The absolutely disgusting rot at the heart of British media summed up in a single headline. A wretched clique of pathetic, racist, servile dogs.

Teeing up another couple of generations of conflict in the region 👍

It'd basically be impossible to live through this and not become a hardcore fundamentalist, right? Like, what are you going to do, say blocking the damn sun with smoke and flame which taint the air you breathe and water you drink is a very non-Great Satan like activity for somebody to do?

I can very capably blame both.

Well we did want to know what victory would look like for him.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen. Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

As I’ve said before, the variety of sources sets this book well apart. More colour than any comparable book on the time.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Bugs Bunny’s Barber of Seville is a work of art.

A thousand times yes

The initiative will provide €325 (£283) a week to 2,000 eligible artists based in the Republic of Ireland. This follows a pilot (for which 2,000 artists were randomly selected from 8,000 applicants). ‘The scheme recouped more than its net cost of €72m’ www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

London - a massive multi-cultural success of a city ❤️ “Last year, London had the lowest homicide rate per capita on record - 1.1 per 100,000, according to the Met. This is lower than other major global cities including New York at 2.8, Berlin at 3.2 and Paris at 1.6 per 100,000, the force said.”

FINALLY some good news.

Something I do wish non-historians would internalise is that (modern) historians are not (generally) just making shit up. We do in fact have sources and evidence and proof of things which have happened in the past

This looks good.

116 children didn't come home from school that day. Never forget. Aberfan 💔

Well that’s that. Very officially done and dusted PhD. Cheers.

@bigandylock.bsky.social in action at the 2025 @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social conference in Bristol! Great stuff!

The eagerly awaited Great War Group conference opens tonight with a talk by Phil Watson on Haig’s command Philosophy.

Just having a lil cigar after a nice win on the road at Old Elthamians. A few scrums won against the head today, quite a few tackles and carries, loads of rucks hit. Very acceptable on a lovely autumn day. 🤘

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
