The actual research is rather unsurprising and somewhat different from the journalistic spin

Sorry, misread your post so thought it suggested that this was a one-off. Apologies.

I think this is unfair. The Daily Star front page has been outstanding for several years in speaking truth unto power. It may be taking the piss, but it's far more intelligent than many other papers.

Farage genuinely understands a significant segment of the electorate. Unlike Goodwin and Corbyn.

To be fair, without reading the article, the quote reads as facetious to me.

Paul Dirac turning down a knighthood because he felt uncomfortable when people used his first name. World class mind, world class reason.

Thanks, now I can't get Joy Division out of my head.

I read it in Matthew Champion's book on medieval church graffiti. Most is in Norfolk but there's also examples in landlocked counties (e.g. Leicestershire) so he suggests they aren't directly related to prayers for those at sea.

Intersting. Is this similar to the common English medieval church graffiti of ships even in inland parishes with no seafaring tradition?

All true but to restore trust you have to be honest about the trade offs, but if you are, you won't win an election. So Labour promised growth, no increase in personal taxes and improved public services 🙄

I'd add This Sporting Life. East of Ipswich. This is England. Kidulthood.

And Escape to Victory - John Wark, Russell Osman et al showing bizarrely what football has lost in the modern error - the greatest players of the time, from the best team, in a film.

All senior government posts I.e. ministers of state upwards are paid too little for their responsibility but it's a hard sell because of poor reporting and poor behaviour by some high profile politicians.

Does anyone actually enjoy andouillette. I always thought it was something you had to try once in your life. Pretend it was good to save face but then avoid. A bit like bungee jumping or sky diving.

But Ofsted's quality assurance is deeply flawed and therefore the consistency and reliability of judgements should not be trusted. It has declined since I first became a governor 20 years ago but this seems rarely questioned by the press.
