One thing I have in common with Adrian Chiles, and indeed Karl Marx, is that my handwriting is now and always has been almost illegible. I still use a range of electronic devices for written communications, thankful that the days of the typewriter and Tipp-Ex are in the past. However, there is such a thing as the tyranny of the screen, so I do now keep some handwritten notes as well. It’s satisfying to mark off things that I’ve done – if I can decipher what they were, of course.

There is a classic aspect of the Fletter in today’s Guardian (18th January 2025) which is the first of the year. Getting Adrian Chiles and Karl Marx in the same letter is not the most obvious link.
The other two letters in the section came from California and Canada, reflecting that in 2025 its the Global Guardian. As a socialist I’m an internationalist which is perhaps not quite the same thing
