Presumably it's the same effect that lets people whose job is empty-quoting politicians call themselves a "political journalist"?

I would be ashamed of someone like that attaching themselves to an academic institution I was part of.

It'd be like a professor emeritus of engineering going all in on the 5G Covid thing in public while loudly associating with their university.

Have Manchester responded?

Going to preserve this Grauniad typo for posterity:



edit: Also von der Leyen is speaking now about how great it is that after a long and arduous process both sides have compromised to find a mutually agreeable deal in the spirit of cooperation and good faith partnership going forward, meanwhile the UK press release is 'In record time we routed the EU and drove them from the field of battle, slitting the throats of their wounded as they begged for mercy! TODAY WE CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDECE DAY !!!!!'

I can see why the all caps guy feels nostalgic, I remember the old style bins, metal cans but with rubber tops. And the rubber and can itself would waste away.
And in some places you had to buy your own bins, so people would keep them until they collapsed or rusted away.
Grandmother used to keep one long after they were replaced with the plastic ones we have today.

this is far too optimistic, if it is causing problems then said problems will be blamed on something else. probably immigrants

Is this the first free trade deal in history designed to increase barriers to trade?

Also, good thread if you needed reminding about the need for the giant blender. Some of the sneering takes during the “herd immunity” period are wild.

Also worth pointing out that Jeremy Corbyn is climbing on an actual bouldering wall whereas Hatt Mancock is on one of the childrens-fun-play-climbing experience walls. It's like the difference between a car and one of those pound-in-the-slot postman pat's van machines you see in supermarkets.

Probably, especially as that might not even have anything to do with depression maybe she's just untidy.
