@thedeadcentrex@Victoria_Spratt@theipaper Tax free savings & pension plans haven't existed that long. Neither has minimum wage
You have no idea what you are talking about
@Heccles94 Lying again?
£230bn is the total UK grocery retail sector turnover, not profit
Between them the major supermarkets contribute c. £8b in taxes & make c. £8b in profit
You were told mathematics began with the Greeks or the Arabs. 🤔
Three carved chalk drums from a Yorkshire grave might prove otherwise. 🥁🇬🇧
In 1889 they were found buried with a five year old child. For 130 years nobody knew what they were for. ⏳
Then in 2018 researchers measured them. The proportions appear to encode a standard unit of length. 📏
Wind a cord ten times around the smallest drum and you get the “long foot”, about 32cm. The same unit researchers believe was used to lay out Stonehenge. 🪨
A fourth drum later turned up over 200 miles south in Sussex. Same measurements. The chalk ones were likely replicas of working tools carved in wood. 🪵
Not in a king’s grave. Not in a treasury. Buried with a small child, so the knowledge would be remembered. 🕯️
British people were measuring the world before England had a name. 🇬🇧
Long before we had a name, this island was measuring the world.
Help us make sure that our history is never forgotten again. 👇🙏

Very simple question that now needs to be answered. Downing Street have claimed the Mandelson/McSweeney messages were withheld at the request of the Metropolitan Police. The Met say this isn’t true. So who’s lying. And why haven’t the messages been published.
Female cyclist Hannah Arensman retired from the sport she loves, after a man in a women’s race was very physical & aggressive towards her
Austin Killips got off his bike and waited for Hannah 3 different times, pushing her against the wall. This video is just one of them
Mauritius gets everything in Starmer's treacherous deal, including all the minerals, and hydrocarbons, which could be worth trillions, in the Chagos maritime zone's seabed, which at 250,000 square miles, is equivalent to an area the size of France.
Mauritius, which in April this year revoked permission for the prime minister of Taiwan's plane to enter its airspace on its way to Africa, at the behest of China, also gets full control of the France-sized airspace above Chagos.
Mauritius must be informed of all the military operations, all the vessels, and all the submarines, nuclear, and non-nuclear, visiting the Diego Garcia base in Chagos.
All nuclear weapons will be banned from Chagos by the Pelindaba African Weapon-Free Zone Treaty, which Mauritius is a signatory of.
Starmer's deal only leases Diego Garcia, when other islands, such as Peros Banos in the Chagos Archipelago, will be needed in future to deploy assets on to defend the Diego Garcia base from the increasing threat of missile and drone attacks.
The deal was stitched together by three long-time good friends, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his Attorney General Lord Hermer, acting for the UK, and Philippe Sands acting for Mauritius.
What exceedingly good fortune it was for the three old legal-eagle buddies to be able to work together on arranging to give the 250,000 square mile Chagos Archipelago, and all its mineral wealth, which could be HUGE, and control of the France-size airspace above the EEZ to Mauritius, never mind the UK taxpayer being on the hook for billions to lease back Diego Garcia.
@SrChmiel4@KathyParr101 Most people who are now pensioners did not have the advantage of tax-efficient personal pensions or savings accounts throughout their working lives
Nor did many of them have the income. They started their working lives before minimum wage existed
The Nowak scandal exposes a deeper culture that runs through policing and politics alike: the instinct to pathologise public anger rather than confront institutional wrongdoing.
The Home Secretary talks about a “dangerous undercurrent” of commentary, as though the real threat is people being furious that a dying teenager was treated as a perpetrator, not a victim.
The PCC frets about “police morale” and “online abuse”, as if the reputational harm from criticism is worse than the moral harm of leaving Boon in charge.
And Hampshire’s leadership, instead of accepting the obvious — that handcuffing a mortally wounded boy and then trying to control the narrative is indefensible — doubles down on PR.
This isn’t policing in the public interest; it’s a political class circling the wagons around its own.
If you agree please share and support my work in holding labour to account.
@LizWebsterSBF Had the government been honest about the consequences of Maastricht & put it to a public referendum, I doubt that we would have joined in the first place
Brown even sneaked away to sign Lisbon in secret, after the EU constitution project failed
@Telegraph If this is true, it is literally insane
Not treating somebody because of the colour of their skin is textbook racism
There is a problem with mental health amongst certain demographics
It's a fact, not inequality
Give them the help they need
You might be saving more than one life
@Richard20617101@skscartoon@elonmusk But I bet that, if he was ever challenged by the police that he claimed it was a kirpan that he was allowed to carry
@chirpotle@LeeHarris Why has Nowaks phone footage not been released?
So murder is "giving better than he got" in your opinion, eh?
Too much eveidence piling up now that Digwa was an aggressive little cunt with an obsession with knives (& guns, it appears)
@afneil All awaiting maintenance because the synchrolift at Devenport has been broken for years, 9 Dock is refitting an SSBN, 15 Dock is refitting Audacious, 10 Dock is itself being rebuilt and they've delayed the obvious solution of building two floating dry docks for years
