No. The tutor was furious. We rebelled, refusing to discuss or write about it.

I read the Dubliners and The Dead. Ulysses was forced reading for a short course which I was doing for pleasure…

So did I.

I refuse to believe anyone has actually read Ulysses! #TheArchers

Coffin?! I daren’t look again. 😱

I agree with Neil about George’s manipulation & I agree with Susan about George having to deal with villagers.
And in the end, after so much effort, George will go to work with Amberrrrr. #TheArchers

Perhaps Susan should have suggested it would help George’s cause if he made peace with Neil. #TheArchers

I’ve found them cold even on day trips. #TheArchers

Always. #TheArchers

Hmmm…#TheArchers

No. They are alright for a day visit. I know that I’d be cold. I bet the Central heating will be dodgy. #TheArchers

😅 No way Jòse. #TheArchers

Not listening because I can’t stand news programmes anymore.

The Empire created Britain’s wealth.

Yet I can’t remember it ever being mentioned in history at school.

It means many people have no idea why they see the mix of people they the do around them.

Ignorance of history plays into the hands of fhe far-right.

Looking up death statistics (always fun and surprising) half of the 21,000 or so accidental UK deaths are falls, poisonings claim a quarter, far more than road accidents (7%) Knife/sharp object deaths account for around 260, guns 29.
Less than 600 homicides per year seems remarkable for 70m people.

I know this won't surprise anyone here but Musk's reprogrammed artificial intelligence is spreading misinformation about yesterday's attack on a train

The policy being weaponized to inflict pain on the marginalized is intended to keep retailers from charging SNAP customers more than they charge non-SNAP customers.

ReformUK are relying on people remaining ignorant & resentful towards ppl on benefits.
There's plenty of that going on.
Here's some info for you ...
