No they wouldn’t let protestors in on that day whatever symbol they were wearing as the man in the video explained. He also pointed out they were selling poppies at the bar.

I like a map.....and this one is splendid! I especially like Berik, Lester and Bermingem - a case of spell it like you say it ! I also approve of the kasl ending of Njukasl. I'm less sure of Sanderland. 😉
Ever wondered what 1980s Yugoslavia thought about UK place names? Another map for @JHCPAL From Sarajevo 80s Museum

The heir is selling some of his assets to build affordable homes. He isn’t allowed to sell assets for personal gain and will be taking a reduction in his personal income as a result
But Harry wrote spare and the Netflix and Meghan’s Dad and she made fun of the late queen and on and on it goes 🫠 Meanwhile the next in line to the throne is evicting his subjects to make more money… And Brutus is an honorable man. 🙄 Et tu Brutus?

A thread full of turnipy goodness. Do click through, there are some excellent snippets in it !
Time to dip into British turnip history. A thread on the turnip. In 1865 the pages of Bells Newspaper were full of top turnip advertisments.

It would be nice if the most powerful man in the world wasn't completely delusional.
New post from @LawDavF Trump has again intervened in the Ukraine war on the wrong side. How much difference is it making? What can Europe and Ukraine do to counteract? samf.substack.com/p/ukraine-…

I spent 22 years in the Parachute Regiment before becoming a secondary teacher. Believe me when i say teaching is the harder job. And I can’t think of another profession where so many folk who’ve never done it profess to know so much about it.

Meghan said a letter had been sent to the Met she didn’t say they were investigating it she said she was assured it would be investigated I’m assuming the Met contacted the police where he was living at the time so if it turns out to be true it’ll be their fault for no follow up

This might just be a Scottish thing, but when I was a boy, turnips were largely used instead of pumpkins for Halloween. Much more challenging to carve out a face.

Very embarrassing for the now Czech owned business.
It’s stretching facts to fit a narrative to call it Royal Mail just because a King sent messages to his spies.

A more solemn Percy Alert....the 9th Duke served. He died in Belgium in 1940. Commemorated here ⬇️. He was 27. He is buried at the Esquelmes war cemetery with the type of headstone that is usually found at war graves.
Looking forward to speaking at the Northern Counties Club on Hood Street in Newcastle next week about the NUFC book. It’s one of the oldest private members clubs in the world in fact - founded in 1829 - and they have some fascinating war memorials. northerncountiesclub.co.uk

The monarch indeed does not personally own the Crown Estate assets, the constitutional entity The Crown however does. Neither the monarch nor the govt can dispose of those assets so it would be fallacious to call it the Nation’s Estate.
