@sirbenjaminnunn @juanifest0 @Benjaminbloom @OptaAnalyst That’s one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that he managed to build a team that - despite their failings - managed to over-perform to an exceptional level. Surely that’s the definition of good management-getting more than the sum of its parts from a team?

@ladygreenkirtle I don’t know where in the uk you are, but this painting is part of a special exhibition of Japanese woodprints in the York art gallery, so you can go and see it if you’re not too far away

@ATwinEarth @PresGeorgie @MitraHispana @BjorkBrodern This is before urbanisation, when the vast majority of the population worked in rural economies.

@Milo03c @ApplePi189290 Have you watched Tehran? If it’s propaganda then it’s the worst ever produced. The most sympathetic character is in the revolutionary guard and Mossad are portrayed as incompetent monsters

@RealPostFolder Not relying ‘to you’ when I say ���to me’

@pres_junior24 @ADFmagazine I was just interested in an African perspective on what looks like Africa becoming a pawn in competition between great powers, just like the Cold War.

There is no need to be rude.

[Daniel @danieljohn77]

@pres_junior24 @ADFmagazine It may not be a direct European-style colonisation, but the motives for Russian involvement have to be looked at

@JoseJBronze @ADFmagazine When were the Belgians in CAR?!

[Daniel @danieljohn77]

@pres_junior24 @ADFmagazine Do you not worry the AES nations may swap one colonial master for another with increasing Russian influence?

@20th_Centurygal Mdou Moctar, unbelievable guitarist

@BlackDumpling How can anyone see that cute little kid nail something quite difficult and be delighted, and come up with such a negative take? I despair at the world sometimes

@wing888 @matthewluciow92 It’s a stadium from 1884, although modernised along the way

@AuthoritarianNa @baxterjules7 @TruthNotControl @BotFinderUK No-one can point to Zaire on a map - it hasn’t existed for 35 years

@xmuse_ Thank you for this wonderful thread. As a collector of Czechoslovak postage stamps it is wonderful to see him celebrated.

@alancornett Not just in America, he funded the library in my little hometown in North Devon, England.

@The_Forty_Four You know it’s misogyny because I never see all this bitching when the BBC broadcast FA Cup first round fixtures.

[Daniel @danieljohn77]

@cycario @ZoomerHistorian We’ve done worse than that. Read about what happened in Clifford’s Tower, York in 1190

@_new_empire_ See also Alfred the Great.

@SpDapergolas @nogulagsagain Do you really want to say Muslim migration to the west is the same as European colonisation of the americas? Because one of those things brought disaster and death to the natives.

@akafaceUS For context though it must be noted that it is not only on the basis of race, but other genuine minority groups.

[Daniel @danieljohn77]

@akafaceUS It’s worse than it looks, as this is a Transport for London advertisement, and London is only 36.8% white, therefore effectively discriminating against a minority.
