Anglo Saxon English or Anglo Norman English?

Recently found out that my son persuaded the A-Level philosophy teacher to put up a sign saying "Serving Kant" at the school's open day

I have asked Isabel Oakeshott if she really is trying to bring back the National Front argument about black footballers that most people rejected three or four decades ago, when John Barnes scored in the Maracana and the NF said black goals did not count, as he was not English

Not satisfied with calling me a Nazi I've been upgraded to generally unpleasant

I thought Clap For The NHS was bad enough, but this is TOO far...

Obviously this person is a lunatic but the list making thing on Bsky is a major detriment

10/10 punchline, no notes *chef's kiss*

He can't be this stupid. These aren't contradictory

There’s an even bigger conspiracy and it goes even deeper. It turns out that well over half of Parliament and thousands of councillors around the country are all members of a leftist organisation called “The Labour Party”.

Good morning. Here's Gareth Hunt demonstrating the dangers of trying to work whist nursing the mother of all hangovers.

Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the railway by travelling via Euston

Yes this matches my needs perfectly

Reform are simultaneously treated as an unserious party of cranks crooks and oddballs that doesn't deserve proper scrutiny and the next party of government

I've reviewed the thinkers' thoughts on here and the conclusion is that the solution to the country's problems is "do nothing" and hope that come the next GE people don't vote for the "do everything" parties

I've been tired alright

It was published more than an hour ago but Zarah Sultana’s announcement that she’s no longer suing her own party still hasn’t replaced her pinned announcement that she’s suing her own party.

It is with something close to hysteria that I must announce the 6th or maybe 7th faction within Your Party, and that's without counting the joint communiqué from the Scottish branches, which I am minded to.

Scrap the Paralympics

Kate Macintosh designed Dawson’s Heights for Southwark Council in 1964 aged just 28. (She's alive and well and still fighting for high quality social housing.) English Heritage described it as ‘an example of the almost-lost art of romantic townscape’ municipaldreams.substack.com/p/dawsons-he...
