If you want to win over younger voters, telling them they can't go to university is probably not going to help.

It doesn't seem to be stated explicitly, but I think the key thing is this: which type a verb is doesn't seem to depend on its surface form (the spelling or pronunciation of the present, e.g.).

A quick scout around suggests that there are basically two types of verb: those that change the vowel in the past tense (like 'grow'), and those which add 't' or 'ed' at the end (like 'glow'). I think the first is older, and there's a tendency to shift from the first to the second.

I'm afraid it's not specific to UCL, despite the presence of Bentham's body there. We had the same system at Sussex quite a few years ago. You're just lucky you were able to hold out so long.

This detailed demolition of @gullyfoyleuk.bsky.social's "75 Brexit Benefits" by @alanbeattie.bsky.social deserves wider circulation.

Intellectual garbage disposal is a valuable public service!

Alan Beattie @alanbeattie.bsky.social · 2d

OK, let's take this seriously. I had an odd half an hour and via Apple Books had a quick look at the three claims I knew most about - two re the post-Brexit bilateral preferential trade agreements replicated from the EU versions and one about cheaper bananas. All are wrong or wildly implausible. 1/n

I would add one thing: we are bombarded with two claims: 1) the UK can leave the ECHR without lowering human rights protection and 2) the ECHR significantly limits what the government can do and hence the UK has to leave it.
These cannot both be true. /1

Sam Freedman @samfr.bsky.social · 4d

There are lots of reasons not to leave ECHR. But apart from anything else, it just doesn't solve the problem the Tories/Reform think it does.

E.g. the Supreme Court judgment re Rwanda being unsafe explicitly said it was not based on ECHR.
