@clampedbyAusar @RedWavePress I understand the words he’s saying. That’s why I commented. I don’t understand the love for a violent drug addict. If it’s based purely on the colour of his skin then society is fucked

WOW: Kevin Hart DEFENDED Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd Joke: “Yeah, the George Floyd joke, it wasn’t a tasteful joke to our culture, to our audience. But our audience that’s watching the roast — if you’re watching the roast, you get why they’re doing it. You get why the racial humor is on the table.” “I wasn’t shocked! Like, that’s what they do. Go look at the Tom Brady one. That’s what they do. It happens every year when they do a roast. It’s not new. It’s not a new, it’s not a new agenda, it’s not a new approach to comedy.” Charlamagne Tha God: “Do you feel like Tony Hinchcliffe went too far when he made that joke about George Floyd?” Kevin Hart: ‘It’s Tony Hinchcliffe! Like, I don’t expect less, I don’t expect more.” Charlamagne Tha God: “I feel like you’re saying, ‘Going too far is the point.’ don’t want to put words in your mouth.” Kevin Hart: “Yes! I mean, that’s why you’re there. And I hate to say this, but I’m going to because we’re being honest — people are talking about that joke. Talk about his set! Tony Hinchcliffe arguably had the best set, or one of the best sets.”

@CalebFromX Saint George was not worthy of one bit of sympathy or respect. The fact that the black community support that scumbag is frightening

Kevin Hart GOES OFF on his critics: “Stop talking as if I said it.. I didn’t disrespect [George Floyd] family.. Behind the scenes I reached out to Stephen Jackson concerning Tony’s joke” Hart Adds, “I don’t f***ing need to prove to people that I give a f**k. If you open that door, then that’s what they will expect every time” (Via Breakfast Club on Netflix)

@BuyEnglishMade Let’s not forget @CadburyUK is awful now. They’ve ruined the recipe. Palm oil might save them money but it’s ruined a brand loved worldwide

Cadbury was founded in Birmingham in 1824. In 2010, it was acquired by an American company. Today, much of the profit from one of England's best-known chocolate brands flows to overseas shareholders. The UK chocolate market is worth over £8 billion a year. If just 10% shifted to English-made producers, that's £800 million supporting businesses, jobs and investment here. We're building MadeInEngland.com to make it easy to find them.

In 1827, Michael Faraday told him to patent it. 🇬🇧 He refused. He thought the invention should belong to mankind. 🙏 His name was John Walker. An Englishman from Stockton-on-Tees. He had just invented the friction match. 🔥 Before him, fire was flint and steel. Tinder and patience. Every morning, in every home. After him, fire was one strike. ✨ Faraday personally travelled to Stockton and urged Walker to patent the design. Walker said no. He believed the invention should belong to mankind. 🙏🇬🇧 Others took the idea. They patented their own versions. They called them Lucifers. 😤 By 1830, Walker had stopped making matches. He had been out-competed by the men who took what he gave freely. He returned to being a chemist. He never asked for the fame his invention had won. He never married. He lived with his niece in Stockton. He died on the 1st of May 1859, aged 78. 🕊️ The credit only came after his death. He had given the world its instant flame. He had given it freely. He had asked for nothing. 🔥🙏 He was an Englishman who gave the world its instant flame. And he is one of many. 🇬🇧 Britain has given the world much. Most of it without a patent. Most of it without a fee. 🙏🇬🇧 Help us give our history to them too. 👇🙏 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

Galaxy has now replaced Cadbury as my daily chocolate fix. It contains the minimum 25% Cocoa solids to be legally classed as chocolate. Cadbury is simply "Chocolate flavour", and has cut it's Cocoa content to 20%. Have you noticed the difference?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Modern Wales was written down 600 years before it existed.📜 🇬🇧 By a Welshman who vanished into the mountains 🏔️ On 16 September 1400, Owain Glyndŵr raised his banner at Glyndyfrdwy and declared himself Prince of Wales 👑 The Welsh came to him from every valley 🐉 In 1402, he won the Battle of Mynydd Hyddgen ⚔️ By 1404, most of Wales was his 🏰 That year, in Machynlleth, he did something no Welsh prince had ever done. He called a parliament 🏛️ 4 envoys from every commote in Wales. Envoys from France 🇫🇷 from Spain 🇪🇸 from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 stood beside them. Wales had a parliament. And a prince. 2 years later, at Pennal, he wrote to the King of France ✍️ It is called the Pennal Letter. It set out what Wales should be 📜 An independent Welsh church ⛪ 2 Welsh universities. One in the north. One in the south 🎓 The Welsh language recognised in law 🐉 Welsh people governing themselves 🏛️ All of it written down. On 31 March 1406. This is what Wales would become. The English crown sent army after army ⚔️ Aberystwyth fell in 1408. Harlech fell in 1409. His wife was taken. His daughter Catrin. His grandchildren. They died in the Tower of London 🏰 By 1412, Glyndŵr was alone. He vanished into the mountains 🏔️ He was never captured. He was never betrayed. For 600 years, Wales had no parliament. The Welsh language was punished out of children. But the Pennal Letter survived 📜 Held in the Archives Nationales in Paris 🇫🇷 Waiting. In 1999, the Welsh had their assembly back 🏛️ In 2020, it was named the Senedd. The parliament of Wales 🐉 The Welsh language is now official. 2 universities for the north and the south 🎓 All that Owain wrote down. 616 years later. He hadn't failed. He had been early. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ He is one of many. The Welsh have been writing themselves up for centuries 🐉 Charter by charter. Parliament by parliament 📜🏛️ From one Welsh prince in a stone hall in Machynlleth 👑 Will you help us tell that story to those who need to hear? 👇🙏 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

As I have a a lot of new followers (thank you all for following me) a small introductory to who I am! I grew up on a family farm, which my dad (Farmer Clive) still farms. I attended Moulton College in Northampton, then Milton College in Cambridge. I worked on several different farms during this time, doing seasonal work such as potato stacking, harvesting, and irrigation. I also started growing early potatoes on a small acreage on my dad’s farm – harvesting and bagging them by hand, then selling them to fish and chip shops before the main crop was harvested. At 21, I applied for a Cambridgeshire County Farms tenancy. I had to do cash flows, business plans, a SWOT analysis, and two interviews. Out of 60+ applicants, I managed to secure the tenancy. It was 178 acres, and I’ve now managed to increase it to around 400 acres, Growing wheat, barley and potatoes. I’m still here now with my wife and our two sons. Look out for the next few posts explaining all but in a little bit more detail, I’ll also share how and why I got into doing this social media stuff.
