Let's face it. They turn up expecting every entitlement. We give them free accommodation and subsidised food. Some even commit crimes while we fund them! They may pretend to integrate with us, but really they hate our culture and our laws.
Put these Tory ministers on a barge.
A welcome development. The DEIS programme, as it stands, allows the authorities, political and administrative, to claim that they are tackling ed disadvantage without, in any way, weakening the advantages enjoyed by the middle & upper classes. #edchatie#edshareie

Congratulations to Dr Ro Aiken on passing her PhD viva today. Ro, who has been a member of our School community for many years, was supervised by colleague @JudithHarford .
Right and proper that @PresidentIRL apologises for remark re an outstanding woman scholar-not worthy of him but then @PresidentIRL should never make throwaway remarks. He also was disparaging of all those who are giving of their time to the Forum-ill-judged and badly delivered
Simon Schama, "Brexit has driven labour costs up, which has contributed to inflation."
Samuel Kasumu, "We've left, we have to move on."
SS, "Moving on requires saying we've made the most colossal mistake."
SK, "How does that have value to what we do next?"
SS, "Democracy depends on the acceptance of truth."
Simon Schama(Historian) - Brexit is the hairy mastodon in the room
Samuel Kasumu(former Johnson adviser) - We've left, so we have to move on
Simon Schama - Moving on requires saying you've made the most colossal mistake... you actually tell yourself the truth..

"Water chief blames wild swimmers and canoeists for highlighting sewage scandal."
See, if only you'd all mind your own bloody business, stop swimming, canoeing, fishing and in fact being anywhere near a river none of this would have happened.
GOT THAT!

Could this be a cathartic moment for Brexit Britain? New post on my Brexit and Beyond Blog. Johnson & allies pretend his demise is the 'elite's revenge for Brexit'. That's nonsense, but could it mark a turning point in the hold Brexitism has had on the UK? https://t.co/93iVeRknHW
Joe Clarke, one of the hooded men, died today. He told me of the torture inflicted upon him in 1971. He was referred to by a number not his name. Every time he fell from the search position, he was beaten until he got up. He was forced to urinate & defecate in a boiler suit (1/3)
14. We can't complain that leaders lack seriousness, if we reward them for being "fun".
We can't be surprised at rule-breaking, when we tell our leaders that the rules don't apply.
We can't protest at government by fantasists, if we indulge their historical fantasies.
@FXMC1957 As well as my book on Oradour called Silent Village, I have just written four new blog posts which succinctly sum up what happened there. If you are interested they can be found here. https://t.co/ehV46q8B4B
School libraries have been a sacrificial lamb in the need to provide space for special classes. Know one school last year that was told to turn their school library into a special class. Library was integral to literacy strategy as public library a significant distance away.
As Brexit fails, attention turns to Labour. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. Brexit's last defenders are unconvincing, but what of Labour? Its Brexit tactics aren't for the squeamish but in substance its policy isn't what critics on either side think: https://t.co/b0uMh2a9FF
I'm a journalist with @DublinInquirer. We want to speak to tenants who were unable to file a dispute with the RTB because they didn't have the landlord's details or couldn't prove the landlord's address, or the
agent refused to give the RTB landlord's details.

616 days since the Taliban banned girls from going to school, and 132 days since they banned women from going to university.
The world has completely forgotten the women and girls of Afghanistan. It's the only country in the world that bans female education.
