Well - the entire crew of season two of #AdamRichmanEatsBritain has just been robbed. We were driving from Birmingham to London, stopped at a rest, stop in Barnet for exactly 4 1/2 minutes to use the restroom, and came back to our van completely cleaned out.
All of the filming equipment is gone.
Both of my suitcases with all of my possessions are gone.
Backpack with my laptop and all of my medications are gone .
And to make matters worse, because I have trackers on some of my possessions, and because of my laptop, I can see where these things are. But we have to wait here for the police. The rest stop won’t release the security footage until the police arrive.
It’s been almost an hour.
I’m going to share a few of the locations where I can see my possessions.
Reward for anything found.
Secretary of State @SteveReedMP visited Chamber Mead wetland in Surrey this week to see how nature is being used to clean up our rivers.
The Government has announced plans to ringfence investment to roll out schemes like this across the country.
I’ve struggled today, in fact I’ve been struggling for a while. I’m not looking for sympathy but want to make those who are “the great and the good” aware that the psychological trauma experienced by victims & survivors doesn’t finish.
@SaulStaniforth Did the tories not consider the means tested option but we were told that the cost of setting up the necessary admin system would be greater than any saving achieved?
@DENISEJOHNSTO10@BeattieDoug@uuponline Those who forced this situation should be considering their own positions. Too many reactionary cllrs and officers who don’t realise the world is changing around them.
Concerned about Doug's resignation. Who are the party officers opposing him and on what basis? Let's wait to hear from them, but if they're about stopping the party moderning in a liberal unionist direction, they are the ones who need to step aside, not Doug. Hope it is not that.

On this day 51 years ago. PIRA murdered my aunt, my Mums sister, Dorothy Lynn.
The IRA set fire to the bus she was travelling home from work on, on 4th July. She was 46 and a youth hostel worker. Sinn Fein 1st Minister designate Michelle O'Neil says there was no alternative.
The Neo Nazi ideology of combat 18 & the National Front must have no home in Northern Ireland or anywhere else.
This sectarianism and racism is appalling and utterly shameful.
Our beautiful, intelligent, kind, caring sister Maxine Hambleton would have been 68 today if terrorist cowards had not killed her & 20 other innocent souls. She lives on in our hearts & memories everyday. Maxine & the other families are why we fight because they have no voice
There is a habit that Ministers (or more likely their Perm Secs) have developed for attempting to overturn decisions - whether it is this ‘fundamentally flawed’ legislation or the incessant attempts to proceed with ARC21, all at significant cost. Why? https://t.co/zzy6s0QEtZ

SEFF remembers John Randall murdered by Provisional IRA terrorists, 26th June 1993.
John was 19-years-old, single and a soldier with the Duke of Edinburgh Royal Regiment holding the rank of Private and serving with the Regiment's first Battalion, from Langley in Berkshire.
I am disgusted that the memorial to Paddy the Pigeon was smashed last night in Carnlough. Paddy the first pigeon back to England reporting the success of the D Day Landings. Smashing the memorial is despicable. If anyone has any information please contact PSNI on 101.
Today Rachael from @niveteranscomm Office joined Mark Ewing from Veterans Advice line for Statutory Professionals (VASP) at Ballymena Library . Info sessions like these are invaluable for connecting with veterans & offering much-needed support. Huge thanks to @LibrariesNI.
Military History - OTD - Captain Robert Nairac - George Cross 🙏
Today we remember Captain Robert Nairac GC, taken on this date 45 yrs ago by the IRA, his body has never been recovered, Irish Republicans refuse to give information on where his body is today.
On 13 February 1979, Nairac was posthumously awarded the George Cross. The citation reads, in part:
“On his fourth tour, Captain Nairac was a Liaison Officer at Headquarters 3 Infantry Brigade. His task was connected with surveillance operations.
On the night of 14/15, May 1977 Captain Nairac was abducted from a village in South Armagh by at least seven men. Despite his fierce resistance he was overpowered and taken across the border into the nearby Republic of Ireland where he was subjected to a succession of exceptionally savage assaults, Nairac was allegedly punched, kicked, pistol-whipped and hit with a wooden post, He did not admit to his true identity. in an attempt to extract information which would have put other lives and future operations at serious risk. These efforts to break Captain Nairac's will failed entirely. Weakened as he was in strength – though not in spirit – by the brutality, he yet made repeated and spirited attempts to escape, but on each occasion was eventually overpowered by the weight of the numbers against him. After several hours in the hands of his captors, Captain Nairac was callously murdered by a gunman of the Provisional Irish Republican Army who had been summoned to the scene.he was shot dead in a field. His assassin subsequently said 'He never told us anything, He was a great soldier"
Captain Nairac's exceptional courage and acts of the greatest heroism in circumstances of extreme peril showed devotion to duty and personal courage second to none”
He died for Queen and Country and will never be forgotten.
LEST WE FORGET
