Who Killed Nessie? is a contemporary fantasy murder mystery. It’s hotel manager Lyndsay’s first day on the job - Nessie has been murdered and it’s up to her to solve the case!

Adam Tickell, UoB, thinks that students without A-Levels aren't 'capable of graduating' and wants to stop their access to student loans. This is a vile attitude. It's an attack on kids for who A-Levels aren't the answer at THAT point in time, and an attack on mature students returning to education.

This appalling fat cat wants to shut the door on all my mature students, many of whom left school after GCSE and give up a lot to go to university. I can tell him that they’re the hungriest for education and far from being unable to graduate, they regularly get the highest grades. Hateful man.

If Indiana Jones was made today, Indy would first lay his eyes on the Nazis and it would take a while to figure out whether they were Nazis/MAGA/ or the UK Labour Party.

Ah yes. Those were the days. When bad guys in movies and comics looked like that so we instinctively KNEW they were the bad guys.

FT headline 'UK to Further Curtail Rights of Asylum Seekers' with a picture of Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood walking in front of three single storey buildings. She is wearing a black military-ish coat with grey trim. It's a pretty cool coat, but it screams 'super villain'.

The problem with fascism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' corpses.

[Scene is a GREGGS interior. A lone MAN, the only customer in the shop, is standing at counter]

MAN:
Please can I have a sausage roll.

2
GREGGS SHOP ASSISTANT:
Certainly sir 

[She pulls a leaver on the panini machine and WOOSH the man disappears through a trapdoor].

Whoosh

Welcome, friend

4
[We see the voice is of a military-looking resistance COMMANDER with a moustache]

COMMANDER:
You said "please can I have" instead of β€œcan I get”…

So now you're one of us. 

5
MAN:
W-where am I ...?

[We see him looking at a hi tech UNDERGROUND MILITARY BUNKER - it has resistance vibes, and has lots of screens with maps etc]

6
COMMANDER:
You've joined the resistance…

...against people saying things all American.

7
COMMANDER:
We are an underground network of sleeper agents poised to have a right go at young people the moment they say "mom" or "bangs”.

8
LIEUTENANT [Staring at screen]:
Agent 244 has just given a Zoomer in Halifax the β€œcould/couldn't care less" speech, sir

COMMANDER:
Very good

9
[Show the map of the UK with digital pop ups on it saying β€˜GOTTEN’, β€˜ZEE’, β€˜MATH’ etc

COMMANDER:
You may have heard our name... We are...

10
COMMANDER:
...the Fight Against New Yankee Pronunciations and Americanisms Corrupting the King's English!

[Show the military command center panel. It says on the wall in big metal letters]:

F.A.N.Y.P.A.C.K.E.

MAN
You've called yourselves the 'Fanny Pack'
 
COMMANDER:
We didn't spot the acronym

They would buy it in droves. It would provide a convenient get out clause for all the bastards who have gone quiet since.

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

Make no mistake: this is where fascism starts.
It goes from here to banning people from working, and then from marrying "true" citizens.
This is not any kind of over-reaction: we have seen this before and we know where it ends.
Reform must be stopped at all costs.
