My rip off degree of Old and Middle English led directly to #HorridHenry and millions of books sold, and kids becoming readers. Oh, and I was on one of those visas Reform vows to revoke
I’m Spartacus. English Lit. Je ne regrette rien (sorry I do realise that’s French).

Oh my god, please, just stop. This is so embarrassing. It’s ok, you don’t need a flag to prove you care about the country. Most people don’t have bloody flags in their home. This weird ass obsession with flags. We are a very very odd country.
Asked if she's got a flag on display in her home, the Home Secretary says she has Union Jack bunting, St Georges flags, St Georges bunting, and Union Jack flags and tablecloths.

The fees at the public school attended by Jeremy Clarkson are over £40,000 a year. Every time he tells us how well he's done despite his poor A-levels, he's just confirming what we already know about the class system.

So bored of this ‘it’s illegal to be gay there, so why are you supporting them’ narrative - it’s not that hard to understand: in spite of your religious beliefs I still support your right to not be killed. Why do some people find this so difficult to get their head around?
“Queer dance artist” Daniel Perry has been identified as the on-stage actor who waved the Palestinian flag at the end of Il travatore at the Royal Opera House. Amazed Mr Perry would support Gaza since homosexuality is illegal there and the gay community is subject to violence and

You can’t make this shit up
Today women MPs wore Suffragette sashes to celebrate Votes for Women–won by civil disobedience & celebrated in Parliament's gift shop. And yet now the government is asking us to vote to proscribe Palestine Action–a modern civil disobedience group–as terrorists
