I spend my days cramming information into small heads (mostly without their objection), walking the little pricess in the profile pic, or reading. Apparently I'm a woke, lefty tree-hugger, and that sounds good to me.
A couple of years ago there was a lot of kefuffle about a video of a child asking how a teacher would react if she decided to identify as a cat. One of my students challenged me, demanding to know whether I would say the girl was indeed a cat, or whether I would tell her it was all nonsense.

Sir Keir Starmer welcomed the ruling in his first comments on the matter, saying it gave "much needed clarity".

The prime minister told the BBC: "I'm really pleased the court has clarified the position.

"We can move on from there. [I] think that has been very helpful."

Dear Women Need Single-sex Spaces Based on Biological Sex enthusiasts,

What are you going to do when a trans-man, complete with beard, penis and testosterone-fuelled muscles, come strolling into the ladies' loo?

Now that women are defined by biological sex, what are men defined by?

What function does a Gender Recognition Certificate now hold?

Whatever your stance on trans issues, this ruling surely can't stand in isolation?

"Reeves says 'nothing off the table' in negotiations with US"

Not the NHS?
Not the concept of us importing bleached chicken?

As a lifelong Labour voter, I am really struggling.

"We can't tax and spend our way to higher living standards and better public services. That's not available in the world we live in today,"

Actually, chancellor, it is available.

A pissed off Labour party member.

40% increase in the water bill.

A reward for the sterling work keeping our local beach polluted on a regular basis and semi-permanent leaks in the High Street...

Well done, Southern and South Eastern Water companies

Fantastic weekend in Liverpool, meeting friends, eating too much, walking miles and seeing our all time favourite band The Levellers.

Now back to grind.

Dose Vance realise France and the UK aren't actually one country, random or not.

"Some random country that hasn't fought a war in 40 years..."

Over 500 dead British and French personnel (more than 1,000 total European fatalities) and c10,000 injured in Afghanistan 2001-2021. The only time Article 5 has been invoked.

'Disrespect' does not reside in lack of a suit, Mr Vance. ~AA

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one.

And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Are any Americans actually offended by leaders not wearing a suit?

Jeepers. Every time you think you know how foul Trump is he reminds you that you really have no idea.

Having a pretty ropey day. Then Mr Fox decides to come play in the garden and despite everything I can't help smiling.

He was too quick for me to get a decent pic, this time.

What do you do when you have reluctant writers?

Meet them where they are at. Where one of today's students is at also a favourite of mine - anime!

This afternoon Tanjiro and Nezuko are joining us to help plann and write a script about their adventures.

Jeez. Trump actually just said it. He actually just said that Ukraine shouldn't have started this war! He’s actually siding with a crazed, murderous dictator

Little bit tired of hearing POTUS described as the Head of the Free World.

He's the 'Head' of the US. For some extraordinary reason Americans voted for him.
The rest of us Did Not.
