“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.

FACT CHECKERS
We can now confirm, the selfie purportedly taken and uploaded by a SAGE member to 10 Downing Street’s Instagram account is a FAKE. Sources at Downing Street suspect photo-manipulation by Russian hackers.
FALSE
Despite appearances, the image does not depict PM Johnson, Sir Keir Starmer, Chris Whitty, Sir Patrick Vallance or Matt Hancock huddled around an 1980 BBC microcomputer in a puppet workshop conspiring with Neil Ferguson from Imperial college.
TRUE
The featured books, the old school school ties and the classic Microsoft paperclip offering on-screen advice do seem somewhat true.
