For complicated reasons that have to do with attending secondary school in three very different school systems (private school in Scotland, the US, and Iceland), I never finished school in any of them.
That said, I'm not necessarily evidence that it's easy, and I was obviously highly unusual given my international childhood; and by the time you have a doctorate, nobody particular cares about secondary school qualifications anyway.

Indeed:
John David Penrose appointed member of the Advisory Board to discuss PHE being scrapped.
If the Tories want to edge closer to serious protesting, then this is one sure way to do it.

Also I forgot the bit about presiding over that massive TalkTalk data breach.

Peers will not be packing their bags and moving to York after a proposal to relocate the House of Lords during rebuilding work was effectively axed.
Boris Johnson wants the Parliamentary authorities to look at the idea of moving the Lords out of London while the Palace of Westminster is revamped.
But the body in charge of the project said it would not be considered.

‘Living with Beauty’ report. Heartening to see some resistance to the kind of anti-aestheticism that has been the most evil and most absolute ‘feature’ of post-war planning. Now the govt. must accept these recommendations and run with them as they replenish our housing stock. Antagonism to beauty is ideological, not practical - and an end to this could not come soon enough.
Very interesting reading for anyone concerned with our communities, planning, urbanism, etc.

there's also this doozy, showing scottish independence at 55%, english independence at 49%, united ireland at 49% and welsh independence at 32%. so i guess by 2050 the banner of the britishness will be carried by wales and cosmopolitans in london.
what an odd timeline. like imagine the scenes if scotland and northern ireland leave then england kicks wales out.
