This is very wonderful indeed. Excellent Sunday reading.
Thank God, it's the Rightmove Roundup open.substack.com/pub/heawood/p/…
Our schools have gone mad. "Several parents have contacted me about their child’s toilet visits being monitored at school to what they think is an excessive degree. One told me that he is sent an alert from the school app every time his daughter goes to the toilet in lessons."

67% of all women journalists killed in 2023 were Palestinian. Take this, they were all killed in the span of 3 months not a year. & this calculation does not count all the journalists killed since January.

Read these instructions for teachers. This is what is going on in so many of our academies. Behaviour is regulated minute by minute, word by word, right down to the arm movements. For teachers as well as pupils.

There is an actual Palestinian MP in Parliament, who has been very public and vocal about her family members trapped in Gaza, but because she's a Liberal and not an atrocity-denying Assad-worshipper, the Far-Left's Lawrence of Arabia can simply write her out of history.

Sometimes in therapy I talk to adults who tell me how it felt to be the ‘worst behaved’ in the class, and the time that the whole class lost their playtime because of them. How no one would play with them or even talk to them the next day. These aren’t inspirational memories.… x.com/i/web/status/1…

"When [Kemi Badenoch] was a new MP she rang me and fessed up to hacking Harriet Harman's emails and begged for clemency" A reminder that this offence carried a jail sentence of up to five years at the time.

Mentally making a list of artists' whose work is most tempting to touch. Serra is up there - Hepworth too? Auerbach for the texture. Am also gripped by the urge to lick Epstein's 'Jacob and the Angel' whenever I see it in the Tate Brit. Big raspberry ripple hunk of alabaster.

@ashchatsshit @JonnElledge This is mad. I suspect it is one of those complex tenures where L&Q own a headlease. We have a similar set up & it creates a lot of issues. If she hasn't yet done so, your sister-in-law may want to reach out to @LKPleasehold and @EOCS_Official
@JonnElledge have to pay it back and it works out at about 22k per flat. I genuinely don't know how on earth this has been allowed to happen and why people aren't being sent to prison
@JonnElledge Happening everywhere. Mines gone from around £2k in 2021 to near £4k now. It’s brutal, and the kicker. It’s Lambeth council that takes it.

Children need to be able to speak to doctors without worrying about their parents finding out. It’s how some can signal abuse, it’s how some can access contraception. You’re all being weirdos.

I do worry that Britain is becoming not just a less intellectual but an actively less intelligent culture; 'intelligence' denoting the willingness and capacity to seek truth, ask difficult questions, & make real efforts in understanding the world.
