Here’s my thing with #GunControl. I live in the UK, people have guns. The vast majority of law abiding citizens who want guns, can do so as long as they’re deemed medically fit etc and go through the proper procedure to obtain. (Thread, 1/12)

@CortmalawMoC @HistoryPegg @LNER No, that's the train he's currently on which will be stuck somewhere as the line is closed. Mick is the train manager on the train he is stuck on, not the train that is invovled in the incident.

@HistoryPegg @LNER Not that train!

So I now know what’s happened. It’s a very serious incident on a train at Huntingdon. Massive big thanks to @LNER staff on the 20:03 out of London to Leeds. Mick the train manager and his staff are doing a great job in very difficult circumstances. #Huntingdon

A bit when he interviewed various people and found they mainly are on the side of whoever their friends/family had happened to join and signed them up to, or based on the location of their nearest modern day regiment and that politics didn’t come into it much!

He changed sides some years ago but only because the modern day location of other members suited him better. Someone tried to make a TV programme some years ago trying to prove that all us Royalists are Conservatives and Roundheads are modern day Puritans but it all fell down…

@TheRestHistory listening to one of your episodes from back in the day and you’re talking about the Sealed Knot. Can confirm that one of my best friends is someone who I met reenacting almost 15 years ago, he’s extremely left wing but we “fought” for the King 😂

I’ve made my way to the other app now! Same username with the extra 🦋 bits if you want to find me ☺️

She told me to go and speak to the train manager but I couldn’t get through the busy corridors in time to them before we departed. I really wish there was more consistency.

I may or may not be about to get a train fine or have to buy a new ticket because @LNER station staff said ticket acceptance was in place when I asked them, but the announcement on the train say it’s not in place and the train crew member I asked didn’t know. 1/2

@melleparisis He was very talented as well as an excellent outfit!

The guy playing the piano is wearing he campers NFL ref kit I’ve ever seen and I’m here for it #OpeningCeremony

[Insert joke about the French waving white flags here] #OpeningCeremony

I have to be honest, I understand that this is prime time advertising opportunity for @Channel4 but it would have been nice if just for the opening ceremony, we could have seen it all ad-free 😔

I’ll be honest I’m a bit lost with what’s happening now 😂 this South African dancer is very good though #OpeningCeremony

These speeches man, I’m a mess 🥲😭 #OpeningCeremony

“The Paralympic Revolution”. I bloody hope so 🥹 #OpeningCeremony

They have to stop playing La Marseillaise as a flute solo and making me weep. It’s beautiful! #OpeningCeremony

@MW_A The Beatles

Name this band, wrong answers only #Paris2024 #OpeningCeremony

“Summer’s almost over y’all, soak it up” @russelled tells us as we party in the pissing it down rain 😂😂

Well I was fine until the very last BBC montage and now 😭😭😭😭 #ClosingCeremony

Gold medal for this man, please! #Paris2024

Not me having a little sob at such a heartwarming dedication to the upcoming Paralympics #ClosingCeremony
