Last night was the first evening shop of this autumn. Car headlights really bothered me. When I came out of one shop to head to Boots I could not get my bearings for a few minutes... everything glared and concourse between shops seemed really shadowy. Apparently it's the Lyme Disease... what next

If the ICO held the data controllers to account and ensured all personal data was anonymised and securely encrypted there would a lower risk of exposure of individuals when a system is hacked. At this point in time... the ICO is as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike.

Newsnight, billed as the most intelligent news programme on the BBC, has so far spent the entire show talking about Harry and Meghan returning to Britain. It’s all done with the breathless hyperbole of a 1930s Pathe news reel. What a ridiculous country. It’s embarrassing to live here 90% of the time

Schools should have prevented it the first place, just as many businesses do. If parents and others want to recognise the hard work of teachers - donate to a school fund that aids inclusion. Example is the P7s excluded from end of year excursion because families simply cannot afford it.
