I want to see the French dressage team take on the British archery team.

A few months ago this white man went on a rampage in London with a sword.

He brutally murdered this child & seriously injured both members of the public & police officers trying to help.

Strangely, the right wing thugs didn't riot to protect this English child.

I wonder why...

🧵1/ Thread on the #Southport anti-migrant and anti-Muslim disinformation and propaganda. In this thread I highlight key spreaders of disinformation, the chronology, and some points about some of the inauthentic activity evident. I will focus on X.

Naughty I know, but you can tell who is/was better able to communicate with soldiers...

Randy does it again!

@hulmeroberts @antoguerrera And the arrival of the unelected king with armed force of infantry and cavalry while the artillery deploy in a nearby park. But it’s all fine 🇬🇧 😂

@StuartDenman Amazing film. ❤️

@Radiojottings Where do I turn to for the gayest coverage now?

@SteveDoherty1 Inshallah!

[Simon Rooks @Corvus67]

Deep Joy.

@Nick_Britten I think he meant to say Isandhlwana.

Ma is 92 today. And this is one of my favourite speeches in history.

@hugo_greenhalgh @WillParry5 I was there. What an atmosphere that night!

[Benjamin Butterworth @benjaminbutter]

So powerful to see. I marched in Ukraine’s first official pride march in Kyiv in 2016. We were warned of nail bomb attacks and excrement being thrown in condoms. These people are trailblazers.

@CHilton_BB I love this truth about our work. Not only are we literal custodians that pass on our collections and data, but our mindset is not like others: we think in decades and centuries (makes us feel better about backlogs 😝)

Such a great book: Vassall is treated with dignity and humanity. A spy, but victim too. One of my best reads this year.

[Alex Grant @AlexGrant24]

If anyone would like to hear me in an online conversation about my Vassall book on Sunday afternoon (tomorrow) - look no further! Details below.

Lovely evening at @Foyles last night for @PParkerWriting conversation with #DiarmudHester for #SomeMeninLondon Monumental! ♥️

@jamesjhistory I’ll discount Lawrence of Arabia as a “given” and propose “Wings” (1927). Has some amazing aerial scenes and the two pilot love rivals for Clara Bow get to kiss each other! (Pre Hays Code and before people got weird about male friendship) Some innovative cinematography too.

@RevRichardColes Does it go First or Number Two Class? 🤔
