Shackleton was born 150 years ago yesterday 15th February 1874 near Athy, Co. Kildare, Ireland. Athy is where my statue of @ernestshackletonathy stands, just beside the @shackletonmuseumathy, looking South. @reallorraine

Yesterday my brilliant LBC colleague @charlotterlynch was arrested by @HertsPolice for *doing her job* and reporting on a protest. It was a scary few hours when we lost contact, and I just cannot imagine what it was like for her being handcuffed & put in a cell. In Britain. 2022.
