The view from here.

Very good point.

Massive and chaotic tactical voting. So, most people are not voting for the candidate they want to win.

So agree. Sargent is such a great painter.

I was in the last entry year of a Direct Grant school (before it went fully independent). I think this scheme worked well - especially for schools with a specialist focus. It could be a way of keeping certain fee paying schools while broadening access.

I honestly think it would go to the Greens in a by-election, if held in the next 1/2 year or so.

Painting in watercolour. It need total focus.

They are terrified that the English class system will disintegrate

Yes. I think that is the point. There are limited resources - land, food, nature, people, skills - real things that you can see and understand, but money is not one of them. It is a means of exchange.

I agree. It feels like when someone is telling you something that doesn’t add up. Crazy making. 😣😣

What happened to The Mash Report? Far funnier and more cutting than HIGNFY.

Love it. Freedom for penguins!

It seems to me that the ruling elite needed austerity to preserve a crumbling class system. It worked too.
