[The English Remnant @Englishremnant]

For centuries, families across Britain slept in what was known as a box bed, a wooden bed built into the wall or enclosed with doors, designed to keep out the bitter cold of winter.

Far more than a place to sleep, the box bed was a practical solution in cottages where space was limited and every bit of warmth mattered. By enclosing the bed, families trapped precious heat, reduced draughts and gained a little privacy in homes where several generations often lived under one roof.

These humble beds witnessed every stage of life. Children were tucked into them at night, babies were born in them, and loved ones spent their final hours there, surrounded by family. In many cottages, the box bed even formed part of the wall itself, helping divide the living and sleeping areas of a single-room home.

To modern eyes they may seem cramped, but to those who lived through harsh winters with little comfort, the box bed was a warm, secure refuge, a simple piece of craftsmanship that helped ordinary families endure generations of rural life.

Sometimes the greatest achievements of the past were not castles or cathedrals, but the quiet ingenuity that made a house feel like a home. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This violent shitbag needs finding, let’s do our bit to make that happen.🤬

Repost please as this should be easy.🫡

‘A railway worker had their eye socket broken in a brutal assault at Whitechapel station, police say. The staff member was attacked by a woman on the Elizabeth line platform at around 11.30am on Monday, June 29.

The perpetrator repeatedly punched the victim in the face and kicked them in the chest after being asked to stop vaping. The British Transport Police is now releasing CCTV footage of a woman investigators want to speak to in connection.

"Officers would like to speak to the woman pictured, as they believe she may have information which could help their investigation," the force said in a statement.’

Thank you Ed Miliband for giving us the most expensive energy costs in the developed world.

This is very true. My wife is Chinese and I've been saying the same for years. The image western media pushed for decades about China is the exact opposite of what China actually is.

There are obviously layers and nuances we could debate forever, but it all boils down to one question: how free do you feel under your own government?

Leaseholders have the right to ask how their service charges have been calculated and to inspect the supporting documents, including invoices, receipts and accounts.

After years of escalating charges, major-works bills and litigation, the phrase "incurred to date" that again landed in my post box yesterday is not clarity. It is an open-ended warning that still leaves leaseholders unable to budget, unable to plan and unable to know whether the figure placed before them is remotely final, something I touched on this morning.

A notice that preserves the right to recover costs is not the same thing as a full explanation of those costs. Leaseholders should not have to piece together their possible liability from estimates, provisional figures and carefully qualified wording.

We do not need soothing language.

We need the complete accounts, a full reconciliation and a final figure we can actually rely on, not life on hold for another year.

FUCKING NATIONALISE THE WATER INDUSTRY ALREADY. THEY WASTE NEARLY 3 BILLION LITRES A DAY BECAUSE THEY INVEST FUCK ALL IN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE.

Funny old world.

Berkeley is doing everything it can to peddle a product people are avoiding, offering furniture, season-ticket contributions and even private school fee subsidies.

The housing crisis is not just a supply issue.

People reject leasehold serfdom. Tenure matters.

Number of times Kemi Bay-denoch spoke out when the Tory Party closed 23 prisons, cut 12,500 prison places, brought the criminal justice system to the brink of collapse and released thousands of prisoners?
None, zero, never.
Pathetic hypocrite

Burnham won't be able to change our social care system until he fixes one thing: private companies sucking profit out of this essential public service.

Councils spend £34.5bn a year on care, but this cash is being sucked out of the system as profit and investor returns. 1/3

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

It's almost as if stripping local authorities of their role in providing not-for-profit care homes and forcing families to hand over £70,000 a year to private equity firms hasn't worked out all that well

we are an island surrounded by water with summer droughts and hosepipe bans.

we sit on oil and gas and buy it from norway.

we have wind and tides, we invented civil nuclear power, and we run an extension lead to france.

no other country works as hard as Britain to not use what it has

this is one of the most depressing charts I’ve ever seen

[leilani dowding 🌸🚜 ☮️ @LeilaniDowding]

I can tell you now. I will never ever forgive these people who blamed ME and others, saying we caused people to end up in hospital because we didn’t want the jab... That jab was poison. I stand by that now as much as I did at the time

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

This didn't even make the news.

[Thomas Standfield @TStandfield1789]

Kemi Bay-denoch, a cabinet minister in a Tory government that closed 23 prisons and released thousands of prisoners early, complains about early prisoner release.
Pathetic hypocrite.
