Diplomacy
There is a board game called Diplomacy which I remember as having taken many days to play when I was a student. It was very enjoyable, but often rather cruel and deceitful. Either the other players were eliminated or you were. I suppose that is true of most board games, but it took so long and was so tortured that the stakes seemed terribly high. Like a Test Match really.
I only say all this because the MLA seem to be playing a game of closing things down. Here is the final report on Children's library usage by LISU, never to be seen again. I suppose children's library usage must either be ok or so bad that we are not to be told about it any more.
I confess I also caused a terrible fuss today, because I attempted to close down the MLA by sending a message recommending such action to the Queen and everybody else. My attempt was undiplomatic and hasn't worked ...yet.

That was a silly thing to do.
