As we consider the Bayeux Embroidery we should remember the many killed by this French invasion. English men and women had their lands stolen. Many were put into serfdom by a new Norman governing class.
@mgtruth@bbc5live When Nolan first appeared on 5live he was quite good, came across as a knowledgeable devil's advocate in debates. Now seems to have reverted to his radio ulster type personna.
Josh Bennett, a 13-year-old, was beaten up by a group of kids because he refused to give them his new Champions League football.** Five of them punched and kicked him, took the ball, and ran off. The whole ordeal left him too afraid to leave the house.
But, in a wonderful turn of events, Josh has now received thousands of messages of love and support from people and athletes all over the world. Hundreds of people have offered to buy him a new football, he’s been sent signed shirts and medals and has even been offered some professional football training.
Josh was also asked to be a match-day mascot for Swansea City over the weekend - and scored penalties alongside the team at halftime. After seeing so many acts of kindness, Josh told his mum: “The bullies haven’t won!”
