Starmer's vision quest

[winjim]

My father would have thought he had died and gone to Heaven if he had been made a toolmaker...the real crachach (aristocracy) of the factory floor.

Four Yorkshiremen was satire even in 1967.

Me daddy was a toolmaker
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to work in a factory

Four Yorkshiremen was satire even in 1967.

And Starmer using his dad to show his working class credentials doesn't show he had a tough upbringing at all.

How many tools could a toolmaker make if a toolmaker could make tools?

What does a toolmaker use to make tools anyway? Surely it's toolmakers all the way down.

Who was the prime tool-maker?

Who was the prime tool-maker?

Could be infinite, or maybe collapse into some sort of toolmaking singularity.

Or crows. It's probably crows.

What tools did he make, anyway? A stick picked up off the ground is a tool, but so's the large hadron collider.

If you say so, but just try fettling your bike with the latter.

It's just a fancy velodrome if you think about it.

Risk of collision, though.

Risk of collision, though.

The risk of collision is very low, for a beam with 10e11 protons (one hundred billion) they only get about 20 collisions per crossing

He had to make the tools he used to make the tools he made.

But first, he had to make the tools to make the tools to make the tools he made.

And before that, he had to make the tools to make the tools to make the tools etc.

I've seen some of Geoff Norcott's stuff and he's pretty good.
