Firstly, apologies for the delay in posting, I've been oop north in Bradford at my cousin’s wedding. These days, 'Bradistan' as it's fondly (and not-so-fondly) known, has become a symbol of Britain's struggle with multiculturalism, race and identity politics. I, however, am more interested in family politics. Specifically, those pertaining to three generations of my family - grandparents, aunties, uncles, grandaunties, granduncles, first cousins, second cousins, cousins three-times removed etc, all rammed into two four-bed semis during the year's one freakishly cold and snowy week.
