I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes… At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh.. It was comfy, it was quiet In hindsight, too good to last…

A tax on 3D printed boilers. I've scrapped it. A ban on the breeding of owls for meat. I've scrapped it. Proposals to force everyone to paint their cars green. I've scrapped that too.

It's 45 years since the best ever account of an attempted crime. From the Edinburgh Evening News, 18 August 1978.
