Bletchley Park was run by historians (Hinsley, Briggs), classicists (Knox, Adcock), musicologists, papyrologists, pure mathematicians (Turing, of course) — people whose degrees would fail Sunak’s test, yet who did more for this country than any number of well-paid City analysts

For @TG4TV's 'DeGaulle in Éirinn' - see this from the CIFF archive showing Kennelly, whose 1969 photo of de Gaulle in Kerry made the cover of Paris Match. The Kennelly’s would toast De Gaulle: "Up Kerry & Vive la France!" See https://t.co/GooXMXYoAk

Interesting fact to celebrate our 123rd Birthday. Arutan Batmazian arrived in Cork from Armenia in 1903
He set up sweet shop at the @MetropoleCork , ‘Hadji Bey Et Cie’, one of Cork’s most famous sweet shops, specialised in Turkish Delights. I love his quote @historic_hotels
