@RoryStewartUK Prince Charming
Prince Charming
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome
We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.
@SeanJonesKC I think it’s simply a case of making Brexit as little of a thing as possible pre-election, because the Red Wall is still pretty Brexity and without Scotland they need them to win. No?
@campbellclaret@spectator Arguably if we’d a history of more diversity in our education system, then mediocrities like Neil might not have been elevated to a position so far above their talent.
@judyValerio1@MaryFabulous3@choo_ek And 60 yrs ago a married woman couldn’t open a bank account without her husband’s permission, thereby trapping her effectively in a marriage within which marital rape was legal (until 1991 fyi) as was beating your wife (until 1976) provided you didn’t wake the neighbours.
@Cloutbranding @paulmarkbailey I worked at both SAS and Smith and Milton, both maverick agencies, run by tricky characters, and both great and bloody difficult places to work. But full of creatives who just wanted to create the best work they could - whatever it took. And a huge camaraderie came with that.
@RussInCheshire I am appalled that in 2022 this venal bunch of inbred halfwits still have any role in a modern democracy, even (especially?) a symbolic one.
@welltory @5uzAFone I guess no market research done in the uk, where ‘Tory’ doesn’t make someone think ‘laboraTory’ but something much, much less intelligent, and ‘WellTory’ is something of an oxymoron. #namingfail
@MichaelRosenYes My mothers lot, however, did, so the Burroffs/Burovs/Boorofs/however-else-the-census-takers-tried-to-spell-it fled the Pale of Settlement for London’s East End around the same time as the brothers were marrying the sisters…
@MichaelRosenYes Other than that it was the easiest family tree to trace because no-one shifted more than about 5 miles in over 300 years. Not very adventurous, my lot. Also: lucky because they didn’t have to be.
@MichaelRosenYes Too long ago for photos. It was a couple of census records from the 1800s that I’ve got in the https://t.co/WGlU3LQaSP tree I did for my mum. The tree gets a little complex on account of a few brothers from one family marrying a few sisters from another… #suffolk
