UK Online Safety Act remains undefeated.
Plus Wiki rules, Wiki Spin, and physicists get street cred!
The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.
And other new research findings.
Tis true: there's magic in the web of it.
With the usual mix of war, death, super heroes, a belt, and Wednesday.
It's an easy one.

Julia Crouch (diplomat)

[edit]

Hi, Mark Gould. I've been separating out the notable former pupils at The Henley College (Henley-on-Thames) into the various predecessor schools. You added Julia Crouch to the list in August, with a reference to Who's Who. I don't have access to that. Would you be able to check which school it was she attended? I've left her as "Henley College", at the moment, but looking at her age, King James's College is probably more likely. Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 16:38, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
