Monday's rally was just one of several outpourings of public frustration after New York Mayor Eric Adams confirmed last Wednesday that the United States' most populous city would remove mandates requiring masks for public school children aged five and over and proof of vaccination to dine out or enter entertainment venues. 

I think I used all the spoons. It's easy to do. I don't think I'm giving too much away when I say there are fairies there who bring you things and do the washing up, so you can stand there shouting, "Bowl!" and one will appear like magic.' 

'We are so overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of love, support and kindness we have received, and thanks to the generosity of you all, our journey to bring Alex home is now underway,' Ms Shorey-Kitson wrote.

Bryant also filed a complaint with the school's Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights (EOCR), where the student activist claimed Bettinger had made the statement five times and had discriminated against Bryant on the basis of race. 

'We have attempted three flights over the past few weeks, each one of them cancelled as Alex's condition deteriorated further just prior to depature as the poison worked through his body causing further complications,' they wrote in an update.

He says Yung Filly greeted him with the words, ‘You haven't done anything to prepare for this, have you?' and Ruby Wax was ‘in letting-her-hair-down mode' but ‘not one of life's natural kitchen types', so ruled her out as direct competition.

They deserve exactly what every single other person above the age of five in this city and every single other person in this state is getting today. Join me in demanding that Mayor Adams unmask our toddlers,' she finished to the sound of the crowd chanting 'unmask our toddlers!'

Bettinger's lawyer Charles Weber has sent a letter to the President to overrule it, which was ignored. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) also sent a letter, which President Jim Ryan said it would be 'inappropriate for me to intervene in a case that has been properly adjudicated.' 

'To say we didn't push [the White House] to the brink, to say that we didn't maximize negotiations, it's just an uninformed position…it's just really unfortunate that people have put us in the situation,' Graves told reporters Wednesday.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated the bill would cut deficits by $1.5 trillion over the next decade compared with previous projections - but some informal estimates say it could allow the debt to swell to $35 trillion. 

'Based on Bryant's immediate and surprised tone following the second third party's reply, EOCR finds it more likely than not that it was at that moment Bryant first learned that [Bettinger] made a statement about protestors making speed bumps,' the report said. 

Protesters argued that the mandate is unnecessary because of the low risk of infection for those under five, and that the rule is 'damaging' to the emotional and social development of young children. Along with a vaccine mandate for municipal employees, the under-fives rule is among the only Covid restrictions NYC Mayor Eric Adams didn't lift last week.

He looks as if he'd quite like to bash sweet Laura with his rolling pin. ‘I bet she had very neat handwriting at school,' he says.

Gareth was a bit of a class swot too though. He says he was desperate to please judge Prue Leith.
