@edwest @jhallwood Banned for life and 10 years behind bars at the least..what a ludicrous sentence.

[Whatfroth @Whatfroth]

@AnthonyTeasdale @rorysutherland He read English Literature at Cambridge. That makes him slightly different to the PPE drones. However, he was also a member of the Communist party - so I automatically don't trust him

@post_liberal Yet to play anyone decent, but agree..potential classic kit too.

@cultfree54 His reaction to the first atrocity on his watch will be crucial. Starmer was defined by his robot-like reaction to Southport

@_paullay @jfwduffield It's probably because he calls himself Andy and not Andrew

@ross_baglin @bphillipsonMP Imagine a Govt where you have to wheel out Bridget to encourage people to vote.

@MHegartyPiano @ross_baglin My students leave school knowing Ozymandias and Charge of the Light Brigade off by heart. I demand it of them. I realise that this is not replicated across schools, but Gove's reforms did at least try to pierce the darkness, particularly in Literature

[La Sagrada Família @sagradafamilia]

We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.

@Madz_Grant Using cartoon style graphics like this makes my blood boil. You can imagine some green haired loon with no idea about anything happily drawing this on their computer

I'm reading Engels' Condition of the Working Class in England, and it's remarkable how socially conservative he is.
- He thinks Irish immigration to English industrial towns drives down wages and degrades the economic and moral condition of the native workers
- He is concerned about how factory work inverts traditional gender roles, in that there are more jobs available for women and children than men
- He identifies how women working in factories leads to neglect of their children
- He identifies how young men and women working together in factories leads to sexual immorality
- He notes how English factory workers are almost entirely irreligious and never go to church.

It made me think that you could conceptualise socialism as it existed up until the 1970s or so as basically a socially conservative movement to preserve traditional family life in the face of capitalism. E.g. the demand for a male 'family wage' that a husband could support a whole family on.

@DavidDidau @SaysMiss How would you prep a Lang curriculum that isnt just exam prep?

[Whatfroth @Whatfroth]

@post_liberal Teaching very similar. Theory means nothing next to thousands of hours of being able to read subtle signs and experiencing masses of different outcomes. Same for all jobs that deal with human behaviour I suspect.

@BarbaraRich_law @CptHastings1916 The term egregious was surely crafted for people like him..

[Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah]

Why do apparently intelligent people still praise Blair, who, while not starting stupid wars, breaking up the country, wrecking th constitution and politicisng the judiciary, savagely taxed the striving classes, deepened our debt and scrapped much of the Navy? https://t.co/MBV3HMtuEX via @DailyMail

@vicgoddard @olicav I would like to see alumni boards celebrating people's livelihoods in school, not just going to university. The issue is that the telos of school is predicated solely on academic achievement.

@OldRoberts953 A veritable tadpole of a man

@wylfcen Any Englishman who doesn't flinch at the mention of 1066 is not an Englishman.

@skulthorp @TheCriticMag Great piece Fred. I am staggered that anyone with a soupcon of intellect, culture or gravitas would want to live in such a moribund pit of glass, steel and anonymity.

@Danjsalt @francessmith The worst thing about it will be the inordinate length of time it will take. At least the Tories were quick in stabbing each other in the back. We will have bureaucratic shambles instead.
