On the 8th of August 1963, The Great Train Robbery took place, they stole £2.63m.

Son arrived on the ferry today. In queue for the new fingerprint/photo requirement. Woman (Brit) in front of him was all "Why do I have to do this?" in a very entitled tone of voice, apparently.

She was told to get on with it..

This is how Farage and Tice reacted at PMQs when someone raised the issue of one of their politicians accepting bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Apparently it’s funny to be a traitor.
