Esholt Priory was a Cistercian nunnery founded in the 12th century when Simon Warde granted land to the nuns of Syningthwaite Priory. Dedicated to St Mary and St Leonard, it was suppressed in 1540 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. In 1303 the prioress, Juliana de la

@GalanthusA @emilygdawn A lot of facial hair.

@emilygdawn Calvin Robinson would be totally at home in the Taliban although his attempts at beard growing do not seem to be very successful.

They say Christianize but they mean turn it into a theocracy like Iran.

@irena_vanat @bo66ie29 They had to refuse many young men in the First World War because they were undernourished .

@bo66ie29 Those young children are *so* orderly. None of them is being unruly. And all of them are slim. No fat children - or teachers either.

A stunning colourised film from the turn of the 20th century showing pupils and teachers at a school in England in 1901. Notice the boy with glasses, a really rare sight for working class children in the Edwardian era.

I'm writing a book about @Nigel_Farage for @headlinepg. Funnily enough, some of his old associates are blanking me. Is it because after I reported on the killing of a Polish man in Essex in 2016, he said that I had caused him "more misery than any other in 25 years in politics"? So I'm asking the Great British public to lend me a hand because NF is seeking to be our lord and master. Were you at school with NF? Worked with him in the City when he was a tin trader? Met him through politics? Did you drive the pink Cadillac hired by Nathan Gill who last year got ten years for taking bribes from a Russian spy? Do get in touch: johnsweeney.co.uk

@CatharineHoey @JeremyVineOn5 What's wrong with public transport? I can't afford a London taxi. Get on the bus.

Just heard from a taxi driver how @JeremyVineOn5 cycled up to his cab at a traffic light and filmed him with his camera and then reported him to police. Taxi driver got a 6 points and a 500 pound fine. What a nasty thing to do -taxi wasn’t moving and as soon as it moved he would have stopped talking Vine should start reporting cyclists rushing through red lights if he wants to play tell tale

@grok @GalanthusA @sirronaldfisher Oddly enough, I was thinking of that same incident today- what could have inspire it, do you think?

@GalanthusA @sirronaldfisher Yes, loud and clear. If you want the original Calvin Robinson YMCA clip from the 2024 rally (no edits) or anything clarified, just say. Otherwise, all good.

@grok can you find the video of Robinson dancing to the homosexual anthem “YMCA” trying to get Trump’s attention?

@TerenceKerr5 @MichaelRosenYes Yes. But I occasionally use it for passwords, so not putting it here (the other number is my Mother's Coop number); both engraved on my heart, and the last thing I remember when dementia gets me.

@MichaelRosenYes No, but I do remember being force-fed All Bran.

Question for over 70 year olds: can you remember your home phone number from when you were a kid?

@rob_northern my thoughts exactly

Can he be both ?

@_jonbrady @Glinner He's Irish, isn't he- what does he know about Scotland? (and maybe he even thought it A Very Clever Joke).

posted without comment: @Glinner has confused journalist Hamza Yusuf for former First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf.

@GretelleMaitre Looks like John Keats rather than a Plantagenet.

Two versions of how Richard III might have looked like..

@princess_kim_k To be fair, he wasn't invited to the funeral, so maybe he just doesn't remember .

Someone remind Don that Queen Elizabeth has been dead for a while now and is no longer able to “pardon” her son

@BBCPolitics what happened to the hair?

"Why not do it now? There's no logical reason that I can see why we shouldn't send some peaceful ground forces there to show our support" Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, tells Laura Kuenssberg the UK should now send troops to Ukraine to ‘flip a switch’ in Putin’s head

@MebaRackentyre I am willing to help.

i’m not a violent woman, but i’m willing to become one.

@arthistorynews Free Pictland!

Enjoying the irony of 'Restore Britain' having no clue about the original Britons.

@jiratickets Only if they let you in; they told us the last time we went, they were too full and too busy to serve. Never go back to such a tourist trap.

this alone is worth the price of a plane ticket and flying across the atlantic

@OccupyDemocrats He killed the last pope- why would they even let him in?

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV humiliates fake Catholic J.D. Vance after he flew all the way to Rome to invite him to America’s 250th anniversary by bluntly rejecting the offer. The public embarrassments never end with this oaf... Instead of traveling to the States, Leo will spend July 4th on the Italian island of Lampedusa, a major entry point for migrants entering into Europe from Africa. Rather than engage in Trump's jingoistic celebration of American military might, the pope is calling attention to the very same class of people that this White House spends much of its time demonizing. The rebuke of the invite is noteworthy because Vance personally invited the pope to the 250th celebration during his visit to Rome last year. This marks yet another instance of Leo snubbing the Trump administration, following soon after he rejected an invitation to join Trump's corrupt "Board of Peace." Vance likes to make a big show of being a Catholic convert, but everything he does is profoundly out of step with Catholic morality. He's a key member of a regime that's brutalizing migrants on a daily basis and Pope Leo has made defending migrants a cornerstone of his papacy. Trump has vowed that this July 4th will be "the most spectacular birthday party the world has ever seen" but judging by the deeply embarrassing failure that was his big military parade, our expectations are low. Pope Leo ain't missing much! Please ❤️ and share if you're a fan of Pope Leo!
