@Tom_Rowsell @HuddsPrsrvtnSoc Miller, slumped like a student. His use of 'charisma' is telling - he knows Powell has something he could never have and attributes it to his 'office'. Charisma is a personal thing, not official.

@HuddsPrsrvtnSoc Because they can see the mechanics of selling something, they think it the only model of deceit and evangelise their special awareness - you put it very well, regarding the comms.

The whole interview is essential watching.

@hamlin_8888 @redrumlisa I am not sure we really have an 'upper class' in this era and Farage wouldn't fit that description in any era, he is very much low itinerant, mercantile/trader class. Most coherent, non-left thinkers have critiqued him for years.

[Downlandia @AngSaxon]

@hylozoician I can say I am at peace with this, that most people (certainly ones I know) are issued their thoughts in this modernity. A kind of relief not to have to grapple with it anymore.

The Decline of Britain's Chimneys and Fireplaces ⏳️🔥

Few stop to realise that the absolute abundance of newbuilds we see every day are lacking the chimneys and fireplaces which not only kept our ancestor's warm, but formed a very homely and familiar aesthetic. This short video alludes to the heartbreaking reality being imposed upon architecture, society, and seemingly, nature itself. As I've said before, if you disagree, please understand that those of us with this opinion are entitled to our say, especially concerning matters of preservation. I'd like to thank Seb and Steven at the wonderful Queen's Head pub (66 Acton Street, London WC1X 9NB) for kindly facilitating this video. Be it Britain's lost and living pubs, or our homes, the flickering flame has watched us strive through thick and thin for longer than it hasn't. It's bad enough seeing today's attack on architecture, but, to then tell us that something so normal should become a thing of the past is an attack on mother nature herself. Convenience is of course nice, but we should always have the option, and right to sit in front of an open fire. If you agree with what's been said here, then kindly share it to raise discussion and awareness among other like minded people. Join me here, or/and over at @Britains___Pubs to see similar content. You can also check out my upcoming tours that cover not only pubs but the extensive history surrounding them over at @PubHistoryTours.

Thank you all for your viewership, and support. It really is the fuel to my fire. 🤝

@julia_follin + sugar. Enough for many pies there, though.

@lucyjaynewhite1 Well put. The Act of Settlement sought to prevent foreign sovereigns from filling parliament with overseas allies. Parliament is now 'sovereign' and the parallels are too obvious (unless you are a sinecured journalist).

[Downlandia @AngSaxon]

@NisanyanHimself @millerman It is a bit of a tiring act, the I prefer Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker because blah authenticity. I think the idea is to give liberals a frisson.

@Fox_Claire @chatswithem Your conversation on Times Radio this evening was interesting. They are moving onto this ground (realism/the coming post multiculturalist vacuum), if at all, at a snail's pace, but each 'event' ratchets things a little.

[Downlandia @AngSaxon]

@Babygravy9 Unafoidable, perhaps.

[Richard Morris @ahistoryinart]

'Baron H.H. Thyssen-Bornemisza.'
Lucian Freud said his idea of portraiture came from portraits that resembled people. I wish my portraits to be of people, not like them.' It was Cedric Morris who taught Freud a portrait should be 'revealing in a way that was almost improper.'

[Downlandia @AngSaxon]

@ahistoryinart I think this one is stunning in that respect and more so when you see the paint up close.

[Downlandia @AngSaxon]

@colin_alex35207 Nice work - looks a very convenient shape. Don't know your finish, but I often spray with a lacquer and/or put microcrystalline wax on working boards, gives them a hard cleanable finish, (expect you've got it right for you anyway).

@zoebevan04 Chap who works at our local Onestop still wears a mask all day, on his walk in work and leaving.

@swagfrfrongod True. Cue the flood of non-contradictory other truths.

[Downlandia @AngSaxon]

@SebastianHHH420 @swagfrfrongod I rather feel one has missed the point.

[Downlandia @AngSaxon]

@husafell_stone Have been watching/listening Bolet over the weekend, thanks for the direction.

@GtpFarming @EndMassMigrate @mattyglesias Born on the Downs among farmland and I currently rent 3 allotments. I've got a fair idea. The subject matter was not my knowledge base, it was reason foundation.

@johannesmkx I wonder if she has ever moved house and if she expected that house to be occupied or vacant when she arrived, or did she just knit her brows and shake her head.

[Downlandia @AngSaxon]

@HollyGrayle And depressing to hear a long history of complex refinements reduced to 'fish and chips' and 'The Premier League'.
