Saw an April Fool that the England football team would be relocating to Holland after Brexit whilst scrolling through twitter this morning but I can't seem to find it now, or I'd share it. This is quite fun, though:

Brexit has created a two-faced ruling class in London too. Very few British politicians, civil servants, business leaders or even many Brexit-cheerleading journalists believe the official state ideology of Brexit. They just mouth the slogans. The populist policy of Brexit has made the populist claim come true: Britain’s elite lies.

It used to be said British diplomats were sent to lie abroad for their country. Now they lie for Conservative party unity.

Now it is up to parliament. It is in possession of Cambridge Analytica’s and AIQ’s corporate documents. It supports a government that is intimately entwined in this. And how it negotiates those two irreconcilable facts may be a yardstick that future generations will come to measure it by.

Following Brexit central government has issued guidelines that all new projects should reflect a British identity. Britannia is one of the most unifying symbols of the Celtic regions and we believe it is the perfect name to reflect this great example of a 21st Century British engineering project.

Is this serious? If so, it's getting more frightening by the minute.

Just as whistleblowers reveal Leave campaign cheating, to be investigated by Electoral Commission, Daily Telegraph comes out with this to attack Electoral Commission. Crude, dangerous, anti- democratic propaganda and unworthy ‘Journalism’

Confidence in the elections watchdog is evaporating as it emerged that almost half of its board have made public statements criticising the pro-Brexit campaign or backing calls for the result to be overturned, despite strict impartiality rules.

An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph found that four of the Electoral Commission’s 10 commissioners, including the chairman, had made pronouncements on Brexit since the referendum – all of them backing Remain.

The body’s code of conduct states that commissioners must “act at all times” to “uphold its impartiality”.

Fresh figures from the ONS last week showed households became net borrowers, rather than savers, for the first time since 1987. Meanwhile, the households savings ratio, which measures outgoings and incoming money, is at its lowest level since 1963.

Not a musician, then (as I discovered)!

You don’t notice it because you’re with them all the time, but when you see them with children of the same age who are from an affluent area, they just look tiny.”

Grim, isn't it.
Many years ago I did the accounts for an Education Action Zone and our Director talked about that, I was a bit taken aback at the time mainly because I'd never thought about it.
Anyway there was a Christmas Concert at the special school in the area and a group of musicians came from the private school to play, the contrast in their appearance, particularly their hair, was quite striking.
This would be at the end of the 90s before New Labour had any impact.

I sort of assumed you were referring to an audio of football highlights with a live contribution.

That's a question (above) directed at HindleA, in case anyone's wondering.
