They were outnumbered six to one. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ซ๐ท
Starving. Sick. Exhausted.
The French looked across the field and laughed.
They weren't even soldiers. They were farmers.
But those farmers had something nobody else in the world had.
The Welsh longbow.
A weapon so powerful nobody else knew how to make it. So demanding it took a lifetime to learn. So devastating that what happened next changed Europe forever.
The French had the greatest army on the continent. The finest nobility in France. They were so confident they argued over who would capture the English king.
Then the arrows fell.
Twelve per minute. Per archer.
Thousands of arrows. The sky went dark.
The French charged. Into mud.
Arrows punched through plate armour. Horses screamed. Knights fell face-down in the mire and couldn't stand up.
The archers dropped their bows.
Drew swords and mallets.
And went to work.
Three dukes. Dead.
Ninety counts. Dead.
Over 1,500 knights. Dead.
English dead? A few hundred.
The greatest army in Europe. Destroyed by farmers with bows.
25th October 1415.
That's not just a battle. Our history.

Be Proud Of Us. ๐ฌ๐ง
They told you this country has nothing to be proud of.
They were wrong. ๐ฌ๐ง
2,300 years ago, Greek explorer Pytheas of Massalia sailed to these islands. He found Cornish tin miners already trading with the ancient world, and Stonehenge, built before the pyramids of Giza. He named us Pretannike. The Painted Isles. Britain.
That's a snippet of who we were. Here is what we built:
๐ Isaac Newton, a farmer's son from Lincolnshire, gave us the laws of the universe.
โก Michael Faraday, a blacksmith's son from Surrey, made electricity usable.
๐ Edward Jenner, a country doctor from Gloucestershire, gave the world vaccination.
๐งซ Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin, saving over 200 million lives.
๐ป Alan Turing broke the Enigma code at Bletchley Park.
๐ Charles Babbage & George Stephenson pioneered the computer and the railway.
๐ Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. He could have patented it and become the richest person alive. He gave it away for free.
We are the ordinary people who forced the most powerful empire on Earth to end slavery. Not once, but twice:
๐ The Slave Trade Act 1807
๐ The Slavery Abolition Act 1833
Then, we sent the Royal Navy to enforce it globally.
The West Africa Squadron patrolled for 60 years. They captured 1,600 slave ships and freed 150,000 people. 7,000 British sailors died doing it. Nobody asked them to.
No other nation joined them. They did it anyway.๐ฌ๐ง๐ซก
That's a snippet of what we chose to do. Here is what we gave the world:
โ๏ธ Magna Carta (1215) & Habeas Corpus
๐๏ธ Parliamentary Democracy
๐ Common Law, now used by 80 countries and 3 billion people
๐ค The Commonwealth. 56 nations.
They weren't forced to stay. They chose to join.
We are on a mission to bring back our glorious history.
Not to pretend we never did wrong, but to show the enormous amount of right.
Every fact verifiable. Every claim true.
We are Britain. We are mighty.
Every video we make is funded by people who believe our history is worth saving.
Stand with us: https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf
Be part of us.
Be Proud Of Us. ๐ฌ๐ง

@mwtonge Lots to be positive about and future bright with Bo Nix. Smart we also have our defense under contract for years to come. A weapon or 2 at WR/RB/TE and we will be a force. Interested to see who takes over if Vance gets a Head Coach job.. Jim Leonhard a good choice
@ColumFromCork@BroncosEUR Such a shame to end like this after a great season.. Defense was great but the fumble was the killer play.. we win that game with Bo Nix
๐๐๐๐!!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐!!!
Cooper gets up to Maye and brings him down forcing the Pats to kick a lead-taking FG. Huge hold there by the Broncos D!
