I remember seeing the ultimate limited edition - at a little museum in East Anglia - Kings Lynn maybe? A copy of "Maria Marten or Murder in the Red Barn" allegedly bound in the skin of the actual murderer after he was hanged. A true one-off!

I was looking at Reform's policy again the other day. They're proposing a £60k salary for people on ILR keeping their visa. Which means pretty much every nurse on ILR would be a risk. It's insane.
