@sbear101 @NiecyOKeeffe I’m so sorry for your friends. I’m sitting here comfortably in London and can’t imagine the horrors those poor families are facing in what is supposed to be the same country. All stirred up by 💩 💩 like Farage and Musk and that even nastier little squit Yaxley-Lennon.

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@NiecyOKeeffe And that’s saying something, Niecy. I’m clinging on by fingernails right now for the few good people still here. But Musk and his racist ilk are prising them off one by one.

@EdHillenbrand @archeohistories Wrongly colourised?

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@brianjford @DamianLow3 I stood for Labour in the locals. Beforehand I deleted precisely zero SM posts, let alone any accounts.

Did Nadine Dorries really just say “Conservatives are nothing if not loyal”? 🤣🤣🤣. #bbclaurak

@MichaelRosenYes @BBCRadio4 A very happy birthday, Michael!

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@NiecyOKeeffe Sorry to hear this Niecy. I hope you’re doing OK now.

Please help! I just left my favourite yellow cap on the train!!

At Leamington Spa (going toward Manchester Piccadilly, most likely tucked into the tray table)! 😭 @CrossCountryUK

Wah!! 😭😭😭🙏💛

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@oliverhackett @garrethmcdaid Or Guinness?

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@J_A_Aloysiusz @histories_arch Beards were fashionable in the 2nd century - Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius and indeed Septimius Severus all had one. The cap is a Phrygian cap, of Near Eastern origin and associated with Parthia and Mithraism (among other things) in the Roman era.

@NiecyOKeeffe To be fair you could replace the name Martin with a fair few European leaders - our own included - and your perceptive comment would still apply. They (we) are all just getting through this presidency, hoping to stick to a shred of principle while dodging Trump’s vindictiveness.

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@NiecyOKeeffe 🤣

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@MLAsAndTheLike @NiecyOKeeffe Fair comment.

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@NiecyOKeeffe @MLAsAndTheLike Nor mine.

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@NiecyOKeeffe @MLAsAndTheLike Wanting money but not prepared to work for it because proper work is uh the matrix. Surround themselves with an echo chamber other immature boys. No older adults to tell them to get a f grip. Terrified of their mums finding them out. Massively toxic but also pathetic and sad.

Stop in at 4PM for Saturday’s Read-Aloud: The Great Balloon Hullabaloo. When Squirrel goes to the store, he winds up on an incredible ride to places we'll only imagine. Stop in & see!

See you Saturday: https://t.co/I4iPfrUgFJ

@QTours2 @NiecyOKeeffe Ironic that still only one man has been arrested for sexual crimes in association with Epstein. And he’s dead. But with Andrew, watch this space. Several other lines of investigation are underway.

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@NiecyOKeeffe I mean, if you’d said twenty years ago that Camilla might save the monarchy…! Whatever, it’s going to change fast after this. Tolerance of all the entitlement is gone. The threads are being unpicked.

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@NiecyOKeeffe Tbh I wouldn’t bet on him not doing time. Camilla is genuinely hard as nails on VAWG, Charlie furious at the damage to the institution. They’ll sacrifice him. (And I quite like the idea of HM brother being detained at HM Pleasure). Fingers crossed.

[Peter Bently @PeterBently]

@NiecyOKeeffe Congratulations!
