Don't they want people to leave the country and reduce net migration? It's all a bit confusing.

A lot aren't sure if they are racist either! Perhaps they aren't most of the time and only racist when they watch TV adverts?

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Why has a pumpkin crash-landed in our window? Great to be part of the Visit Altrincham Halloween trail... (starts at the Everyman Cinema).

I work opposite a a pub which often hosts the local Reform party - it flies the shabbiest apology for a Union Flag I've ever seen. I've actually been tempted to buy them a new one as that would be better for the area.

The bags thing is funny. I worked at a school where the head wanted this until the staff pointed out that kids would take ages to find their bags or take the wrong one from the bag piles that are a natural part of any school.

If you think students need to be punished for something, removing teaching time isn't the answer (unless they are actively disruptive or have done something heinous of course).

Saw this grow through my time as a teacher and never got a good answer as to why pulling kids from my lessons for minor reasons outside the classroom would in any way help them learn - and how expecting me to catch them up was a sensible use of my time. It's a bit of a cult.

We try really hard not to be pigeonholed as a 'camera shop' as we cover writing, audio & video as well. Here are some of our creative writing & scrapbooking products - excellent presents for creative people or a spur to start a creative project!

And we also offer two creative writing courses.

Our scanner and Macs are getting a lot of use today as we're documenting two lives, turning photos and newspaper clippings from the 1940s onwards into digital scans and eventually photobooks.

We're gradually growing our selection of Canon cameras and lenses so we can help all creatives! Finlay is modelling our new RF85mm F2 Macro lens - great for those who like close-up pictures either for fun (e.g. flowers, insects, models) or business (e.g. dentistry, opticians).

One of my neighbors put a rope spider web over the front of their house 2 weeks ago. Assume they like wriggling through the front door and don't need to use their garage.
