My Lords, for my maiden speech I would like to draw your lordship’s attention to the subject of bumming, jackzy entering, feathering the cornhole, reaming or to use a vernacular term anal penetration. As a well known inter licktual and school governor this subject is very close to my ‘heart’.

England's children's homes run by private equity rake in millions.
Private firms own 83% of homes.
Average charge for a child in care is £281,000 a year. Some charge £63,000 a week per child.
For-profit homes provide the worse care.

Amnesty refer to Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide. This follows Amos Goldberg, Prof of Holocaust History at Hebrew University, Jerusalem who said “'What is happening in Gaza is a genocide because Gaza does not exist anymore”. At very least the UK govt must demand an inquiry.
