Steve Coogan says the Conservatives don't put money into education because they want stupid people to vote for them.

Nice man at lefty rally being interviewed says the Chief Rabbi has called for the killing of all arabs.

I thought conspiracy theories were supposed to be the domain of Americans living in the mountains with lots of guns (e.g. bearish!). But I think that most lefties, even the mild mannered ones (there are still a few), will now believe absolutely anything. 
I don’t know enough about the UK voting patterns to have much to say about the education story, but it’s certainly true in the Trump era that the GOP has become the party of the poorly educated. And naming Betsy DeVos to the post of Secretary of Education does seem intent on hurting public education. But I digress.

Regarding my living arrangements - not a mountain in sight. And, despite having received a significant amount of military training operating an assault rifle, I can happily report that we are a gun free household.

I have the Collector’s old crossbow but I am not strong enough to load it. And that won’t change on a diet of worms and acorns. (Our pets won’t last us for more than a couple of weeks.)

Few mins left to the vote results. Anyone else listening to Europe's "Final Countdown"?

Matcham's Masterstroke! A lot of easing of pent-up impasses.

Congratulations.
