15 minutes; no questions; government got the blame; my department to have 60% of us sacked. Apparently sacking us will lead to a ‘new, improved’ curriculum. No voluntary scheme, straight to selection and legal minimum redundancy payment.
“People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilisation. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial…they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.”
Kenneth Clark, ‘Civilisation’.
Not enough people are talking about this.
Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.
Who measured the distance?
Surprised they can spare one to stooge around the Baltic.
Are you sure they don't do this showing of a party's colours and emblem?
Asking before I get outraged.
Isn't it easier to simply state a UK PM has never resigned after local elections?
Which previous PM resigned after council elections?
The voices?
No sign of my spuds. I put first earlies in mid March.
The Free Speech Union is a Toby Young vehicle.
They should report his words verbatim.
I wish! If only I could afford a rock.
Have you got one?
My thoughts instantly turned to Merlin too! How odd.
Craig from BB1? I recall how he confronted Nasty Nick in the manner of how he thought a lawyer might do it.
I thought Margot Robbie had somehow got involved then... which would make this story 11% more compelling.
Which still isn't enough.
Maybe they set phasers to stun?
You see what I've done? I've interjected into something I know little of and fans of it aren't happy. I don't blame you! There's things I love, that are underappreciated by many, and if someone had a go at them I'd be displeased.
Also, I am partly joking.
George R R Martin? Didn't he invent Rolls Royce or something?
What is Game of Thrones? Another game?
A book isn't a game.... unless it's one of those Steve Jackson books from the 80s.
The RW media probably hated her fullstop.
I'd expect nothing else from a cat, tbh.
Larry's Labour too.
Is it closed or close season? Suddenly I'm not sure which.
Who are "they"? Are Man City buying him in the close season? They're linked with everyone else.
I think he mightn't have known, yet we all know what Mandelson is, that's why he was chosen.
That he was still on friendly terms with Epstein... who knew?
Whoa! Susanna Reid no less! The PM must be packing up his cardboard boxes as I type.
I imagine the pubs political commentators frequent to be heaving with pundits discussing what Starmer knew... and nowhere else in the country care one iota.
Except the opposition, of course.
Lying is a strong word - couldn't you employ fib?
Yes, she'll be gone soon. A good resignation is when they leave before too many clamour for you to go. That way you can come back sooner.
She'll be missed for comedy value alone. That, and getting everything wrong.
The interior of my car is full of soil, stones and seed... seedlings soon too.
