Christ, this is fucking dystopian.
How about free art classes, language courses, music lessons, sport sessions, further education modules or anything other than this.
This is the antithesis of education it’s a campaign of national brain rot.

Dear @bsky.app . Nothing's 'up'. If I want to post I'll use the post button. Here in the UK 'what's up' means 'what's wrong' there's alot wrong, of course, but that's not how I necessarily want to frame my posts. Apart from that, keep doing the good job you are doing.

Coming up Thursday, or after, on BBC iplayer! Such a joyful ramble, if slower than I’d have managed before. To introduce Clare Balding to the marvelous Julia White, who ‘farmed the Manor Farm 1941-1955’ & the incredible women she apprenticed herself too, was just wonderful! #BBCR4 #Ramblings

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
