CCMS appears to take positive glee in forcing you to remove all punctuation and spacing. Basically telling you that all your training as a communicator is a waste of time
Posted this before trying to submit my communication but obvs. I can’t because it contains an invalid character. Which one? Not telling you, draft/edit until it’s accepted. No, I don’t have time. @LegalAidAgency you have known about this flaw for years - please sort it out.

Still feeling tired after non Covid chest infection and awaiting some other tests. It is of some comfort after wading through another 600 page egress file to see Manu 0-Liverpool 5

Don't know what's most delicious. The Pope made you all liable in 2013 or the lugubrious sidekick droning "legally" and "joint enterprise" behind him. Idiots

Those of us of a certain age remember when, if the Home Office had failed to decide the application within 6 months, the applicant could obtain permission to work as of right. Not a bad system to bring back

While this is an important story I tend to disagree possn hearings are open Court. In the old days they were- all the tenants and landlords got to sit and hear each case and it breached privacy and dignity.

For those of you horror afficionadoes who miss Battle Royale (not the game but the Japanese movie) help is at hand. Squid Squid on Netflix. Korean not Japanese. Like all good horror a topical element- what if debt problems forced the games (not YA not Hunger Games).
As the saying goes. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.

Query- why have the Tories just raised taxes for the "bloated" NHS? Either the NHS needs the money or it doesn't (it does). Make up your minds
Heard this morning that both Conservative MPs and their tame journalists are being asked to use the phrase,
"Bloated NHS"
Expect to see it pop up a lot in the following weeks on social media and interviews.
I propose the 350 million per week Brexit dividend (assume that is still a thing sure I saw it on a bus somewhere). I calculate that should be worth about 8.4bn by about now just in time to rescue the NHS

178 people died from Covid tonight. 777 deaths in the last week. And some Councils (not all) refuse to provide any practical assistance to rehouse homeless people in a pandemic. Even if it was to lean in and provide a deposit. Shameful lack of joined up thinking.
Reading untruths about how easy it is for benefits claimants to find DSS landlords in London in the pandemic. Turning to Gwent (Witcher fans will understand)

And that's it really. Partner shielding, almost 800 deaths a week back to 3.21 when we had to wear masks and a lot of people now give a toss. Meanwhile the clients I have who absolutely should have vaccines won't. ok boomer 3/3
