There are people out on Shirley High Street putting up flags with a cherry picker. With no lights on blocking one lane. Patriotism comes with a high risk of an RTA apparently.
And a risk of fire as they are hanging them over the Christmas lights

Just spotted someone sharing this AI image on Twitter to bait the "WE WANT ARE COUNTRY BACK" brigade, but the first thing which crossed my mind is I know a fair few guys who would part with an extraordinary amount of money for a VG+ copy of a Christmas dub album with this cover

My favourite joke from the care home entertainer today was "This is a song by Al Jolson. If Al Jolson was still alive Keir Starmer would throw him in prison. And then let him out too early"
I don't quite get it but there's something funny there

A voxpop man from Nuneaton told Channel 4 News that people come to the UK to seek asylum because they know they'll get a free house.
If people in Nuneaton have no clue of how the asylum system works how is anyone outside the UK supposed to understand it and be "deterred" from seeking asylum?

ID verification for Companies House is something we really need but that process is horrendous. Lots of linking accounts with pages that have little resemblance to the help text, and three Apps downloaded to get it finished

The most impractical element of the Government's destruction of the asylum system is their belief that they'll have the cash and capacity to track down everyone from a newly "safe" country.
Once Sudan is deemed "safe" how will they find everyone who made an asylum claim from Sudan?

There is a fundamental disconnect between the idea that people that come to the UK need to integrate better and leaving a threat that we throw people out at the first opportunity
If we accept someone is a genuine refugee and they build a life here, perhaps have children born here, what is the advantage to us of expelling them once we’ve persuaded ourselves that their country of origin is safe?

That's £3750 per meter?

My latest: Move over bat tunnel, here’s the wild story of how HS2 were forced to build a multi-million pound bridge for a road that… doesn’t actually exist.
How HS2 built a bridge to nowhere
A state-of-the-art road bridge has been built deep in the heart of rural Buckinghamshire. Designed to carry traffic over the HS2 railway, there's just one tiny problem - there's no actual road.

An interesting result. Labour threw everything at this (albeit not a well known local candidate), there was a well resourced independent that clearly took votes from Labour.
Lib Dems didn't appear to campaign more than normal, but that is active. Greens did absolutely nothing to win this
