The BBC informs us today that We want to make it easier to have children - Farage. I have no wish whatsoever to know what it is he wants to tell us that we don't already know.
I've heard/seen him say it.
He seems to think giving child benefit for child 3 and above will do the trick, but I'm not sure how money makes the process any easier
I would think that if children 1 and 2 have already been accomplished then the parents concerned have found it easy enough.
As a child, and the elder of two, I resented the govt giving my mother money for my brother's keep but none for mine.
Presumably the thinking was that families should be able to support one child, but as the country needed more babies after 1945 a little financial incentive was in order.
Not a headline, but the start of a news item on you-know-where: "There are severe delays across the south Wales road network this morning as unprecedented levels of wind and rain are causing chaos on the roads". Unusually heavy? Perhaps. But unprecedented?
Local noos outlets just love the idea of apocalyptic weather, and the chaos (they know no other word) that results as traffic grinds (they know no other word) to a halt, causing heartbreak (they know no other word) to innocent motorists...

Why do we only hear about the boring motorists who have been found to be innocent? The guilty ones would be much more newsworthy.
I'm sure that the words gridlock and carnage (neither of which are appropriate) should be in there somewhere ...
You're right. I had a feeling I'd missed out a couple of obligatory words...devastation and/or being devastated by whatever-it-is are also commonly found.
This song was written in New York City
Of rich men, preachers and slaves
Yes, if Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee,
They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave.
@RockyRoger we obviously listen to very different radio stations (for those who don't know, Sleep Token are a rock / metallish band, playing at Download festival this weekend, known for always wearing masks).

To be fair, they sometimes get it right. In our online news today:
Boy, 4, dies in crash and (not as !) two men arrested.
We could see that coming.
Open to a number of interpretations ....
Tennis.
3% of U.S. workforce? That'll be a couple of million.- Or might they mean, of their own people?
It's paramount we know!
Jesus polished luxury vehicles at an LA car wash for years. Then ICE showed up.
Today, I see the name has been corrected to "Jesús." I'm guessing somebody got a call.
