Eric Ravilious was killed #OTD in 1942 when the aircraft he was in during a search & rescue mission off Iceland failed to return. From the countryside to war, his depiction of Britain in the 30s & early years of #WW2 remain an incredible legacy, decades after his death.
It was the middle of the night, at about 1.30am, when Norway lost to England.
Yet thousands of Norwegians went to the Palace in Oslo and celebrated with one final Viking row.
They did not riot. They did not burn cars. They did not smash bus stops or glass windows of shops.
They smiled. The laughed. They saw the positive in their performance. They celebrated their heritage. They were proud of who they have been in the past and who they are today.
Norway might be out of the World Cup 2026 but they are in our hearts.
In the last three weeks, I think we have all fallen a little bit in love with Norwegians.
ChatGPT posters and flyers are polluting real life and driving me insane.

A British egg in 1955 came from a hen that had been outside that morning.
The hen had eaten grass, slugs, beetles, worms, and whatever the farmer's wife had thrown into the run from the kitchen. The yolk of the egg was orange, occasionally so deep an orange it looked almost red. It stood up in the pan when you cracked it. The white was thick enough that you could lift the egg by its yolk on a fingertip if you were careful and the egg was fresh enough.
The hen produced perhaps 180 eggs a year. The flock was small, twelve to twenty birds, attached to the farm or the smallholding or the back garden. Eggs were seasonal, abundant in spring and summer, scarce in autumn, almost absent in winter. A British family in 1955 ate eggs when the hens were laying and ate something else when they weren't.
A British egg in 2026 comes, in the overwhelming majority of cases, from a barn of 16,000 birds confined under artificial light at carefully controlled temperature, fed a formulated diet of soy, wheat, and synthetic vitamins, producing 320 eggs a year per hen by extending the lay through the winter dark months.
The yolk is yellow because the feed contains a synthetic carotenoid called canthaxanthin, dosed to produce the colour the consumer expects. The yolk does not stand up in the pan. It collapses under its own weight, spreading thin across the surface like a slow puddle.
The pasture-raised egg contains roughly three times the omega-3, twice the vitamin E, considerably more vitamin A and D, and more folate than the commodity egg. The peer-reviewed literature has been saying this for twenty years.
The egg has been the standard breakfast protein on the British plate for four hundred years. The modern egg looks like the old egg, costs roughly the same, and delivers approximately a third of the nutrition.
The British shopper, examining the box at Tesco, has no way of knowing this. "Free range" means the hen had access to a door that was theoretically open at some point during her productive life.
A pasture-raised egg from a small producer at the farmers' market costs approximately 50p. A commodity egg from Tesco costs approximately 25p. The price difference is the entire reason the system exists.
Find a small producer. Pay 50p. The yolk will tell you what an egg used to be.

🚨 URGENT
Two days ago I was contacted by a high-ranking employee of the French Government. After determining this person’s position and proximity to the French couple, I have deemed the information they gave me to be credible enough to share publicly in the event that something happens.
In short, this person claims that the Macrons have executed upon and paid for my assassination. Yes, you read that correctly. More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in National Gendamarie Intervention Group. I am told there is one Israeli that is on this assasination squad and the plans were formalized.
Again, this person provided concrete proof that they are well placed within the French government apparatus.
Further to this point, this person claims that Charlie Kirk’s assassin trained with the French legion 13th brigade with multi-state involvement.
Journalist Xavier Poussard’s life is also at risk. This is deadly serious. The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out.
I ask that every person RETWEET and share this.
I do not know who in the American government can be trusted, since this source claims our leaders are aware. But I have more specific information which is definitively verifiable, should they care to reach out to me.
To the brave official in France who did this because they were so moved by the evil of Charlie’s public execution to risk their own life— May God bless you. Truly.
Let all be revealed.
