As Britons face soaring UK energy bills, rising Covid cases, benefit cuts, empty supermarket shelves and a petrol crisis.... Boris Johnson jets off for a luxury break in Marbella
mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

In August a senior Government source told The Telegraph: “The PM’s going to staycation this year." But that was two months ago wasn't it.

Curious little paragraph

Yes the usual "he deserves a holiday like anyone else" stuff. Normally I'd agree. But given our current circumstances you'd think he might give it second thoughts and just take a break in the uk.

This is that University of Kent "white privilege" course that the Times and Telegraph have picked up on.... except... from the look of it.... it's not a white privilege course.
blogs.kent.ac.uk/staff-student-…

Key words "University of Kent" birthplace of the Revolutionary Communist Party ... forerunner of Spiked... I'm willing to bet a frozen bag of broad beans that one of that lot are behind this story. And the module seems to be over a year old.
