I did read this in a cab on the M4 at half five this morning so I was primed to be grumpy admittedly, but seriously - who the fuck cares what Richard Tice, Karol Sikora and Lord bleedin' Frost think of the covid inquiry? How are they relevant? The decline of the Telegraph is quite incredible
it's not useful, it's the Mail. but that is how they've reported the covid inquiry report. it's better than the Telegraph which is "three of our columnists think it's a waste of money" for a thousand words before they even mention its actual findings. Get more news from the Beano.

Obligatory tired Clockwork Orange reference. Yep
Rehashing bullshit about the length of time to reach places.
Complete BS. An hour to the City? No. 5 mins bus then 20 mins Liz line, or walk to it from S. Thamesmead

It's like Bertrand Russell launched that teapot into space for nothing
This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

Historians argue that Trump indicting his enemies one-by-one rather than having them murdered in a single night proves he’s not a fascist.

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture.
It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

I know the racism is the main story, but I feel like it might also be worth also looking at the fact that the man who for several years not so long ago was Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government now thinks that a lot of our communities and neighbourhoods are "slums",

Where now for Britain’s Universities?
UK higher education now faces a very bleak future, retreating in the face of little public sympathy and limited political interest.

The argument we can't spend more than £2.6bn on affordable housing due to public finances falls apart when considering:
1) Result is ever more spent (£2.8 bn) annually on expensive private temporary accommodation
2) Housing benefit bill due to high rents rising and now above £30bn a year
