East Berlin, 1 August 1960. I post photographs taken on my many Berlin visits in the 1950s and 1960s. 180 historic street images of East and West Berlin are in my book "Berlin in the Cold War" (Amberley Publishing.). #Berlin #GDR #DDR

Richard Osman has nailed Russell Brand here all ends up

Explaining Brands spin of playing a victim trying to be silenced by the establishment who don’t like him speaking the truth

The real truth was he knew he was a sexual abuser and the walls were closing in on him

This is absolutely right. I would add that government bonds gift big investors - eg commercial banks, asset managers, insurance companies - guaranteed income streams paid by fiat issue that could be directly invested in infrastructure, utilities and public services. This guaranteed income is the ultimate collateral which big finance can leverage for derivatives, repos and risk portfolios. Each nation trapped under money-market discipline is providing the creditor class with a solid platform for their gambling rather than making its country a better place for ordinary people to live in. It's history's biggest financial scam, folks - 900 year vintage - and our politicians are allowing it to crush our potential.

This is so ridiculous. No country I know elects government members directly. In many countries I know the head of government is not elected directly by voters, but by a directly-elected parliament (which is what the EU does)

11 November 1955. Cancellation of the Vickers-Armstrongs V-1000 military cargo aircraft and, as the VC7, a six-abreast trans-Atlantic airliner. "We have handed to the Americans, without a struggle, the entire world market for big jet airliners." George Edwards, Vickers Managing Director.

Also back to one of my "favourite" pastimes, of writing critiques of EU policy choices then being told an hour later that I am an EU-lackey who would never criticise it... ah well...

Happy Birthday to the wonderful English musician, singer-songwriter and record producer Andy Partridge who was born on this day (in Malta) in 1959. He is best known for co-founding the great band XTC. 🇲🇹 #AndyPartridge #XTC #SensesWorkingOverTime #RespectableStreet #SgtRock

Nine Tornado’s lined up to take part in farewell flypast over Marham and Cranwell. Thousands of onlookers gathered along the route to see the iconic jet for the last time.

Too big and too important to tax part 94. Billionaire spends $100 million to defeat a one off wealth tax https://t.co/vWmfwPi9b5 which could have cost him $12.5 billion. Voters said no by 55:44. He’s already moved to Nevada.

The Pembury Tavern
📍 90 Amhurst Road, London E8 1JH
🚇 Hackney Downs
🍺 £6.75 Five Points Lager

The Pembury Tavern is located in Hackney, East London. The nearest station is Hackney Downs.

This imposing pub has a history dating back to 1856 and for many years was a Truman’s house. During the 1970s, it was a popular live music venue.

The Pembury is home to Five Points Brewing Company, who began brewing in 2013 just a stone’s throw away from the pub. The five way junction where the pub is located is where Five Points gets its name.

The pub is a good size, with three distinct sections. The servery is centrally located, with a large, traditional bar area laid out in front. To the left is a slightly smaller seating area, while to the right is a cosy section with a billiards table.

The decor mixes traditional pub character and contemporary retro styling. The central area has a more traditional pub feel, with dark wood panelling, leather banquette seating and plenty of wooden tables and chairs. I loved the curtain around the entrance. The sections either side have a combination of green and cream walls, a burgundy ceiling and a striped pub carpet.

Zwei Tage nach dem Mauerfall, Berlin sucht neue Wege - im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Provisorische Grenzübergänge öffnen (hier: Bernauer Straße), fast zwei Millionen Menschen aus Ost-Berlin und der DDR besuchen am Wochenende den Westteil der Stadt.

It's hilarious that the Telegraph thinks that having fewer pesticides, lower nitrates in meat, and more real fruit in jam, are negatives.

We didn't fight two world wars to lose the right to shovel horrible junk into our mouths.

(The whole thing is a storm in a teacup anyway.)
