Brittin so far absolutely fucking hopeless. There are countless tech and discussion podcasts in the private sector. You and Yours was exceptional public interest journalism.

"The best health is being really healthy". It's just meaningless, isn't it? The slightest examination and it collapses, like a souffle of shit. Yes, having a well-paid job will probably protect your welfare. BUT WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, YOU BLITHERING GOBSHITE?

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Johnson on X

We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Dolly Parton made over $10 million in royalties from Whitney Houston's version of 'I Will Always Love You' — and she used the money to invest in a Black neighborhood in Nashville because, "This is the house that Whitney built."
