the team discuss Friday’s Johnson – Corbyn head-to-head debate, and then move on to the election campaign itself. Who has won? Who lost? How and why? Not stating preferences; just examining tactics and strategies. And then they break the Opinion Battlegrounds rules. They move on to the debate over the apostrophe, and the news that the Apostrophe Protection Society has admitted defeat in its battle to protect this endangered punctuation mark. Is the battle really over? On this occasion, the Chelgate team were unable to hide their personal feelings. Our wonderful introductory music is with kind permission of the London Symphony Orchestra. It’s from Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf’s Double Bass Concerto, originally written in E flat Major but performed here a semitone lower. Rinat Ibragimov, the LSO’s principal double bass of the London Symphony Orchestra, together with Catherine Edwards. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNYuRbsSJYw
