If he pulled them up any higher, he'd have to cut armholes in the sides.

surprised to find out that the same Patrick Moore who had his own reactionary nutjob political party in the 1970s is still a bit of a reactionary nutjob. good to see the Mail keeping on top of things.

the writing is so so bad at the daily mail. like, it shouldn't have to be that bad, that inept, that clumsy.

Definitely a theme emerging.

The writing isn't great at the Mail but it's pretty clear that the journalists are being told to throw things together in ten minutes.

The only good thing you can say about the paper is that it does give a start to a lot of young, inexperienced trainee writers who might struggle to get a foot in the door anywhere else. There's going to be a lack of professionalism.

"The German slogan “Arbeit Macht Frei” is somewhat tainted by its connection with Nazi concentration camps, but its essential message, “work sets you free” still has something serious to commend it."

There is dignity to be gained from any job, no matter how menial, and for young people at the start of their careers, there are valuable lessons to be learned from any form of employment, whether that is on the factory floor, on a supermarket till or in the contemporary hard labour camp of a merchant bank or law office.

So much to unpack in this sentence too
