'Mavis he's back again, singing the Horst Wessel song in the middle of the night.'

Brilliant, brilliant achievement by England Rugby, well done ladies. You know this all started with school sports partnerships some 20 years ago when Tag Rugby got into so many primary schools. A word for Canada who crowd funded their way here & beat NZ too. 🍾🎉

Summer is over, the world is going down the toilet BUT All Creatures Great And Small is back with a warm, homely hug. Thanks Channel 5.

The Volksempfanger (people's radio) was introduced by Dr Goebbels in 1935. The Nazi Party provided every German household with a free radio so that propaganda could be beamed into every home. Now does Musk's ownership of X and Fox News' interest in Tik-Tok make sense?

Some historical orthodoxies I'm not having. 1. The Anglo-Saxon settlement was all sweetness and light. 2. School kids need to be taught about the Tudors. 3. England doesn't do revolutions. 4. WW2 was largely won on the Eastern Front.

Sunday night TV and Freddie Flintoff is single handedly saving souls, communities and the world. Give this man a knighthood and role out sport engagement across every city in the country. This is what real patriotism looks like.

“the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” JB Pritzker is a mensch.

The new BBC programme Human is a proper goosebump natural history of our species. Brilliant TV. More of this please Beeb.

Anyone fancy helping out this cute doggie Henry who has cancer and needs surgery? If you can't chip in, please pass this on so perhaps others can 🙏

The last part of Wolf Hall was an extraordinary piece of British TV magic. What a performance from Mark Rylance. TV classic.

Hello Blueskylings. I thought I'd introduce myself by sharing this wonderful poem about hope and redemption. Have a lovely day.
