This isnāt news. Itās Tory propaganda. Barely bats an eye when Zahawi heats his stables, Johnson freeloads his arse off or McVey takes Ā£18K freebies in 2months. Rayner pays for something expensive herself and The Times wants to shame her. What a nasty, snobby, shit-stirring rag.
Heartily sick of how almost deliberately ignorant commentary re the Chagos Islands decision has become. It's a function of the territorial integrity rule in self determination. It has no direct bearing on Falklands/Gibraltar. Nor can it be linked to Brexit. www.independent.co.uk/voices/chago...
Iām biased, but Burgess seems to have fared better than many of his vintage. Frequent reprints of his novels, and thriving critical scholarship.
You'd have to be an AI bot for that to happen.
I wouldn't disagree. The local papers decided not to report actual news some time ago. My local, the Manchester Evening News, has a formula: this thing happened on daytime TV; fans "took to Twitter" to express their outrage; here are lengthy quotes of said outrage, complete with spelling errors.
Absolutely! Sadly, this kind of stuff is the norm these days.
I see the arricle is by āReporterā: presumably Phil Space was too ashamed to add a byline to this obviously made up nonsense.
Is this Mr Gradgrindās academy?š
Yes, agreed. Last week of summer term is often all about games rather than study. But I still think if you said "kid has 95% attendance" most folk would think that's great. But if the 5% is a termtime holiday, somehow that becomes a major problem.
