@lincslass86@liverbird17 It is disruptive for the class, content doesn’t pause. I’m a governor at one of our mutual friend’s schools. A brilliantly run school btw but ask their view.
‘Catastrophic for creative industries’: Brexit barriers shut UK actors out of EU jobs
Casting shifts to EU talent as paperwork delays and visa limits make hiring British crews less viable

The generation that grew up with Freedom of Movement will not quietly accept having fewer opportunities than their parents had.
That pressure will keep building.
The Press owned by billionaires have been stoking fear and racial tension for years.
Now billionaire backed Farage is yet again inciting riots on our streets.
This has to end. We must stand united against the far-right.
PM Carney tells immigrants to leave behind the feuds of their homelands:
"We don't welcome the world's hatreds"
"When you come to Canada you bring your faith, your tradition, your language, your story - you leave behind your animosities"
One of the biggest changes since Brexit is that people now understand what Freedom of Movement actually meant.
Not abstractions.
Not slogans.
Real opportunities, real flexibility and real human connections.
I’m giving a talk in Waterloo tonight, and Violet (age 6) made me cool artwork of a rocket, with the two of us beside it. She shyly asked me what is the most important thing to study to become an astronaut. My answer? Learn how things work. Be forever curious, find out the answer, build a platform of knowledge under yourself. Thank you to Violet for autographing the picture! It will be on my fridge as soon as I get home.
Do any of my connections know anyone who works for X who may be able to help @dancowley1 get his account back having been hacked. Normal procedure clearly not working.
Three problems, Rob: it's not a mosque (it's a food bank with a small prayer room), it wasn't a consecrated church (it was an old school building), and it doesn't serve any faith exclusively. The one thing genuinely destroyed at the site was a digger torched by arsonists who'd swallowed the exact "it's becoming a mosque" myth you're reposting. The C of E condemned the attack. Maybe read past the headline next time.
Freedom of Movement was never just about holidays. It was the quiet reassurance that Europe was open to you. Family, work, study, love, opportunity, homes, friendships. Then suddenly there were clocks, limits, queues and permissions. Something fundamental changed.
This article says climate change is “believed to have played a role” in the UK's extreme heat this week.
As a climate scientist, let me fact-check that.
First, climate change is not a religion. No belief is required. It is about evidence.
And the evidence has been crystal clear for more than two decades: climate change is making heat waves hotter, longer, more frequent and more dangerous.
In fact, science has advanced far beyond saying climate change merely “played a role.” Today, we can quantify how much more likely and how much hotter climate change made a specific event.
Here's the bottom line:
Climate is changing. Humans are responsible. And we are experiencing the impacts now. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that solutions already exist, and the majority of people care - 89%, around the world!
But meaningful action depends on helping people understand not just what is happening: we need to know how it affects our lives (this heat wave being example A today) and what we can do about it.
That’s the opportunity this reporting missed.
