@RCArmitage End of the chapter when Max says goodbye to Brandon and Charlie as they leave to go skiing. From the sentence don’t get too busy worrying about the past. It’s full of regret, sadness and love even though they are apart.
Well done @Channel4 for this damning exposé of the filthy water scandal - presided over by successive governments.
Privatisation with zero accountability doesn’t work.
Reposting this quote from @JeremyTate41 because it's worthy of repeating:
"Classical literature is not just harder content. It is liberation. It rips students out of the tiny prison of their own age, their own trends, their own slogans, their own shallow assumptions about what matters. It reminds them the world did not begin with them, and that their feelings are not the measure of truth. Shakespeare doesn’t teach “skills.” He reveals ambition, lust, betrayal, guilt, and the cost of sin. Homer teaches courage and honor. Augustine exposes the restless heart. Dante shows that loves can be ordered rightly or twisted into ruin. These books give students a map of the soul. The real enemy isn’t Crime and Punishment. The real enemy is a culture training kids to be bored by silence and incapable of deep thought.""
