Cilla Black's crimes against Christmas are now stuff of legend. Here's one of the most disturbing. I honestly don't know where to start....

Conversation on a bus recently: black man sits next to me: "Is this the bus to Camber?" "Yes." "Aren't you going to ask me where I'm from?" (Twinkly-eyed question) "Where are you from?" "Croydon" "Aren't you going to ask me where I'm from?" "Where are you from?" "Zambia." 🤣🤣🤣

Strange how some ‘adults’ appear to feel threatened by this powerful, thoughtful, considered ‘user review’ of education. Dismissal of these insights are not just disrespectful but implies a lack of willingness to listen and learn…

Reforming my enlightenment this weekend @stmellitus online and a full day of Church History; more enjoyable than one might imagine! Plus, it gives a lovely lot of time to press on with this years temperature blanket (I’m a few weeks behind due to a wool shortage) #ordinandos

@tom_bray @ergodictom Via your influence??

Out neighbours are having a heat pump installed… it’s a big job!

Incredible moment where Suella Braverman inadvertently admits the absurdity of the UK asylum system.

Instinct prevents the mother from closing her jaws as she carries her young from the riverside nest into the water.
