Sorry all other music but I am currently listening to nothing but the new High Llamas album. It’s sublime. Sean O'Hagan

Destruction of a precious ancient bluebell woodland in the Kent countryside under a deluge of illegal landfill waste shows the utter failure of environmental law, complete inaction by the authorities & increasing lawlessness in the UK. Let me tell you the story of Hoads Wood 🧵

Idea for a show: people sell dubious heirlooms like Nazi daggers and items looted in imperial days. That's Cash In The Problematic, BBC1 7.30pm.
