There's a story behind the above if you didn't already know. Musk has suspended an account that tracked his private jet every time it took off and landed, from publicly available information I hasten to add, nothing devious or illegal. The guy who owns the account, an American college student, tracks loads of celebs this way. The student, Jack Sweeney, posted a screenshot that showed he was suspended for violating " rules against platform manipulation and spam." His personal account was suspended too. Musk got annoyed, and said it compromised the safety of his two-year-old son "X Æ A-Xii", known as X, who was stalked recently when the car he was in mistakenly believed to be carrying Musk himself by a(nother) nutter. To avoid seeming totally paranoid and biased, he said he would deactivate ALL accounts that did the same. The above is probably one of Twatter's wondrous algorithms in action. SourceThe Santa Tracker account is not suspended as I write this.

I know, that's what made it so funny. Shows once again you can have good intentions (although that's unclear with Musk) but things have unexpected consequences.

I can't see that any of them begin with 'R'.

I can see your mistake, Martin. You thought this was a children's book, but in fact this shows page 18 of the government's strategy document. Now I admit it was probably a mistake to try and use a form of irony for the letter R and it would have helped if you'd seen, for example, the entry for the letter C (pictures of face masks, ventilators, hospital gowns, lateral flow tests - clearly alluding the word "Cash"). This page is actually associated with the proposed asylum programme and what is so 'clever' about it is that none of the forms of transport shown contain a single refugee.

My favourite email scam, ever. I found this in my spam folder today. English is probably not their first language.

And I hope that the Yodel icon just results in a lost parcel and not the alternative!
