Goodnight from the Brackley Crafting Circle and largely unsuspected coven, meeting in the snug of The Old King pub to make a list of local perverts in need of a cursing. Goodnight from Matthew Wrench, his mermaid tattoo singing him salt-kissed lullabies. Goodnight from Hookland.

This is disgusting Abolish the Home Office
Monique Hawkins, acting chief executive of the3million, said the impact of the Home Office’s retrospective review was devastating for many. "People applied to the EU settlement scheme in good faith...by building their lives in the UK and putting down roots." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Just to be clear, this is another on a long list of Farage, lying, on camera, to the press, in print, and CONSTANTLY.

Thames Water’s service has been shoddy, expensive and wasteful. They need to stop moaning and get a grip. Not a penny of taxpayers' money should be used to bail out their shareholders.

Thames Water CEO went unchallenged on the BBC on the claim that public ownership means water investment competes with health and defence. This is a myth! 99% of water investment comes from BILLS. Take 2 mins to complain to Ofcom and the BBC vist.ly/5d5xb
