It might just be me, but might we step back from this "controversy" and ask why are Scouts Guides separated? It was originally for very regressive reasons - boys hobbies & interests v girls hobbies and interests.

Boris Johnson was designed by the Gods as a baddie in a Morality Play - a popular, rumbustious reinforcement of decency and ethics. The Gods overlooked the fact in the last (brief to them) few centuries, we had forgotten the format and its purpose. And who reads instructions?

If you were, one day, to consider rejoining international trade, you will need to respect the protected area of origin legislation - yours is perhaps "a sparkling neck slicer". Used for the protection of consumers of eg phones, cars and tractors, the device is the "Enshittification Kill Switch"

VC of a University that insisted the railway station be built out of town to keep out the chavs, demolished the warehouses on the backs and used unelected aldermen to oppose any industrial development lest it inflate the wages of the 'bedders'. Plenty in common with the aristos that run Reform!

I have visited the 'Cradle of Humanity' site in South Africa. If we're all to be sent back there shouldn't someone tell the South African government? That's a lot of portable toilets to organise, just for starters.

One way of limiting our enemies' ability to rake over perjurious conspiracies at inconvenient moments might have been not to do them, maybe? She will get the seat in the Lords and it will be for services to the Union.

"UK govts oppose public ownership" sounds a bit like a principle! I think the truth is they lack the imagination to challenge the bonkers way we, as a country, account for our finances - focussing exclusively on govt income and expenditure ignoring private debt, assets and so much more.
