If you want to come back, just email Kier Starmer. Iโ€™m sure King Charles will be OK with it. Youโ€™d have to give up the guns though. Sorry about that.

Is it Sam Freed from Law& Order and The Wire? He might be a bit too old though (he was born in 1948). His IMDB pic looks similar, but older.

Hi all. On the 20th March Today podcast, they talked about a project in Rochdale where boys were effectively getting rewarded for not being idiots, and girls had to work harder for rewards. They changed focus, and reduced the issues. Anyone have more information about this? Thanks.

Isnโ€™t that a bit like delivery companies complaining that needing drivers to have driving licences makes recruitment harder?

Careless People - a story of Facebook by Sarah Wynn-Williams

Reading Careless People. Sarah left the UN to be Facebookโ€™s first Global Public Policy Director (they didnโ€™t have one, didnโ€™t particularly want one, but she thought they needed one). Itโ€™s a really good read, but I can see Mark Zuckerberg might not like it - he doesnโ€™t come over wellโ€ฆ๐Ÿ™‚
