"Of course, how was Mandelson to know that Epstein, who seemed so plausible, was a wrong ‘un? Well, one clue was that, at the very moment Mandelson was forwarding this stuff, Epstein WAS IN PRISON. He had pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution."

Richard Pierpoint was kidnapped and enslaved for over two decades.
He eventually escaped to the north and fought against the Americans in the American Revolution and the War of 1812.
Today, he is honoured in Canada.

Could someone at LBC give credit to the SNP for policies (often furiously opposed by the labour MSPs) that have resulted in fewer school exclusions? It is clear labour are trying to make changes without ever mentioning they already are in place in Scotland. You wonder why we vote SNP?

I recently learned something amazing about the Arctic - & my tiny mind is blown.
Like many folk, I've always believed it's a featureless, empty place. Which is true! But this week I learned what's underneath it - & if THAT was on dry land, it'd be a wonder of the modern world.
