A few months ago this white man went on a rampage in London with a sword.
He brutally murdered this child & seriously injured both members of the public & police officers trying to help.
Strangely, the right wing thugs didn't riot to protect this English child.
I wonder why...

@hulmeroberts @antoguerrera And the arrival of the unelected king with armed force of infantry and cavalry while the artillery deploy in a nearby park. But it’s all fine 🇬🇧 😂

@antoguerrera You left out the bit where an MP is taken hostage while the monarch is in parliament

Il primo ministro, il leader dell’opposizione e i loro vice che, nonostante divisioni, divergenze e attacchi reciproci, scherzano e chiacchierano amichevolmente prima del Discorso del Re in Parlamento.

In 1966 there really was no escape from the election night coverage on BBC radio. Home Service was 'fastest', Light Programme 'gayest' and the Third Programme 'fullest'

So powerful to see. I marched in Ukraine’s first official pride march in Kyiv in 2016. We were warned of nail bomb attacks and excrement being thrown in condoms. These people are trailblazers.

LGBTQ+ members of Ukraine's Armed Forces march in Kyiv this morning during the Equality March held by Kyiv Pride. Roughly 500 people showed up, a small turnout compared to pre-war years

@CHilton_BB I love this truth about our work. Not only are we literal custodians that pass on our collections and data, but our mindset is not like others: we think in decades and centuries (makes us feel better about backlogs 😝)

Such a great book: Vassall is treated with dignity and humanity. A spy, but victim too. One of my best reads this year.

@jamesjhistory I’ll discount Lawrence of Arabia as a “given” and propose “Wings” (1927). Has some amazing aerial scenes and the two pilot love rivals for Clara Bow get to kiss each other! (Pre Hays Code and before people got weird about male friendship) Some innovative cinematography too.
