Does this nasty, performative item have an A-Level in English, anyone know? It's a good bet many of the UK's most successful immigrants learned English after they arrived, on the job. #UKED

The form asks for a Twitter (X) handle, (why anyone in education would still be on there raises questions), but no Bluesky etc?

Why does this tax exile 'foreigner' think our government should discuss policy with him? He should feck off back to Monaco. Made his choice based on his own interest, to avoid tax. Anything he has to say will be only in his own interests, again.

The design of the #lufc bottle opener is clearly based on an old bloke singing Marching On Together.

Better late to the party than never. Light my Fire is still one of the best ever mixes of baroque, pop and jazz going.

No problem with parking apps/paying for parking - except our council adds an extra 10p admin fee for using it. IMO opinion if they have contracted a company to manage, they should take the parkco hit. Paying preferences 1. Contactless/card 2. Card (insert) 3. App 4. Cash (hate)

And with that, we will bid you goodnight!
