[NetBehaviour] MoRe on A Visit from the Thought Police

[Mark Hancock]

Signed. As ever, thank you for raising this and raising my awareness. I
feel I live in a bubble sometimes where these things are an abstract
’other’ filtered through art’s lens. It’s important to be reminded where
the reality sits and that it’s there, edging towards us, along the bench
we’re placidly sitting on, distracted by the latest shiny thing.
