Fascinating, and as a Cambridge resident I will definitely go along.

But why does a perfectly intelligent article have to be spoiled by the summary of the article talking about "erased from history"?

If I had to advise a young person between a career as a drug-dealing peadophile, and a career as a headline writer I'd struggle to say which was more morally bankrupt.
