Popjustice turned twenty years old in 2020, a bit­ter­sweet milestone as 2020 was also a year in which The General Circumstances Of A Global Pandemic meant the blog pretty much ground to a halt for most of the year. A shame really because I had some nice things planned. Mind you, didn’t we all? It’s been a tough one all round but on the Popjustice front at least I remembered to renew the domain name. Let’s see how 2021 pans out, shall we? PX
