worst thing about uni students using AI for essays is that they don't even seem to be doing it so they can spend more time in the club, I'd have marginally more respect for them if their goal was to maximise their partying time, what are they even doing with the time AI frees up for them

A liking for exotic coffee isn't a class signal in the UK. However, *thinking* that working class people prefer plain boring coffee is a very strong indicator that the speaker is upper middle class. No-one who actually has working class friends could be so deluded.
Please pray for Matthew. He went into a Greggs and the staff held him down and forced him to drink a woke beverage.

Greggs is great at making money from the appetites of the British public, if they are selling it, there’s demand.

‘It’s a nice surprise to be treated like kings!’ Why are mid-level British indie bands massive in China?
My group, Swim Deep, plays to crowds of hundreds across the UK – but in China, we play to tens of thousands. And we’re not the only ones

Apologies for bringing the "Wuthering Heights" discourse down to a base level, but having read a few interviews with Emerald Fennell it seems to me she got given tens of millions of pounds to put her teenage masturbatory fantasy on the big screen and I for one applaud her for it.

If there's one lesson from recent history it's that nothing bad ever happens after you're unreasonably rude to an FT journalist.
Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question.
Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

Giving Braverman the education brief is quite a choice for Reform. I was on an education commission with her once before she went completely mad and she knew absolutely nothing at all.
