Not sure if Farage has ever been to any schools in Clacton but I have - Coastal Academy - and found committed hard working staff and bright kids, including one, Annabelle, who gave me some great advice which is in my next book. Here they are giving their views on Brexit. NF doesn’t speak for them.
@arrivanortheast I followed that link last week when the exact same thing happened, it directs me to your phone number, took 40 minutes to get thru lst wk, was told that a shortage of drivers meant disruption to service. Well duh. Was late then, am late now. It cold out here you know...
@arrivanortheast disabled passengers + many others waiting outside empty 306 at Haymarket, 3 cancelled services in a row, no explanation, oh it's just been taken out of service. You put the fares up for this??
@nikkimarmery Yes, Lewis has form here - in The Last Battle Susan doesn't join everyone else in, essentially, heaven because she's commited the crime of becoming interested in make up and other adult things. He wasn't a feminist, I feel it's safe to say.
@nikkimarmery@Vdweller@RebeccaRideal V weird - was reading Lion Witch + Wardrobe to my daughter this very evening, came to the bit where Mr Beaver explains that the Witch is descended from Lilith. I'd missed this last time I read it, 40 years ago, and decided to investigate Lilith. Came on Twitter first, et voila!
I am simultaneously glad that Hitchens isn't here to see his friend brutalized and fighting for his life, and aghast that we don't have his essential voice railing against the viciousness and mendacity of fundamentalist theology.

Since we’re on Keir Starmer’s time at DPP & that pretty shocking Jimmy Savile smear, here’s a thing I did ages ago on Starmer’s record re sex offences https://t.co/SFT6xtzCnb
One prefers, of course, on all occasions to be stainless and above reproach, but, failing that, the next best thing is unquestionably to have got rid of the body.
