The Telegraph
A very old means of communication, not used much these days.
Also applies to the โNewspaperโ.
Unfortunately, I believe they know what theyโre doing.
But they hope their readers donโt.

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.
And house prices will increase by the amount stamp duty falls

Almost all out of touch with the modern world.
Just got a haircut, and my lovely barber, a Turkish guy who employs 6 people, and has a wife who's an IVF technician, is shutting up shop and moving to another country because his Indefinite Leave to Remain is under threat by these venal, stupid, posturing politicians, left and right.

Meanwhile, if you see a clip of me saying the ID card contract has gone to Tony Blairโs son: it hasnโt. That was something I was given to ask about on HIGNFY last night, but turns out to be a false report from the internet. Which is bad news for the fact checkers but good news for social mobility.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.
