The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

Once upon a time, Slavery was legal Apartheid was legal The death penalty was legal Imprisoning gay men was legal Beating a child was legal. Yesterday, a high court judge said sending vulnerable asylum seekers to Rwanda is legal. Never assume that legal equals moral or ethical.

This is still the greatest Christmas thread twitter has ever produced. Mostly for me this is because I spent Christmas 2006 about half a mile away from this exact M&S and am absolutely convinced this is 100% true. (It was also one of the best family Christmases we had)

Absolute crap some people write nowadays

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service

Make no mistake. The *massive* majority of BBC staff will be absolutely horrified by the treatment of Gary Lineker.

This totally rocks!! I can feel the internal smeghead returning.

Let's face it. They turn up expecting every entitlement. We give them free accommodation and subsidised food. Some even commit crimes while we fund them! They may pretend to integrate with us, but really they hate our culture and our laws. Put these Tory ministers on a barge.
