When the Falklands last held a referendum in 2013, some 99.8% of islanders voted to remain part of the UK, on a 92% turnout. Three people voted against.
Will Gary Lineker be volunteering to go and tell the Falklanders that he disputes their right to self-determination?
Fishermen off the Suffolk coast say they can hear church bells ringing underwater.🇬🇧🔔🌊
They say it means a storm is coming. And that no sailor should put to sea.
Because under those waves lies one of England's greatest cities.
In the 13th century, Dunwich was the size of London. Eight churches. A mint. A harbour so powerful the King demanded forty warships from it.
An eighth of the entire English fleet. It was the sixth wealthiest city in the country.
Then in 1286, a storm surge hit like nothing before. Another in 1287. Then another. A quarter of the city vanished in a single night. Three churches swallowed whole. Four hundred houses gone.
And the sea kept coming.
By 1831, Dunwich had thirty-two voters, forty-four houses, and two Members of Parliament. Manchester had two hundred thousand people. And no MPs at all.
The last medieval church, All Saints, clung to the cliff edge for centuries. In 1919, it finally fell. Bones from its graveyard still tumble from the cliff today.
Everyone assumed it was gone.
In 2008, scientists pointed sonar at the seabed off Suffolk.
Churches. Streets. A town hall. The largest medieval underwater city in Europe. Less than a mile from shore.
Still there.
