Black Friday is a scam
It's #BlackFriday 🎉🎉
But
Beware.... 'Which' the consumer experts found in a study that over 80% of black Friday deals were the same price or actually cheaper all year round. Mostly it is a scam. The best way to save money is to ignore it! 😀

Some quick pointers for the government
🚨Asylum seekers are not, by any measure, "illegal migrants"
🚨The latest immigration stats have pretty much nothing to do with this government
🚨It's a genuinely weird flex to boast about making the country you govern less attractive

Debunked: Enoch Burke was jailed again, but NOT for 'refusing to endorse transgender ideology'
Misleading claims about the arrest were shared in Spanish, French, and Polish, as well as by UK and US figures.

Notice "Police said three men, aged between 52 and 68, have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter – each are from a construction firm." The fire was yesterday, they've already taken action & charged those who were responsible at the top.
We're still awaiting charges to be brought for Grenfell!

I read posts like this, & I know difference of education system, but we hear similar in Scotland. That said, it doesn't reflect my classes of the last few years whether they have issues with technical reading, still love books & their content. I do think my unrestrained pleasure in reading helps! 😆
It's interesting to consider the question about why the number of young people reading for pleasure has collapsed and the responses from education to it. I understand the urge to blame screens and other things outside our control but is there also something about our pedagogy and messaging? 1/2
