Commentary

Nearly 20 years ago I proposed a handy way to get rid of family and friends you didn’t like. It was a game called Robson’s Kith and Kin Kleanser that involved making New Year’s resolutions for other people, not yourself, in some variants anonymous, in others pointedly personal. And now, to get rid of politicians you don’t like, I propose making some New Year’s resolutions for them.
