Imagine growing up in the catchment area of one of her schools.

They should make maps warning parents to move beforehand if they can.

You can try using "this is what I reasonably believed it said" but if you keep doubling down forever like Miss_Snuffy (and claiming people are racist for calling her Miss_Snuffy despite that being her twitter handle that she picked for herself) then you're probably just going to get told to sit back down.

Is she still an actual headteacher of an actual school? I can't imagine it's a good look for a school to have a headteacher as terminally online as she is.

The Aslan tweet was about 5 years old and referred to the behaviour of Tory leadership hopefuls, it was a reasonable comment in context.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I've watched a few of her meltdowns, and she often accuses people of being racist when they challenge her ridiculous views and comments. Yesterday's meltdown was partly due to people criticising her for going to the NatC conference, with her screaming "is it because of my skin colour!?!?" when it was purely to do with a headteacher going to a fascist conference.

Any UK goons have experience with the shitshow that is the railway booking system? I'm going up to London this Thurs and coming back Friday, booking the tickets via Trainline; I got an email saying that my return train is no longer running, but my ticket is valid for the next available train, subject to conditions. If that doesn't work, I can get a refund.

Check the ticket's T&Cs, and they say: no alternate trains. No refunds. Okay, so which is true? If I take the next train, is some rear end in a top hat ticket inspector going to say nope, can't do that, here's a fine?

Also, it's a ridiculous split-ticket system where my trip is broken into two each way for no goddamn reason, since I stay on the same train. WTF?

God, I miss the days when it was just "go to station, buy ticket, get on next train". :argh:

In addition to being a Jesus analogue, Aslan is also an Irish band. Probably won't play much now that their lead singer sadly passed away last month.

God, I miss the days when it was just "go to station, buy ticket, get on next train". :argh:

If you get a split ticket the train apparently has to actually stop at the split place not just pass through. Eg if it was a train from London to Manchester via Wolverhampton (no idea if that is a real journey!) and you had a split ticket L to W then W to M, if the train did not actually stop at W your ticket wouldn't be valid but if it did it would.
That said the last few train journeys I've made no-one has checked my ticket at all because there has been so much disruption on the trains (cancellations, breakdowns etc) no-one knows if the ticket is right or not.
On the other hand the Train Delay refund system works well! Got the entire cost of return portion from Brighton to Newport refunded in April (2h delay) and will be getting half of the return journey from North Wales in a week or so (40mins delay)
Print out the bit that says you can use the next available and carry it with you in case of bovver.
