I believe the main purpose of journalism is to provide employment for journalists. And their children.

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

I agree. Another problem is they think it is an issue for the education system when it really isn't. It's all about business demand. 'Vocational' courses will only get parity of esteem if and when business says so.

I think that might be the default on bandcamp. Certainly an option you can set up there.

fish and chips, the native British dish invented by sephardic Jewish migrants in the 18th century using a vegetable no one on this island had encountered before the 16th

The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point
Jess Gill @jessgillO3 I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to. British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones. Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism. 15:31·17 Oct 25-78K Views

I think this is the weirdest story I've ever reported. www.londoncentric.media/p/terry-ball...
The snail farmer of London, his mafia friends, and a £20m vendetta against the taxman
Terry Ball runs elaborate mollusc-based tax avoidance schemes that are costing London councils millions of pounds. Yet when London Centric tracks him down, an even stranger story emerges.

Unless she has a doctorate. Then it would make sense.

No, more when I realise I'm looking up at a whole other world that other people have actually walked on, that is close enough to pull our oceans around on a regular schedule. It's proper sci-fi weirdness.

I assume this is what your dog is thinking too.

And such brazen homicides. I mean even Jack Bauer off of 24 gives more thought to the moral aspects of his murders than Reacher does.

I love the Reacher showgramme. It is loads of fun.

It also exists in an absolute moral abyss where the 'good guys' are frequently more violent and horrible than the 'bad' guys.

I'm not sure that's a criticism. But it is a fact.

New lyric video for my song Sally.

I don't know who Sally is. She seems kinda cool though.

The chorus rips off the idea from 'Lovely Day' - long held note from one voice while the other voices sing around it. But in a completely different way of course.

Today's the 959th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, so obviously I'm reposting my scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry in Playmobil.

Really? Well done, mate! I happened to be doing family history stuff and learning about my 'silk weaveress' ancestor at the point the weaver line - which I regularly get - was renamed. Loved it.

I genuinely think Stewart Lee's 'Coming over here' routine should be on the A level syllabus.

...

Also his routine about 'vomiting into the gaping anus of Christ'
