“My name’s Bilski, so my grandad was a migrant, but he came over in the war and worked down Bolton colliery,” he says. “He didn’t come asking for benefits.”

Oh, the good old days... soon these Reform cultists will remember the slave trade with fondness.

I've long wanted to take my kids to the theatre in London but it's just far too beyond our means. Back in the 1990s I could get tickets to see plays at the National Theatre or RSC for £10-20. Not always the best seats but good enough to see some of the country's finest actors performing in stunning performances. Even though I was from a working class background I had the chance to develop a sense of culture. It's something just not possible now.

GMP said it was unable to comment.

I've long felt that the whole UK is riddled with so many state "agents" of varying degrees that it would make soviet East Germany look like a model of democratic propriety. All the political parties are full of undercover agents, all major media, civil service, education. Wonder where the old bobby on the beat is? He's spying on you and me to keep an eye on us to make sure we're not a threat to the established order.

Woman has persistent health problems leading to time off work. Out crawl all the stiff upper-lip brigade (likely men).

Quite soon it will Wimblon and will rain and people will say they've never seen the like before and Cliff Richard will be wheeled out to croak "Summer Holiday".

Suitably, the article ends with a quote from the Bible:

Matthew 6:1 states: “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people in order to be noticed by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.”

The debate will likely end up asking why there are 116k anti-semites bold enough to demand this.

And yet millions of people travel with cancer across the world. And probably travel without the assistance of a dozen aides, security and who knows what else. Just like the King smelling bread, a woman with cancer travelling to another country really isn't news.

... yes on the poor and not his rich mates. Just shuffle off, Wes, your time in the peddleboat is over.

Please note: "Andy Burnham will be all things to all people until he becomes Prime Minister." Announcement ends.

Hmmmm.... where did that £5 million "gift" come from again?

 

Matt Goodwin, Reform UK’s candidate in the Gorton and Denton byelection, will not face a sanction for leaflets that omitted the party’s imprint, after a high court judge accepted this was due to an inadvertent printing error.

Reform admitted that it sent about 81,000 leaflets to the constituency’s voters from a “concerned neighbour”, which did not state they had been funded and distributed by the party.

Haven't they pulled this stunt before?

Xiami Bootloader (feddit.uk)

I've spent a long time looking for info about trying to circumvent Xiaomi's locked bootloader on a Redmi tablet.

My son forgot his code and Family Link prevents the tablet from allowing the usual data wipe factory reset. I've tried to get support from Xiaomi but all they provide is generic unhelpful guides.

Has anyone found a tool that can override the locked bootloader just to factory wipe it? While it's not an expensive tablet (£90) it's fairly new so very annoying from a parent's point of view.

 

Doubt being thrown at the accuracy of the KS2 tests. Again. Bearing in mind that these tests cost somewhere in the region of £45-50 million a year to administer (plus the time, staffing and resources primary schools put in) surely there are better, cheaper ways of monitoring pupil progress? Secondary schools frequently ignore data coming from primary and SATs results only seem to have a use in the equally questionable activity of predicting GCSE outcomes.

As a parent of a Year 6 child, I’ve been horrified at the pressure put on children and then - once the SATs were over - hardly any teaching going on (my son barely had a maths lesson after the tests and his time at school filled with “fun” activities like watching movies). I’d prefer my son’s education to be focused on his learning, not some high-stakes test. And I’d like it to carry on to the point he left school.
