What does that even mean ?

Don't give this imbecile any publicity.

Long sharp shock didn't help but short will? Hm. Keep inventing those childish names. How about policy called Enter of a dragon? Or Sudden Death 3? (or even better- Sudden Death 3!!!)

Oh get over this repetitive language. What shock? There is no shock.

Well, it worked with Young Offenders in the 1980’s (actually it didn’t but Tories love a bit of Gilbert & Sullivan and it sounds hawkish, so here we go again).

Sharp yes, but short unfortunately NO. The Tories are doing their best impersonation of the Republicans.

Oh Pink Floyd!

good

Covid on campus: Students fed up with being blamed for virus spikeAs Covid cases surge on US campuses young people say politicians should also take responsibility. I should imagine I'd be pretty annoyed about being set up as well. So it’s not just the U.K. young spiteful arrogant adults who refuse to abide by the law, it’s the young adults worldwide partly to blame for spreading Covi, which is killing our family members, governments & parents need to be much stronger, close all businesses they converge at. Young people not wanting to accept responsibility.....surprise surprise. Millennial students are the worst.....we'd have just kept on shagging and drinking not worrying about what the politicians say. Pathetic.
