Why should we get used to saying something to” feel “ normal? Rather than realise that we’ve just made a mistake in how we describe and codify the grammatical rule. As so often, grammarians decided long ago that Latin is “correct” and English rules should follow suit. French doesn’t; so why English?
Is it?
Yes! 10/10! Though it's a hard sell to the unenlightened.

Why wouldn't it work? The single seat is reserved and unavailable for the duration that you then book the next seat(s).
Sultana’s comments are so offensive on so many levels. You can’t “both sides” Putin & Zelenskiy. You can’t speak over the voices of Ukrainian workers who are on the frontlines fighting for democracy & workers rights.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Corbyn stuff. I never wanted to have to re litigate it but since he’s back attempting leadership of sorts & replicating similar patterns of passive discrimination towards trans people, I wanted to vocalise the heart of what my issue with him is & why it still hurts

Interesting. Do you find any one more reliable than others?
TELLY!!!
Nor, to be fair, did Ludwig
TLDR: Britain’s cluelessness & denial on the threat from Russia continues. And on-Brexit messaging still trumps urgent national security concerns. Just as it did with the Tories. It’s not so much disappointing as genuinely scary. What will it actually take?

Sorry, I don't understand. Who lost what, in this context?
Now go back and read the timeline by @muellershewrote.bsky.social that started this thread. They didn't exactly hang about, and were held up at every turn by those with the power to delay.
