Absolutely. It is also being reported (by British Transport Police) that the most seriously injured casualty on the train was an LNER employee:

"Detectives have reviewed the CCTV from the train and it is clear his actions were nothing short of heroic and undoubtedly saved many people’s lives"
Not entirely sure about that - we used to celebrate Halloween back in the 1970s in a rural part of the Midlands.

No trick or treat, but we used to carve turnips and put them out in the garden with tea lights in.

Celebrated November 5th as well.
I was taught never to venture beyond Tile Hill...
Berkswell and Cosham Vs Berkshire and Bosham.
But according to the UK gov website a provisional driving licence is not a valid form of ID (scroll to the bottom):

In some ways that's a relief. Our local (Tory) councillor usually concerns himself with bin collections and the smooth running of the village fete. It was a shock when he put a eulogy to CK online, accompanied by broken heart emojis.

My first reaction was despair, but maybe education is possible.
Lots in Portsmouth (and I don't mean the Naval base), and on the bridges over the M27.
Labour need to put the spotlight on Reform's performance in office (MPs and councils), but more importantly start improving people's lives so that voting for Reform seems like a risky thing to do.
One theme I keep seeing online is along the lines of 'the other parties have been rubbish, let's give Reform a go'.

Arguably as with Brexit - if people feel traditional politics / politicians are doing nothing for them or making their lives worse why not vote Reform?
I have read that story before and it didn't end well...
I assume Mr and Mrs Sooknanan didn't expect their daughter to enter the legal profession.

Certainly one of those times nominative determinism doesn't quite work out.
And don't forget the politicians with 'legitimate concerns' who are 'just asking questions'
New Forest open top bus tours also well worth it if you are ever down South. You can connect at the mainline train station at Brockenhurst.

No animals ??? Not even my pet lobster Jacques?

My other pet Kermit will also be disappointed ☹️.
They're not the sharpest tools in the box, are they.
A good counter point to the rose tinted spectacle wearers wishing to return to the 'good old days'.

Things aren't perfect today, but it is clear from lived experience that they have improved.
Or if he paid for it himself rather than blagging it from a rich mate.
Sounds like somebody didn't realise the Not the Nine o'clock News sketch 'Constable Savage' was comedy.
