This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

My nan recently had a hip operation, now whenever she makes me a sandwich she serves it on a roof tile with a side of rosemary fries in a miniature bucket.

Hey chums , don’t forget that tomorrow is a special day for a free speech warrior & surprise masturbator to join hands at Riyadh comedy festival (& Jack Whitehall will be there for some splashback) - & they’ll still be on your TV all the time because these values are more acceptable than socialism

And tere's not as many in charity shops either these days.
I know Humble Bundle did a job lot of them for Kobo ereaders recently - that might still be about.

Same. It's set mostly in an Ankh-Morpork opera house - and that's as far as I've got.

The witches are very good fun! Just getting started on Maskerade.
