Can still do a couple by Wilfred Owen from O-level. But favourite is the Adrian Mitchell, that The Lad, then six, memorised for his homework:

β€˜When I am sad and weary
When I think all hope has gone
When I walk along High Holborn
I think of you with nothing on’

Does anyone rate, let alone overrate, the 90s in this context?

Down is generally a bad direction for a boat, right?

Come on, that VAT isn't going to pay itself. A man has to make sacrifices.

Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Sun headline about Β£500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Did you see this headline?

Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?

Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his faultπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?

Course you would!😜

Let's take a look
