It’s a fiscal pothole all on its own. Absolute clowns.
In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

Someone needs to do a Google Maps, but for the past. For example, typing in "London to York" but you can select a period e.g. 1450s, and it would give you the likeliest route. That'd be great.

Important context here:
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)
● "a big farm" is 217 acres.
Now let's see who's angry:
● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)
● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Why many free speech absolutism is nearly always intellectually dishonest and one-sided, in one minute.
I note, for example, that many of those most angry about Alison Pearson’s experience were exactly those calling for police action against things they didn’t like being said on the Gaza protests.
