I suspect advertising standards would have something to say about the term "quality education" in this advert
Meanwhile Mick Huckabee former Governor of Arkansas has brought out a series of books for kids. Look away now if you value books, history, brain cells or the future of the planet.

I know this is a serious point but... ...it feels like there is a strong overlap in these demographics with those getting enraged by concocted culture wars. Should creating culture wars be a public health issue?

Twitter has verified the (previously banned) far-right party Britain First as an "official organisation" and is giving blue ticks to anyone "affiliated" with it That will amplify their tweets to non-followers

This does not resonate with me, in any way, not at all. Nope, can't see where this chap is coming from... (I feel seen)
I am having washing machine delivered today. Same vibe.

This is what the Global Disinformation Index calls an "adversarial Narrative". One which is factually correct but framed in a way to deliberately mislead disinformationindex.org/blog…
FACT: Local Greens voted to scrap weekly bin collections in Arun District in May 2022 - can you imagine the smell? Your local Conservatives are committed to protecting weekly bin collections to stop rubbish from piling up on street corners.

In the week that Tories are up in arms about Bannau Brycheiniog getting its name back and the waste of money. They are also wasting money on removing signs that are to "nice". Gold. Fucking. Star
Genuinely nothing more hilariously on the nose about how miserable and nasty we’ve become as an island than changing our welcome signs to warnings

*This* is how scared the tories are of the SNP: they need to post childish gifs to undermine them at every opportunity. If the SNP weren't a threat, they wouldn't bother.
We now go live to the Humza Yousaf press huddle.

All that money that goes on making sure that your house is built to standards that means it won't kill you after you've bought it. Wouldn't that be better in the pockets of developers?
How do you bring home a date if you're 35 & living in your mom's basement?

For the avoidance of doubt, the thing barring developers from developing is not that they have to comply with standards, it's them waiting until they can build for the least amount and charge the most to buyers.
