The person dressed in a giant poppy costume who was jumping side to side and waving their arms at me as I entered the supermarket was pretty funny and made me smile, so I’ll have more of that type of poppy mania please.

Some people get weirdly militant about wearing them and decorating with them in Facebook posts, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone behave like that on person.

All I know is that when I order locusts and get a stowaway cricket with them is that it drives me mad in the evening when it starts chirping

They only really chirp in the evening or at night

Full time where I work is 37 hours a week with a 5 hour Friday. I’ve asked for a 4 day week by splitting those 5 hours over the other 4 days but have been refused. This seems to be about giving workers the right to request this arrangement, it shouldn’t force anyone to do it if they are happier sticking with their current 5 day week.

Are the drugs provided?

Poorer people are not sending their children to private school

Anyone who actually needs the winter fuel payment will still get it - people who get pension credits for example. There are many pensioners getting winter fuel payments that are plenty well off and do not need the free cash, my Grandma is one of them. She will make a fuss about how she needs it but she is by far the most well off in our family.

Central funding for further education has been cut massively since tuition fees were increased, so they have had an overall reduction in income from teaching

Leaving it in a box with your name (and presumably address) on it wasn’t a smart move

I recommend you read Ian Gribbin’s comments, they’re in another league. I wouldn’t call the first comment about Jo Cox hate speech either, but it is certainly in poor taste.

Malcolm Cupis’s comments are pretty bad too

What this country really needs to do right now is make sure that children are as vulnerable to sexual abuse as they can possibly be. Without some level of sex education to teach them what is absolutely not okay for an adult to force them to do they won’t know that they should seek help and won’t know how to describe what’s happening if they do. Ideal for the paedophiles in power and their friends.
