Such is the interaction between British weather and British railways that I am facing the prospect of being unable to return home today. Are there any FOSS or Fediverse people I should get to know who might be around in the Cardiff/Bristol/Exeter areas, and could possibly meet me this evening or tomorrow morning? I'd like to salvage a nice introduction from a not-so-nice train journey if I can :)

In depressing news the complaint against #AlisonSheridan, #ConservativeParty councillor for #StLoyes #Exeter, has not been upheld. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y0lw54qzyo

Because apparently turning up at least twice to a protest to harangue and threaten women and children seeking asylum in their officially provided accommodation doesn't count as bullying.

In news unlikely to surprise anyone, Councillor Alison Sheridan continues to be an awful person.
