If the government really wants to scrap degrees which deliver no value to the UK and indeed have led to £ billions in damage to the economy and culture of the UK then it just needs to scrap the Oxford PPE degree and arrest everyone who has taken it.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

POV: you are stuck in London traffic behind a 2008 Vauxhall minivan adorned with various right wing slogans including “RIP LONDON KHAN AND STARMER GAVE FCUKED YOU! HONK IF YOU HATE EM!” & “Starmer stop the boats”. The license place is “RIP BE” and there are pictures of a demonic looking Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan adorning the bumper and rear window. England and Union Jack flags fly from the rear windows

My ex- neighbour had a sticker that said “Sadiq Khan is not my mayor “. And he was right because we lived in Kent.

Siffre met his partner Peter Lloyd in July 1964 and they were together for 48 years and in a civil partnership as soon as it was legal

From the mid-1990s until Lloyd's death in 2013, he and Siffre lived in a ménage à trois with Rudolf van Baardwijk in the village of Cwmdu, South Wales

Ex-orphan Lualeni's third baby and first son arrived in late April, and already this little bull is developing his own personality. At five months, Luki is becoming more confident and independent – testing boundaries whilst always staying within trunk's reach of protective Lualeni.

Asked lots about this piece on Chronic Lyme disease, and disappointed in the @guardian (a publication I both subscribe and contribute to) for running it. Short thread explaining the multitude of problems with it, and why I consider it irresponsible to run as is..🧵

If you are eligible for them on the NHS please get them. If you aren’t, please consider paying.

Respiratory illness is already putting a big strain on hospitals and it’s only October.

This week I filed my claim for compensation from the company Anthropic AI, who have illegally used pirated online copies of two of my books to train artificial intelligence. A past version of myself would maybe find it quite exciting if I told him he would be involved in a worldwide battle against robots. But probably less so when he found out the robots are invisible, tedious twats.
