20th March 2020: the day the schools closed. Shortly after, the country went into lockdown and 'normal' life changed for all of us. The day the schools closed felt so strange; I decided to write a poem to record my thoughts. After all, I'm an English teacher- we're supposed to write aren't we?! More poems followed which I shared on social media, with friends and family. People liked them, cried or laughed after reading them and told me that reading my poetry was helping them get through the tough days. I gained a small army of followers and I soon found that writing a daily poem became a bit of an addiction! 'Lockdown Lines' contains personal poetry about my husband, my daughter, my parents and friends. It contains poetry about life during lockdown, from daily walks to Thursday nights clapping for the NHS. It contains lines which show my appreciation for nature and lines about needing a hair cut. What started out as a one-off, became 100 poems by 26th June 2020 (the day I decided to put my pen down and stop writing). Lockdown Lines is a record of history. It was my way of coping, a kind of therapy. It's a record for my two year old daughter to read. A memory full of rainbows.

'[An] excellent history of UK dance culture' – Sunday Times From the illicit reggae blues dances and acid-rock free festivals of the 1970s, through the ecstasy-fuelled Second Summer of Love in 1988 to the increasingly corporate dance music culture of the post-Covid era, Party Lines is a groundbreaking new history of UK dance music from journalist and filmmaker Ed Gillett, exploring its pivotal role in the social, political and economic shifts on which modern Britain has been built. Taking in the Victorian moralism of the Thatcher years, the far-reaching restrictions of the Criminal Justice Act in 1994, and the resurgence of illegal raves during the Covid-19 pandemic, Party Lines charts an ongoing conflict, fought in basement clubs, abandoned warehouses and sunlit fields, between the revolutionary potential of communal sound and the reactionary impulses of the British establishment. Brought to life with stunning clarity and depth, this is social and cultural history at its most immersive, vital and shocking.

Simulating for a crisis is far more than creating a simulation of a crisis situation. In order for a simulation to be useful during a crisis, it should be created within the space of a few days to allow decision makers to use it as quickly as possible. Furthermore, during a crisis the aim is not to optimize just one factor, but to balance various, interdependent aspects of life. In the COVID-19 crisis, decisions had to be made concerning e.g. whether to close schools and restaurants, and the (economic) consequences of a 3 or 4-week lock-down had to be considered. As such, rather than one simulation focusing on a very limited aspect, a framework allowing the simulation of several different scenarios focusing on different aspects of the crisis was required. Moreover, the results of the simulations needed to be easily understandable and explainable: if a simulation indicates that closing schools has no effect, this can only be used if the decision makers can explain why this is the case. This book describes how a simulation framework was created for the COVID-19 crisis, and demonstrates how it was used to simulate a wide range of scenarios that were relevant for decision makers at the time. It also discusses the usefulness of the approach, and explains the decisions that had to be made along the way as well as the trade-offs. Lastly, the book examines the lessons learned and the directions for the further development of social simulation frameworks to make them better suited to crisis situations, and to foster a more resilient society.
