You should only pass the PhD if you can explain it in one sentence and change the subject in your next sentence.

This is awful. I’d suggest contacting your MP. This is exactly the sort of thing they can help with.

He’s also a lying moron. Seriously there are probably few places safer at that time than the west end.

Entirely anecdotal guesswork. There’s a lot of old people who are older, sicker and more socially isolated because of this. They no longer go to church, they are too sick to go outside every day and walk a dog. Sainsbury’s delivery arrives each week and they read the daily express.

Mr. Frere gave invaluable help, both as Secretary of the Committee and by taking charge of the excavation of several of the sites.
