I love finding things out and helping others to, too. Retired nurse, retired teacher, still busy. Living in the UK.

What is your favourite font (typeface) and why? Mine is Andika (available free from sil.org) because it is easier to tell the difference between similar looking letters/numbers. youtube.com/shorts/7m5zi...

Tories saved us money by not building prison places while wanting longer sentences for those convicted. They also failed to upgrade the probation service so it could cope. They are unable to put together a coherent plan for any future.

There have always been people that use the Bible for their own gratification. It is concerning that it has spread through so much of the church. If anyone thinks one person is above another they should read the gospels again. youtu.be/-BSAI-7JtiU?...

He was writing entertaining fiction. I think we should enjoy it for what it is. Anybody concerned about accurate theology should get their Bible out an enjoy reading that too. Of course there are some parallels between his stories and theology but that is never why I read it to my children.

A few years ago I was lucky to get improved house insulation via the government. It has been better for me and the planet than cheaper natural gas. We need better public transport and alternatives to fossil fuel vehicles. Use the tax to make improvements. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How come high taxes and immigration in the past have made Britain better and helped us recover from war. It is complaining about them that is damaging the UK now.

It would be good if adjustments were made for those not coping in a large class before it becomes an internal exclusion. It needs space and teachers. Probably still cheaper for society than the consequence of waiting for problems.
