Congrats on publication day, Eduardo Albert, Bede: The Man Who Invented England is out. The Venerable Bede first wrote of the English as a single people 1200 years ago. It's his vision that created the story that has united and divided Britain ever since. https://t.co/RhtIg8xVKq
@delestoile@DrMagier My husband and I, both doctors, reached a similar conclusion. A major trauma centre was minutes away. This could have had a dramatically different ending if managed appropriately by the police.
@kevinnbass Wondering the same. I donβt necessarily believe the police that he βwould have died anywayβ. If I saw someone lying (still) between a car and building the last thing Iβd do is drag them and force them up lest they are injured internally or I damage their spine. Common sense.
Britain is full of monastic ghosts. Street names carry them: Monks Lane, Priory Road, Abbey Close. The landscape, too, still bears the imprint of communities that shaped it for a thousand years. The ruins of Fountains, Rievaulx, Tintern, and dozens of lesser houses stand in fields and valleys across England, Wales, and Scotland, drawing visitors who admire their picturesque qualities while knowing almost nothing of the civilization that produced them.

There was pain in her voice. I too remember that moment, about her age, when I realized my parents lived a life Iβd never know, long before me.
A police anti-racism document should be withdrawn from use because it encourages police to treat people differently based on the colour of their skin, says shadow home secretary Chris Philp. He's speaking in response to a government statement on the murder of Henry Nowak.

@hannahsbee I have been feeling blue about it too. He was young. We donβt know how long it took him to die and he was asking for help and received no compassion.
In my own lifetime, I have seen the UN go from being one of the most prestigious institutions one could work for/at, to one of the most debunked.
