watching a video of someone using pages from a book to make a paper star decoration, I was reminded of this. Created by an ex-colleague (we're both since retired) from faulty copy pages of a record book. the red ribbon is the proverbial legal "red tape"

Dear BBC News, the whole idea of changing the name to "resident doctors" was to stop calling them "junior doctors" because when you talked about "junior doctors" people thought you meant "trainee doctors". They're not trainees, they're fully qualified.

Not a peep from the Putin Puppet Farage today over his MP’s divisive and racist rhetoric. Not fit to govern.

A disabled son care-taking for a disabled father try to understand the mysterious blur haunting them.

“Farage has given two contradictory versions – one that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second one is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign.” – @goodlawproject.org

'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner
Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost £900,000 for the property

The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.

Politico: "Nigel Farage is demanding Keir Starmer allow him to nominate Reform peers to the House of Lords in a letter which makes the front of the Times."

How on earth has this made the front page? It's the ultimate "he would say that, wouldn't he" story

Why was there a Kindertransport?

Because we wouldn't let their parents come with them.

Five years into the Nazi persecution, we wouldn't let their parents come with them. And we insisted every child had someone to meet their "costs". And we only agreed on condition most would "re-emigrate".
Unfortunately, and as I write about in my current book... British society in the 1930s... and even after the start of the war... influenced by newspapers like the Daily Mail was just as hostile to Jewish German and other refugees of Naziism as their modern descendants are to 'asylum seekers' today.
I want to say to the “nice people” who succumb to the boats and women’s toilets propaganda, to pretend it’s the 30s and it’s escaping Jewish people from Europe or Black people in the Deep South they are being asked to despise.
