Coupled with that is that the bottom has fallen out of adult Ed. As a kid, I remember lots of the parents doing all sorts at night school, in the actual school when the kids had gone home. It was rich. This was killed deliberately by government and then they moan that people can’t cook, that we are a throw away society etc. Start night school again and teach these people proper skills, help people to be self sufficient.

As many as 12,600 flats in 220 different developments featuring the cladding have been given the go-ahead by planners across the UK in recent years.

He is kind of on the inside as his dad was a bishop, so not exactly a pleb. Heaven forbid that they actually allow one of the great unwashed into their inner circle.

I see the esteemed journalist, Jon snow is not on that list. Alas he didn’t make the cut because he failed his A levels at scabby tech.
