Fromage is spouting his poor ‘woe is me’ I’ve done nothing wrong spiel….. He seems to have forgotten he is actually employed to represent the people of Clacton rather than make money for himself.

I was third generation grammar school, it served me well and I enjoyed it (co-ed) My husband 2nd gen single sex grammar, he did not enjoy it although it served him ok. We don’t live in a grammar area, nearest one is an hour away. So our child is at the local comp (top sets)

I was at a little middle school with the catchment including one of the most disadvantaged wards in Bucks. Just did a few of those verbal reasoning books from WHSmiths. Husband the same, but in Poole. Before the prep school was necessary.

Twas ever thus….. When my parents went (mid 60s) it was on merit, when I went (late 80s) elements of tutoring were there. About 15 years ago or so, the Bucks entrance tests were changed to be tutor proof because the GS heads were pissed off with tutored kids who couldn’t cope with it.

Went to the dentist today for a temp crown until the proper one is fitted in a few weeks. Lots of drilling but no need for anaesthetic. Not near nerves. Would gladly sit for another 7 hour tattoo. At least there is something pretty to show for it.

Anyone have any ideas on how to sort this? EVERYTHING has been tried and nothing has been plugged in for weeks now. iPhone 16. Charging port also doesn’t work anymore.

Is anyone in the White House aware of the Lansing Declaration (1916)? I’m gonna go with a ‘no’, but seriously, if I can find it, living in the rolling hills of South West England, then surely people in the know can????? #trump #greenland

Wasn’t there a deal when Denmark sold their West Indies territory to the US in which the US stated they would not try anything related to Greenland? #greenland #trump #davos

To be fair, Badenoch pulled a blinder today. Even through Fromage said no, the fact that there was already a press conference booked for late afternoon that Reform wouldn’t say what for, indicated yes, once we knew about the sacking. Tories controlled the narrative. Blinder. #jenrick

It's all guff and fluff. Butt-kissing and brown-nosing. Mumbled and sounds like written on the back of a fag packet and more flip-flops than an Aussie beach in summer. Bread and circus populism, masquerading as political discourse. #zahawi

There appears to be a bit of backlash about this, on some of the socials. Usual arguments, why, it’s a nothing illness, blah blah. And the usual ‘I was ok, my kids were ok…’ No appreciation of (future) complications. I’m pleased, although now not needed. I’d absolutely welcome an EBV vaccine!

‘Thank you for your attention to this matter….’ just sounds straight up stolen from any number of dystopian novels….. (But that would indicate some wider reading….)

Someone I’ve known for 25 years died by suicide on 29/12. His 49th birthday was 31/12. Planned meticulously. No one had any idea. Was always the life and soul, successful at work, loving family. Check in on your mates, even those who seem ok. They may not be.

Access to a dentist, any specialist health care hours away, higher level jobs are based in urban areas, high council tax due to adult social care - people move to W Dorset to retire - police coverage……

She is a little bit shouty I will say. Thoroughly enjoying the continued avoidance of any responsibility for the mess Labour inherited last year. 14 years, Kemi, 14 years you had to mess this up, will take a while to fix one feels

It’s not so much about the civics, although that is of course vitally important, it’s the ability to decipher the bullshit. Which many, many people appear unable or unwilling to do.

Surely the ReFuk parliamentarians can be considered a little too ‘flakey’ for the HoL? And as they have not yet fully shown what they’re capable of in relation to council leadership (although we have an idea…) so I can see this going well….

Seriously? They have not had an opportunity to show their mettle, and have a history of being a little,er, ‘flakey’? We need see what they do with the councils and then to fade into the ether…. Nigel Farage urges PM to appoint Reform peers to House of Lords www.bbc.com/news/article...

Surely this is only going to help in the short term, for a small %age of people? If the finance is there, at whatever cost, then house prices will still go up. Filtering down to the previously more affordable. I’m not sold on this one…. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/a...

What a way to get one up on a previous president, who let’s be fair is a way better person than the current one. Also, has no one learned? Vietnam, Afghanistan. Don’t take a nation on in their own land. It will not end well. #Iran/Trump
