2 out of 3 of Farage's partners don't speak English as a first language, I guess the rules are different when you're getting laid.

My local MP had socialist tendencies and spoke out occasionally, now she's deputy speaker and the socialist ideas seem to have evaporated. By strange coincidence the constituency is now well up the list of "Reform seats at the next election".

Gratitude and joy for kids going hungry, contemptible grovelling even by the standards of Trump's sycophants.

We're planning on Scotland and Portugal as a roots trip and in the case of Scotland the Western Isles are also my roots. Becca's family are from the Serra da Estrela in Portugal where I have friends and by happy coincidence one of them is related to her. Talk about Degrees of Separation.

Supposedly $250 but AFAIK it's not actually been implemented. For visitors from "shithole countries" there's a pilot running for an additional visa bond of 5, 10 or $15,000 depending on how much Trump dislikes the country.

Everybody including the teachers suspected it was me but there was no evidence. I think the first week it was Stand on Zanzibar but if not it would almost certainly have been new wave sci-fi. Being a voracious reader I'd acquired a couple of book jackets for class texts to disguise my own books.

I'd been debating calling it off when they called me and suggested it. I'm not sure if they want to get away from it for a month or that knowing something of my history they figured that if anyone got detained and deported it would be me.

I built a radio jammer at school as the half hour inspirational radio broadcast we were subjected to once a week in home room annoyed me. After 5 minutes of squealing and howling noises they turned the radio feed off and we had 25 minutes to "read quietly". You never forget your first!
