Motability should provide a grant that you can put towards any damn car you like that meets your needs. Which is exactly what it currently does.

I actually think it's bad that the law thinks that calling a 17 year old a "sissy porn-watching scumbag", a "groomer" and a "disgusting incel" in public is not a crime, and indeed I do not think criticising this would constitute "[picking] sides in the debate about sex and gender identity".

Not seen him in theatre. On TV he plays pretty much the same character in whatever I’ve seen

It's completely crazy. UK academia is already at the edge, this is probably the last push to make the entire system collapse. And then British students will be studying where exactly?
