Running for 40 episodes from 2001-2004, the Bristol-filmed Channel 4 comedy/drama series Teachers is one of the channel’s longest running scripted TV shows.
It was affectionally mocked by Bristolians for its “creative” (and nonsensical) use of the city’s geography.

The only news is rather desperate attempt by US regulator to find if the programme was provided to US outlets: www.bbc.com/news/article...
You would have thought US president and his lawyers would have this evidence *before* they sent their legal threat.
Oh well.
Whoopsie.

There is no “healthy basket bill” that will track people’s shopping habits through their loyalty cards.
This is another fake government policy that has fooled some people on social media.

Michael Gove on claims of a bad culture in No. 10 during the pandemic:
"The business of govt can't be carried on in the manner of a Jane Austen novel".
As so often, this assumes that the macho, hyper-aggressive style of Cummings & co produces better decisions. All the evidence suggests the reverse

You can add exemptions to immigration rules for different groups, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. When you say that migrants are second class and "less than" others, as this government is doing, that feeds through to everyone. Migrants aren't a disposable resource to pick and choose from.
