Fuck me, you can FEEL the full-on spiteful joy with which they typed this headline
Daily Mail frontpage, headline “HE WAS AN ISLAMIC TERRORIST” (“WAS” in red letters). At the top, a quote from Richard fucking Littlejohn, who must by now be little more than an angrily pulsating fatberg belching out far-right buzzwords, “From woke police chiefs to Left-wing politicians, the list of the killer's enablers is legion. They should have blood on their consciences”

What a terrible loss to the profession 🙄 #EduSky #UKEd
Photo of a smarmy centre-parting haired pillock above the text: Warwickshire County Council leader George Finch, 19, has hit out at what he believes is "ageist" criticism Simon Gilbert BBC Political Reporter, Coventry and Warwickshire George Finch had planned to be at university studying to become a history teacher. Instead, at the age of 19, he has become the youngest council leader in the UK, running Warwickshire County Council with a budget of £2bn. But leading a £2bn organisation is not a typical job for a 19-year-old, and Finch admitted he had had other plans. "I wanted to be a history teacher. I loved history and I loved teaching but the problem was the curriculum, especially history. Universities and colleges are a conveyor belt for socialist wokeism." Finch said he had been inspired by Reform and former Conservative MP Lee Anderson, who has previously criticised educational establishments for what he perceives as teachers pushing "dog whistle divisive politics" on pupils. In his time as interim leader, Finch said he had used his new "influence" over education by calling Anjit Samra, CEO of Stowe Valley Multi-Academy Trust, to his office after a row over a union jack dress at Bilton School, in Rugby. "I don't have the power to tell him what to do as he's an academy, but I do have that influence. "I asked him simple, I said 'I would like to see, and I think it's in your best interests, if you have a school assembly on the importance of British culture'."

Tell me you’ve never been a teacher in July without telling me you’ve never been a teacher in July
Guardian headline with photo of the writer Opinion France's eight weeks of summer holidays, or England's six? I've done both and know which one I prefer Gillian Harvey Despite moaning that their French friends are already sunning themselves, my children have had fun during those "extra" two weeks at school. Lessons have been wound down and learning tied up. School plays have been performed, awards dished out, sports days (something they didn't experience in France) enjoyed. Classes have met their new teachers for September, and new schools have been visited. There's a sense of growing anticipation of the break ahead when teachers and pupils relax and (dare I say) enjoy each other's company. It's true that, in my experience, not a huge amount of learning occurs during this time. But that doesn't mean there isn't value in spending another fortnight in the classroom. Highlighted text: “teachers and pupils relax and (dare I say) enjoy each other's company.”

Amazing
A photo of Reform councillors, 18 year old Charles Pugsley and 22 year old Joseph Boam in suits and light blue ties. Pugsley looks like a posh bellend and Boam looks like an arrogant bellend. Below the photo is the Guardian headline: Reform UK puts teenagers in charge of vital public services Concerns raised about council appointments, including 19-year-old overseeing children and family services "Some say I'm young. I say that's exactly what this role needs. I understand the challenges young people face today because I've been there. Now I'm making sure young voices are heard," Pugsley tweeted. But this was questioned. Naomi Bottomley, a Green councillor, said: "I know that Charles Pugsley has alluded to the idea that he knows more about what children need because he is young. But he also went to a private school and is a landlord, so I'm not sure he has quite the same experience as many vulnerable young people."

The BBC are doing live text updates of the oasis gig and it’s hilariously boring.

“…as Oasis play on the stage in front of them” is actually something somebody is being paid to type
The shittest concert photo you have ever seen of the Gallagher brothers and someone else playing guitar between them “More pictures as Oasis take to the stage The crowd is rocking in Cardiff's Principality Stadium. People can be seen holding their hands in the air - some sitting on others' shoulders - as Oasis play on the stage in front of them.”
