I am curious to discover how you can be racist in ‘a non hurtful way’ I await his answer…

I can also assure him that anyone bullied for whatever reason at school has a very clear memory of it, even if you forget doing it…

Re:Farage

If you were abused or bullied at school you remember it, Mr Farage, you remember it vividly.

bullies however, sometimes do forget the things they did that they would rather not remember…

With these measures Labour has joined the “dark forces … stirring up anger” over migration.

In 2014 I worked with a group of year 7’s making glass poppies to commemorate the outbreak of WW1.
I remember how shocked they were by the photos I showed them of
boys so like them, all in uniform, leaving for France. Some lied about their age to recruiters
one soldier in the trenches was just 12

I have never in my life slept in the afternoon before I started living here. Not every afternoon even now, but it has become a habit, that snooze after lunch (which is now at about 2.30pm) there’s a stillness that descends if you let it and the warm afternoon air covers you like a blanket…

Nigel Farage says he wants to 'raise aspiration' by cutting the minimum wage for young people (currently £10), but reducing tax for young people earning over £100k. Presumably he wants them to just ask their stockbroker fathers to fix them up with a job in The City, like he did.
