I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up.
Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.

Ah lovely. Another bag of rubbish gets tipped into the House of Lords. The place must absolutely reek of stale Tory failure, corruption and abuse of power.
Honours handed out like sweeties to some of the most undeserving, underachieving, overpromoted clowns and liars to have ever held public office.

Ofsted: this week my friend (a Headteacher) was driven, in a vintage open top car, round his school village, judging a scarecrow competition.
Whilst I am doing home visits to battered, empty flats looking for kids who may have caught malaria while in Africa.
