Mail complaining in poor English about immigrants with poor English

The Daily Mail complaining that immigrants have not the English too well.

Boris Johnson has used his Daily Mail platform to slag off “Adolescence” and compare Starmer to Pol Pot.
This is a politician, a paper and a headline that sum up the debasement of our politics and the toxic level of ‘debate’ it encourages. Grotesque that he gets airtime to insult us all like this.

Good morning. A tricky one I thought. 😁

That wins the internet for me today!

The absolute callousness of announcing a 44% trade tariff against Myanmar this week, of all weeks.

This is absolutely hilarious.

Russell Brand shares fake redacted file claiming that Penelope Keith shot JFK.

Clearly didn't read it.

Mind you, it's no madder than some of the other theories.

Pass it on.

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Sorted. 😉😎

Packed state schools have no room for private pupils

Official government estimates suggest that the moves will lead to a drop-off in private school pupil numbers of 37,000. Given the increase in fees, 35,000 are expected to seek a space in the state sector instead. Ministers have stressed that nationally there is enough capacity to absorb any transfer in pupils, and that thousands of children every year move between the state and private system. Nationally, there are 578,000 unfilled places in primary schools and 465,000 unfilled places in secondary schools. Some 83 per cent of primary schools and 77 per cent of secondaries have at least one spare space. However, figures released

this Times headline is very misleading as the following pars - in the same article - explains

more fair to say “a handful of packed state schools have no room for private pupils says 2022/23 data”

Two-Tier Reporting: When Climate Protesters Slow Ambulances They’re Vilified, So Why Are Wealthy Farmers Given a Free Pass? Media outlets rush to condemn climate change campaigners as "middle class" protesters causing "chaos" while ignoring greater disruption by millionaire landowners

Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back?

Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine

In 1957 a 400ft hole was dug, to conduct a nuclear test, capped with a 5ft thick manhole cover.

The blast was 50,000x stronger than expected, launching the manhole cover at 13,000mph, 5x the speed required to leave earth's orbit.

It became (for the time) the fastest manmade object in space *

Hey! Get out there. I've just done the dog walk for an hour. 😂

The UK is alone among democratic sovereign states in having clerics vote on our laws – a hangover from 14th century medieval England. And it simply doesn’t reflect the country we are today.

Tim Stanley, in what now appears to be a weekly slot on one or other BBC flagship politics programme, reels off a huge amount of absolute, provable nonsense about immigration.

And he does so completely unchallenged. Enough now. ~AA

Elon Musk calls for ‘appropriate penalty’ against Alexander Vindman for ‘treason’ The world’s richest man, who is also closely intertwined with the incoming Trump administration, raised eyebrows on Wednesday when he accused one of his critics of treason

Just when you thought Elon Musk couldn’t sink any lower he takes to X to outrageously & ominously accuse the key witness in Trump’s first impeachment of treason while calling for him to “pay the appropriate penalty”
