While we’re talking about Covid and school closures, perhaps we could talk about why so few attempts were made to mitigate against infection in crowded and poorly ventilated classrooms.
Keeping kids at school is important, but we did so little to facilitate that.

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it.

So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

“While the changes would hit some farmers hard, they could be offset with good succession planning. Wealthy families and absentee landlords buying farmland to dodge inheritance tax meanwhile should have to pay their fair share,”
Essential FT read on the farmer IHT "controversy". In short, it's massively overblown. A wealthy few, with a strong financial interest in the status quo, are inflicting a lot of unnecessary worry on regular farmers.
