GTP Engineering and farming

@1901gennelm @ThatFloWoman Came out of a load of soil from an old training Base nearby apparently. Currently underneath a load of concrete !

@GtpFarming @ThatFloWoman Are you sure there wasn’t an old Lee Enfield wrapped in an oily sack buried somewhere just in case of invasion ? 😂

Perhaps she thought it might come in handy.

@John46182440 @becksjaynee Worth going to the museum tour when there's not a match on

@becksjaynee Oh no! Off to lords for the first time next month! Is it that bad?!

@SiBarsby @SteTenzing @metoffice @MikeWel61647760 Been hardly any aeroplanes over my area today so how do they explain the clouds now?! Oh they can't!!

⚠️ Yellow weather warning issued ⚠️ Thunderstorms across parts of England Tuesday 15:00 – 22:00 Latest info 👉 bit.ly/WxWarning Stay #WeatherAware⚠️

@MikeWel61647760 @SteTenzing @SiBarsby @metoffice You've made a spelling mistake there sorry to point it out! Think you need to change the L to N in cult !

@SteTenzing @SiBarsby @metoffice @GtpFarming Yes, you are all idiots. You all ignore centuries of proven physics and chemistry to play make believe. Zero evidence to support your claims, just bold assertions and attempts to disparage those who call out your lies. You’re in a cult - an extremely stupid cult

@Jemimasgarden @pikobi1 @PhillipMPope @mitchellsnik @BBCSurrey The ones that roam very free on my fields aren't shot. I won't go into anymore detail but they are very tasty!

@GtpFarming @pikobi1 @PhillipMPope @mitchellsnik @BBCSurrey I've managed to survive without eating either for over 35 years so I'll have to take your word for it that lead tastes nice😂 I saw pheasant shooting up close when we lived in Norfolk and had birds we'd fed at the bird table landing dead in our garden 😭 A lot just get dumped 🙁

A 12-year-old boy from Addlestone, who reportedly became the youngest registered beekeeper in the UK, said helping the pollinators "will be a big step in changing the world". More here: bbc.in/4e14MJH

@Jemimasgarden @pikobi1 @PhillipMPope @mitchellsnik @BBCSurrey We should eat more pheasant though. Healthier than factory bred chickens!

@pikobi1 @PhillipMPope @mitchellsnik @BBCSurrey Or pheasants 🤔

@RobertJenrick What about people who don't get the chance to have overtime? It's basically screw them then?

People have asked what Reform’s no tax on overtime means for the Armed Forces Reserves. You won’t pay *any tax* on time served in the Reserves, where it’s on top of a full time day job. This will be a huge boost to recruitment. Thank you to those serving in the Reserves 🇬🇧

@PatHerbert2 @horbury14 @PolitlcsUK @Middlesaxon2 And crime mystery writers are?

@horbury14 @PolitlcsUK @Middlesaxon2 Plumbers are useful members of society.

🚨 NEW: Sarah Wakefield is the Green Party candidate in the Makerfield by-election She is a charity director and a Manchester City Councillor

@DaveDuddri26061 @archer_rs I don't know he seems to hide any intelligence he has quite well!

@archer_rs There's a full interview with him and nothing to hide

So it seems Reform Party Ltd candidate Rob Kenyon lied about being "a plumber for 20 years" lied about his social media history, lied about his antisemitic views, lied about his family history. Should fit right in with Farage in that case.

@ChappellJe13586 @archer_rs No you don't. My neighbour is uses his own tools on a company van. Only specialist tools are provided

@archer_rs Are you that thick???? Asking for a friend.... When you work for a company as an employee you use the company tools... When you go self employed or setup your own Ltd Company you have to buy your own tools... Simple logic....

If Reform Party Ltd candidate Rob Kenyon has really been a plumber for twenty years, as he claims, why are all his tools brand new and unused?

@alternativesay @VINUK2025 @leftyclowns @donmcgowan He doesn't know what it means for teachers as it's likely he's not allowed near schools!

@VINUK2025 @leftyclowns @donmcgowan How will you destroy this woke ideology if you can’t give me examples of what that means in the real world for teachers !!

I've seen a very dark side of this platform over the bank holiday weekend. I wrote a post supporting teachers — thousands of replies telling me that they hate teachers. Posts in which I called out Robert Kenyon's misogyny — thousands of replies telling me that he's 'proper bloke' and plenty of women saying they'll happily vote for him. Allowing for the 𝕏 Bot Factor, I am really quite shocked by how many people are so entrenched in beliefs I thought we'd left behind in the 1980s. Reform UK has dragged a sizeable proportion of this country back decades. Racism. Misogyny. Anti-education. A trifecta of bigotry being used to weaponise the far-right. Very disturbing but, thankfully, in the UK, it's only around 23% of the population. Not enough for Reform to win a General Election.

@TheMeldrew @leftyclowns @donmcgowan Think they were a punk band from the 70s weren't they!

@leftyclowns @donmcgowan What actually is vile woke ideology

@BlickyIan Not much point when there's hardly any buses in areas like rural Lincolnshire!

What if people identify as under 15 ??

@farmfriendlincs People can do number 2 now though!

Morning folks! What would you bring back from the 90's?

@AvinashMohanlal @nimishdubey Golf, snooker , decathlon.

@nimishdubey Tell me which other sport requires 4 or 5 days to have a result?? In today's world people can't invest that much of time on a sport! It's common sense! Cricket had to evolve in changing times!! T20 is the way forward whether one thinks it's the real cricket or not!

So true. I have never been able to understand why cricket administrators have used shorter formats to cannibalise Test cricket. We seemed to have a decent balance of Tests and ODIs till the mind 1980s and then suddenly we were ODing on ODIs at the cost of Test cricket. Then along came T20 and hit both Tests and ODIs for a maximum. All through the script was “we need the shorter formats to help Test cricket.” In reality, they seem to be murdering it.

@cashandcarrots We've got the American Mormons buying up land around here.

Years ago on here I was warning of Clearances 2.0

@SamaHoole You forgot to add the American Mormons are starting to buy up lots of farmland here as they've had a block put on the in the US due to them buying so much

Quiet question. Who owns Britain now? In 2023, around half of all UK farm sales went to non-farming buyers. The figure has been climbing since 2018, only easing in 2025 as the inheritance tax shock froze the market. The new owners include: Aviva Investors and Par Equity, who acquired 6,300 hectares of Aberdeenshire moorland at Glen Dye to plant trees and restore peatland against Aviva's own net zero target. Brewdog, which bought the 9,300-acre Kinrara estate in the Cairngorms for £8.85 million, killed more than half its 100,000 planted saplings in year one, collected £690,986 in Scottish Forestry public grants, then sold the estate to Oxygen Conservation in October 2025 for the same price it paid. Oxygen Conservation itself, which now controls over 20,000 hectares across 12 UK properties and plans to build a £1 billion offset portfolio before flipping the lot by 2030. Multiple anonymous shell companies registered in Jersey and the British Virgin Islands, hoovering up upland sheep farms in Cumbria, Northumberland, the Borders, and the Highlands. Beneficial owners undisclosed. The UK has not produced a public register of agricultural land ownership. Successive governments have promised one. None have delivered. The local livestock farmer cannot compete. A Welsh hill farm grossed £25,700 in 2023-24. A corporate carbon buyer can outbid them every time and write the cheque from petty cash. The farmer is outbid. The farm is consolidated. The village empties. The press release talks about nature recovery. The trees, in many cases, are already dead.

@WaltonBob @CWGC This isn't far from me. There's a small memorial to the Station next to the bridge

A poignant sight at Sutton Bridge, in St Matthew's churchyard, where there are Commonwealth burials (60 in total) - of both wars & war graves of other nationalities. Sutton Bridge was a RAF station from 1926, training pilots over weapons ranges around The Wash.

@Patriot1985B @HaddenBria98039 @NoresetRicardo @HiddenHistoryYT Fuck off back to your mums basement! Come back to us when you Yanks learn to play cricket and have some proper cheese

@GtpFarming @HaddenBria98039 @NoresetRicardo @HiddenHistoryYT Ive seen videos, i wouldnt tolerate muslim prayer in the middle of our streets. You cowards do. Thats all i need to see.

85 years ago today, in the freezing grey water between Iceland and Greenland, the most famous warship in the world died in under three minutes. HMS Hood. 48,000 tons. The pride of the Royal Navy for twenty years. The ship British schoolchildren drew in their notebooks. "The Mighty Hood." She was hunting the Bismarck. At 05:52 on 24 May 1941, Vice Admiral Lancelot Holland gave the order to open fire at 26,500 yards. He was closing the range hard on purpose, because Hood's weak deck armor could not survive shells falling from above at long range. He needed flat trajectories, and he needed them fast. He was three minutes too slow. Bismarck's fifth salvo straddled Hood as she turned to bring her rear guns to bear. A single 15-inch shell punched through her thin armored deck and detonated her aft magazines. Witnesses on Prince of Wales described a column of flame that rose higher than the mainmast, eerily silent at first, the sound arriving a moment later. Hood broke in two. Her stern rose vertically out of the sea, guns still pointed at the sky, and slid under. Her bow followed. Of 1,418 men aboard, three survived. Signalman Ted Briggs, Able Seaman Bob Tilburn, Midshipman Bill Dundas. They floated on a raft of debris in near-freezing water, watching their ship's oil burn around them, until the destroyer Electra found them two hours later. Briggs was 18 years old. He lived until 2008, the last man who had stood on the Mighty Hood. The Bismarck won the battle. But Prince of Wales, only just commissioned with shipyard workers still aboard fixing her main guns, had landed three hits before retreating. One ruptured a forward fuel tank. Bismarck began trailing oil across the Atlantic like a wounded animal. Churchill's order to the fleet was simple. Sink the Bismarck. Every available British warship turned to the chase. Three days later, at the edge of the Bay of Biscay, a Swordfish biplane from HMS Ark Royal, flying through a gale at near sea level, dropped a torpedo that jammed Bismarck's rudder hard to port. She could only steam in a slow circle, straight back into the Royal Navy. King George V and Rodney closed at dawn on 27 May. They fired on her for ninety minutes. Bismarck absorbed over 400 shells and at least a dozen torpedoes before she rolled over and went down with roughly 2,200 of her crew. The Royal Navy answered for Hood in 72 hours.
