And another odd thing was I couldn’t eat anything and really struggled to drink for 24 hours but then got my appetite back.

Was ill last week. For 24 hours had a migraine like headache and felt dreadful. Runny nose, sore throat and a cough but passed surprisingly quickly. Not really like anything I’d suffered before.

À guy I know got a first from Cambridge in Physics, got a scholarship to do a PhD at MIT in economics and got a job in finance earning shitloads. Hated it. He went back to Cambridge, did a PhD in archeology and now supervises archaeology holidays and loves it.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. From “Come on young people, vote for me, I’ll abolish your student fees if I’m in government.“ To “I’m now deputy PM and I’m raising your tuition fees from £3k to £9k and the young people that voted for me can fuck off.”

I think my old MP may be responsible for that.

To be fair, the Tory party can choose how it wants to spend its money. It’s money it receives from donors and not the tax payers that pays for Tory party publicity material.
