“Back at King’s Cross, and a teenage girl sings Back to Black with a Jamaican twang, at the piano, next to M&S — and there’s England, right there. Patois, Winehouse, custard; golden owls, brews and gurdwaras, and Betjeman keeping watch over the whole thing.“

People with more honest coverage than the @nytimes.com . I hope the shame runs deep and stays for years
We are in a timeline in which People Magazine is publishing legit hard-hitting news headlines while CBS and CNN publicly humiliate themselves.
I don’t like this timeline. But I’m loving People Magazine right now.

The Conservatives plan to reduce government spending by £47 billion.
It's not just taking money away from the poorest and most vulnerable people... it's taking £47B out of our local economies - which puts the nation in managed decline.

What happens when £47 billion disappears from Britain’s economy?
Tory Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride wants to take £47 billion out of the UK economy. That isn't prudence. It's managed decline

I think we need a debate in this country about what education is for. We're
lost in a spiral about driving up standards whilst knowing many find school a terrible ordeal. Why is that? Learning should be joyful and a continual part of life
It's not just about turning out cogs for the economy.

Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).
