@WW2TV here having to explain to morons that the Second World War was not fought solely by straight white men. And, more fundamentally, that after the war, those who aren’t straight white men are still allowed to be experts in this field. Keep it up Paul. It’s a great channel.

1 Some observations about the guests I invite and the subjects covered on WW2TV. - Female guests get substantially more "down votes" than male guests. - Shows with a non-white guest get fewer views. - A female person of colour guest gets even fewer views.

Two complaints about The Hundred: 1) The team names are somewhat immature/silly 2) Flashing the words “oh yeah!” Whenever someone hits a six is endlessly irritating. All this being said, cricket on terrestrial TV is very welcome indeed. #The100 #Cricket

Here we go... Something @ZwhiteHistory has been working for a while & I am MORE THAN HAPPY/PROUD to support on. The Napoleonic & Revolutionary War Graves Charity. We are looking to do what no single organisation does, look after the graves of all of those who fell 1775-1815
Napoleonic & Revolutionary War Graves Charity@NRWGCharity

On the 209th anniversary of the Battle of Salamanca, we, the Napoleonic & Revolutionary War Graves Charity, are proud to unveil our aims as a charity to honour the war dead, of all nationalities, from the period 1775-1815. We seek to do this in three ways. 1/

@mcribbHistory You’ve made a mistake here Marcus I’m afraid. Wellington only fought defensive battles. Maybe someone else was in command? Simmerson perhaps?

Fought #OnThisDay 22 July 1812. Wellington's masterstrike, after parallel marching, he saw an opportunity & grasped it. Dashing across the Spanish Plains he launched divisions on the attack. The French army was in shock, lost 2 Eagles & went into full retreat. #OTD #Salamanca

@HistoryPint @cluelesspegg I started the evening watching with my grumpy trousers on, but it's cricket on terrestrial TV, there were kids in the stands enjoying the match, it isn't the same as a test match but sometimes a takeaway is better than a three course meal.

Thoughts on The Hundred? The Pint of History offices are deeply conflicted on the matter... #Cricket #The100

@cluelesspegg Sam would agree with you completely. He’s of the opinion that pandering to people who can’t deal with counting up to 6 is a waste of time. That being said, despite its clear ‘futileness’ bringing people to the sport must be good in the long run?

With depressing predictability, Sharpe wins with a massive 47% of the vote... @mcribbHistory is never going to let us hear the end of this. 🙄

@mcribbHistory @LandOfHistory @ZwhiteHistory We did a video a while back called “was Napoleon a Git?” Suspect you can guess the outcome. But it was the only video we have done so far that got actual objections to it. I’m amazed people aren’t full of conviction that he was a menace.

The Cult Napoleon have been busy today, here and Book-face, claiming absolute falsehoods, defending massacres (Jaffa), refuting evidence, presenting half the story & generally being obnoxious. Is there a full moon tonight? 🌕 @LandOfHistory @ZwhiteHistory

Is it just us that considers it bonkers that footballers continued insistency on spitting on the pitch (and live TV) isn’t objected to more? Pretty grim is it not? #ENGGER #EURO2020
