Towers will serve a minimum term of just 12 years and five months, Watson a minimum term of 13 years and four months, despite the judge admitting the "youth of the baby was extreme." Basically no one in Britain is OK with this EXCEPT judges and criminologists—why won't MPs act?

My friend who’s a keen knitter, told me she has a pattern for sunglasses.           I think she’s trying to pull the wool over my eyes.

Just a quick warning; if you get a DM saying ' hey I could do with a favour, can you vote for me in ..some contest.' It's a phishing scam. Do not open links. Block block block.

If you value our old fireplaces and the chimneys upon our old homes, pubs, and even factories, kindly watch and share the video below to help spark both awareness and discussion on the matter. Thank you. ⏳️🔥 🤝

The Decline of Britain's Chimneys and Fireplaces ⏳️🔥 Few stop to realise that the absolute abundance of newbuilds we see every day are lacking the chimneys and fireplaces which not only kept our ancestor's warm, but formed a very homely and familiar aesthetic. This short video alludes to the heartbreaking reality being imposed upon architecture, society, and seemingly, nature itself. As I've said before, if you disagree, please understand that those of us with this opinion are entitled to our say, especially concerning matters of preservation. I'd like to thank Seb and Steven at the wonderful Queen's Head pub (66 Acton Street, London WC1X 9NB) for kindly facilitating this video. Be it Britain's lost and living pubs, or our homes, the flickering flame has watched us strive through thick and thin for longer than it hasn't. It's bad enough seeing today's attack on architecture, but, to then tell us that something so normal should become a thing of the past is an attack on mother nature herself. Convenience is of course nice, but we should always have the option, and right to sit in front of an open fire. If you agree with what's been said here, then kindly share it to raise discussion and awareness among other like minded people. Join me here, or/and over at @Britains___Pubs to see similar content. You can also check out my upcoming tours that cover not only pubs but the extensive history surrounding them over at @PubHistoryTours. Thank you all for your viewership, and support. It really is the fuel to my fire. 🤝 All photographs taken by @VinnieSull1van Montage Music by Luke Uncaged

Of the estimated 6 million men who were mobilised, around 700,000 to 750,000 military personnel from United Kingdom and Ireland died during World War I, including my own family members. On top of our working class stock suffering incredible hardships, the British middle-class served prominently as junior officers, leading infantry charges "over the top". While the aristocracy and upper-middle classes dominated early leadership. Meaning that what would have been a considerable number of our real middle class, who were in a more likely position to have gone on to be artists, musicians, poets, architects, land owners, politicians, doctors, and a great many other things were wiped out. World War I acted as a massive catalyst for economic and social upheaval, profoundly affecting the middle class, particularly in Britain and Central Europe. While the war brought relative economic gains to some working-class populations through higher wages and full employment, it severely eroded the savings, status, and stability of middle-class families. As well as losing those who died, punishing inflation, rising taxes, wartime death duties (inheritance taxes) and much else squeezed the remaining middle classes who were already suffering from the war. There was also a devastating, disproportionate impact on the upper-class families of Britain and Europe, accelerating the decline of the aristocracy through heavy battlefield casualties, severe financial strain, and massive social change. Whatever your opinion is on the upper classes today, the fact is that we do not know what they'd have been like had the one's who perished lived. It also has to be noted that in Germany, the financial impact was even more catastrophic. This then happened again in WW2, decreasing each class system and therefore, the Britain that would have been. People often reflect on the major losses that both wars incurred, but I'm not so sure people stop to think about all of the things that never happened, and the people who were never born as a result of each war. Of course, this also deeply effects many other nations, but I'm simply using Britain and Ireland as an example. The vast majority of those to perish were our beloved working class who made up the bulk of Britain and Ireland's effort and bravery. Their reward, was to be thrown back into hell only a few years later during WW2. It's bad enough that each of them did not get to live their lives, but it's also a harrowing thought to consider the many legacies that went with them. Their ancestors had survived until now, only for a meat grinder to thwart all of their efforts at once. When you observe the Britain and Ireland of today, consider the fact that it would look, be, and feel very different if the world wars of the 20th century had not taken place. What a waste.

Absolutely right, Paul. This monarch seems fine with breaking with tradition, so why not start with a 2026 Easter message? He can find the time and energy to say As-salamu alaykum to the minority faith in Britain, so you’d think he might be arsed about giving a shout out to the home team on its most important spiritual period of the year. No wonder the Royal Family’s popularity is dropping.

Buckingham Palace has reportedly confirmed that the king will not be issuing an Easter message this year. Apparently, it isn't traditional for the monarch to issue a special message at Easter. Well, fine. But the king did issue a special message for Ramadan in February. So many Christians will understandably feel slighted. And many others will see it as yet another example of asymmetric multiculturalism.

I’m a royalist, a dedicated royalist in fact. However this King is very much testing that faith and loyalty. If our monarch doesn’t believe in our history and culture, what role is he serving? What are our armed services fighting for? Who is defending the faith?
