There's an argument for scrapping the £100K salary limit for childcare but saying those on £100K salaries are uniquely hard working is bollocks. Workers on the early bus on their way to cleaning, caring, hospitality jobs work just as hard. Tories believe wealth is acquired by virtue. It ain't.

Absolutely loved him, that period from MATH thru to Dick Turpin, I just thought he was the coolest,funniest and most charming man on tv. The attached piece shows him to have been just same in real life💖fromhttps://bbc.com/news/articles/ce8eg2nnxz0o

The comedian dominated Saturday night TV in the 1980s, with his sketch shows attracting 18 million viewers. Next came the West End musicals and sitcoms. But in 2016 he quietly disappeared from the limelight. What happened?

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.
(archive document) 

Memorandum of Disapproval

I have today vetoed H.R. 11897, a bill which would name the United States Courthouse and Federal Office Building in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the "President Gerald R. Ford Federal Office Building."

Although I appreciate the honor expressed by the Congress in enacting this legislation, I intend to continue the policy of past Administrations that the executive branch not endorse the naming of Federal office buildings. Generally, the executive branch has deferred to the desires of the Congress on such matters.

Although several Federal office buildings have been named for incumbent members of the Congress, I know of none that have been named for a President while still in office. I consider it improper for me as an incumbent President to approve legislation which places my name on a Federal building. This is a precedent I do not wish to establish.

In general, I feel this way: office buildings which house the functions of Government should not be used as monuments to Federal officials, but rather as workshops for the people's business.

In particular, I would hope our Presidents will be remembered for their labors in building better Government rather than for their efforts in constructing public works projects to themselves.

All I’m saying is if someone fed me, gave me a warm bed, walked me, played with me, let me outside for a poo or wee whenever I wanted and generally loved me unconditionally, I wouldn’t jump in their seat the second they got up because that’s ARSEHOLE BEHAVIOUR. That’s all I’m saying.
