In defence of Shakespeare

My most important new year’s resolution was cast aside this week. I had vowed that in 2022 I would eschew writing about the infinite idiocies of the woke and concentrate instead on bringing to light important, worthy causes. In other words, it was a pledge to make the world a better place, instead of just moaning. Wednesday gave me an excellent opportunity to put this plan of mine into action, because it was ‘World Spay Day’.

A group of animal rights charities had come together to nominate this day in order to raise awareness about the many, many millions of cats in the world that need spaying. This is a serious and greatly under-estimated problem and I had resolved to hold an open seminar on Zoom showing how a simple spaying procedure could be done at home, using only ordinary garden secateurs, a B&Q staple gun and some black masking tape.
