Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-

It is a measure of the man that he can be ‘humiliated by nobodies’. “Farage attended a gathering of his supporters on the outskirts of Clacton. He told fans he would be damned if he was going to stand on a stage “be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies”.” www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

I'm going to have to start submitting papers with hand-drawn structures. The only affordable software is hopeless. Why can't I have subscripts in atom labels? Why can't I have Heq as an atom label?
