I intend to keep re-tweeting this to preserve Ruthโ€™s memory on EduTwitter. If you feel itโ€™s a good thought, please RT, or drop a like. I canโ€™t believe that inspection did this to a headteacher & Iโ€™ve dedicated my last book on inspection defence to her. RIP Ruth Perry.

Hello everyone! My account was hacked and compromised. So I definitely did not invite you to a podcast centred around food, nutrition and health. Please ignore and delete or your account could be compromised too.

When Burnhamโ€™s wife appeared yesterday, I saw a vivacious woman in her 50s, a Cambridge graduate, linguist & a cancer survivor. So the torrent of vile comments that followed didnโ€™t make sense. Why is a womanโ€™s worth still based on how she looks and not her strength and success?

Disgusting behaviour by the Argentinians at the end, especially Paredes. Just a bunch of nasty violent thugs, and a disgrace to football. Never been so happy to see a team lose.

Lord Devonโ€™s lineage โ€œgoes back to the Crusadesโ€. But so does mine. And yours. And literally everybodyโ€™s. Less well off people werenโ€™t beamed onto earth during the Industrial Revolution.
We sit down with hereditary peer Charles Courtenay, the 19th Earl of Devon, as he prepares to be removed from the House of Lords. He argues that his long lineage and the fact that his ancestors fought in the Crusades provide Parliament with a valuable connection to our past.

I do wish people would understand this. If a person is working full time and still needs universal credit, the benefit scrounger is the employer.
Replying to @ZoeJardiniere
I do think, though, that subsidising huge businesses like Tesco or Amazon or whatever paying poverty wages by topping them up with benefits is a model we should be working to move away from. No one in work should need state support. Make the bosses pay.

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

Please listen to this clip. President Donald Trump Should we now call him โ€˜Son of God?โ€™ My wife Bunty has started praying to him & has constructed a small shrine devoted to him. It consists of ear bandages & a sculpture of Donald on the cross made out of carrots. Praise the Lord!
