Bad Bunny it is, then.

Fair enough - I just didn’t want to make assumptions about your parents.

Until the Spanish authorities start looking at criteria for allowing British citizens to stay, of course!

That’s probably their loss! Of course I don’t know them but going to another country and not exploring the culture and language is wasting a life opportunity.

In some ways I blame the journalist for not checking the numbers. We’ll all come out with unchecked stuff while chatting and it will be factually incorrect - should the press just amplify the incorrect assumption as if it were fact?

See also near-caricatures of people living in parts of Spain and demanding English shops selling English tea or whatever and voting for Brexit because Britain β€œwasn’t the same” any more. The version of the Uk in some expats’ heads (not all) is a foreign country to anyone who actually lives here.

Also a great marketing opportunity for Oatly which, forced to abandon β€œmilk” can try to make β€œOatly” to milk substitutes as β€œHoover” is to vacuum cleaners.

They probably need some sort of system in place. I can’t imagine someone would go to someone in prison for a crime like that for advice if there had been an alternative. Maybe I’m wrong because they were already friends but it smacks of desperation to me. I’m not defending it.

I once unplumbed a faulty shower and attempted to put the replacement in place. That was the point at which ai developed a newfound respect for plumbers and what they’d learned and called one in immediately.

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - β€œoverthrowing May right now” and in β€œLondon with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

He also says nobody understands what BB was saying. Here’s a thought: Trump is far from the first president not to speak Spanish when 13/14 per cent of his country is Spanish speaking. How about if he’s the last and his successors make the effort to learn it?

incredible, even when it's for his paramilitary fascist goon squad, trump still doesn't pay his bills

Office man’s clarity was actually pretty good, he just needs to relax a bit and try to sound less as if he’s reading a shopping list when he’s been dragged to IKEA without wanting to go.

Thanks for the correction. Did they promise it in their first year/18 months?

It’s not within their power to withdraw a peerage without an act of Parliament, though. Starmer has called for Mandelson to stand down - what else are you expecting him to do?

That’s the curse of being interested in what you write!

That headline is just wrong.

It’s β€œfewer” calories.

If they mean they don't mind or care I agree with you. If they mean "it won't make any difference to the votes he gets" then with regret I agree with them.

Seconds to make an impression Your spokesperson can throw a media interview with a first answer thats too long. Public Relations professionals spend a lot of time pitching stories to journalists.

My latest tip sheet: why you have seconds to make the right impression in a media interview, why now is the right time to invest in training and how to introduce someone on stage: www.linkedin.com/pulse/second... #mediatraining #publicrelations #mediamentorguy

Funny that, numerous figures over the centuries and millennia try to wipe an entire people out and they end up β€œsensitive”. Who knew.

Media tip: be relevant See what previous clients have said about attending my courses This is another plug for my "Pitch Perfect" courses happening in London on 8th December, two similar sessions half a day long in Chancery...

Relevance, poor soundbites and being too transactional - this week's tip roundups. #mediatraining #publicrelations #mediamentorguy www.linkedin.com/pulse/media-...

Member here and I don’t remember receiving the link to vote. That won’t have helped.

That’s a possibility but first the Corbyn/Sultana party will have to join forces with itself.
