Their previous planning. I was listening to this on Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart's podcast. The courses were not included in tory funding plans. AC said that he'd heard they were looking for someone to donate the 1 million needed for the kids to complete the courses and do GCSEs.

I don't think anyone is normal. Once you get beneath the surface everyone I know is a bit weird. Then again I don't know 99.99....% of the population of the world so.....

Starmer's response was good yesterday - they did and said nothing about it before.

Watched Alien around 1980 - what a great film. I watched it again 20 years later and saw it much more as a slow burn movie. I think that probably reflects how the action scenes have come to dominate - not always for the best.

When there's no light af the end of the tunnel, what do you do? It's not a response I would have now either, but I understand it. Rationale goes out of the window when you live desperately.

I realised - from my own family - that my parents - to my mind squandering - of money gambling on the horses and at bingo was merely the economics of desperation.

I strongly resisted this explaining that it's not that they can't budget, but that they don't have the money to budget with.

It's not something that's fully realised unless you've experienced it. I used to work in a local authority teaching adults maths, and in recent times my middle class, well meaning colleagues proposed teaching budgeting skills to those struggling with finances.

What a great picture - especially as I've seen that view hundreds of times from when I used to go out on Friday and Saturday nights...a bit later on in history though. Maybe there was more neon then. (And I'm from Wakfield - born about a mile away off Dewsbury Road).
