Parliament once called it the most brilliant invention ever produced. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 It was invented by a man who fixed potholes for a living. On a foggy night in Yorkshire. Because of a cat. Percy Shaw was born in Halifax in 1890. One of ten children. Left school at thirteen. Fixed roads for a living. One foggy night in 1934 he was driving home on a stretch of road he called the death drop. The fog was so thick he couldn’t see the edge. Then two points of light. A cat on a fence. Its eyes reflecting his headlights back through the fog. He didn’t drive off the edge. The next morning he started building. A glass bead in a rubber casing. Set into a cast iron base. When a car drove over it the rubber pressed down and rainwater washed the glass clean. He patented it in 1934. Nobody was interested. Then the war came. Britain switched off every streetlight in the country. The whole country went dark. Percy Shaw’s cat’s eyes were the only thing keeping people on the roads. Parliament called it the most brilliant invention ever produced in the interests of road safety. Orders came in at 40,000 a week. Percy Shaw became a millionaire. Kept living in his terraced house in Halifax. Removed the carpets. Kept four televisions on in the same room with the sound down. Every Friday friends came round with ale and crisps. OBE. 1965. A road mender from Halifax. Britain has never run out of extraordinary people. It just ran out of people willing to help tell their stories. This is where they gather. proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Vegetables are not superfoods. They are the dietary equivalent of a participation trophy: present at every meal, given enormous credit, and quietly underdelivering on almost every metric that matters. The nutrients people cite: iron, calcium, magnesium, are bound inside plant cells in forms that your gut absorbs at a fraction of the rate you'd get from meat. Spinach iron. Kale calcium. Beautiful numbers on paper. Functionally approximate to eating the paper. Then there are the pesticides. UK vegetables are sprayed an average of seventeen times before they reach your plate. Not once. Seventeen. The organic option costs three times the price and gives you instead a different set of compounds the plant produced to deter the insects eating it. The plant does not want to be eaten. It has opinions about this, expressed chemically. Oxalates. Lectins. Phytates. Glucosinolates. These are not obscure biochemistry: they are the reason some people's joint pain, bloating, brain fog, and skin issues disappear when they stop eating the foods everyone told them were healing them. Here's what actually works: put the vegetable through a cow. Let a ruminant with four stomachs and 50 million years of evolutionary adaptation handle the antinutrients, detoxify the lectins, concentrate the minerals into bioavailable form, and hand you back something your cells actually recognise. The cow did the work. The vegetables were the raw material. Eat accordingly.

Keith the Apocalypse Bringer is personally responsible for deforestation. The report says this. The report is very clear. Goats are responsible for overgrazing, land degradation, and tree loss across fragile ecosystems worldwide. Keith is a goat. The case is made. Let's check in on Keith. 6:00am - Keith woke up in a field in Devon. The field has a clay slope with a drainage problem and a blackthorn problem and, on the east boundary, an oak that Keith has been visiting for moss. The oak is not deforested. The oak has been there longer than the farm. The oak will outlast the report. 7:00am - Keith ate bramble on the south bank, which was, four months ago, advancing toward the one stand of mature hazel in the field. The hazel is still there. The bramble is not advancing toward it anymore. Keith has been eating between the hazel and the bramble every week. Keith does not know about the hazel. Keith knows that this is where the bramble is. 9:00am - Keith ate the blackthorn regrowth on the west boundary. Without management, blackthorn advances into the field at approximately one metre per year, shading out everything beneath it, and produces exactly the treeless monoculture thicket the report is concerned about. Keith is managing it. Keith is not charging for this. 11:00am - Keith escaped. He was in the lane for seven minutes. He ate the ash regeneration on the verge. Ash dieback has been devastating British hedgerows since 2012 and the ash regrowth on this verge is secondary growth from root stock that is not showing dieback symptoms, which makes it ecologically valuable. Keith ate some of it. This is, on balance, the worst thing Keith has done today. Dave noted the ash. Dave is watching the regrowth. If it comes back it comes back. The oak is fine. The hazel is fine. The blackthorn is retreating. The ash: Dave is watching. Someone stop Keith. Keith is at the gate.

Are you reading this? Opt out. Tell everyone. Get it tattooed on you. Wear a dog tag! organdonation.nhs.uk/register-your-… Drugs used to paralyse muscles as they rob your organs. Rocuronium Vecuronium Atracurium Cisatracurium Neuromuscular blockers: Stop movement Do NOT stop pain Do NOT cause unconsciousness Do NOT affect brain Do NOT stop spinal cord activity Page 10, the standards state that the entire retrieval process must prioritise organ quality and transplant recipient safety, and that organs must not be compromised during retrieval. “organ retrieval / brain-stem death donor surgery protocols, and you are correct to question this, because practice varies and some protocols historically did NOT include analgesics, only paralysis and cardiovascular control” They only stop muscle contraction. And yet… these movements are seen in 50% of cases. More drugs given and they continue. WHY? These muscles are required for these movements. Are you feeling the pain and trying to escape?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Before 1830, nobody had a lawn. The rich had their grass cut by scythemen. Ordinary people had no garden worth speaking of. Edwin Budding was an engineer in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Working in a textile mill, he noticed a machine using a cutting cylinder to trim the surface of cloth. He looked at it. And thought about grass. He built a machine with a cutting cylinder mounted on a wheeled frame. Then pushed it across his garden at midnight. At midnight. So the neighbours wouldn't see. It worked. He patented it in August 1830. Within twenty years the Victorian suburb was born. The striped lawn. The neat garden. The Sunday morning ritual. Every suburban garden in America. Every cricket ground. Every football pitch. Every golf course on earth. Traces back to one man. In Stroud. With a cloth machine. At midnight. Right now, somewhere in the world, someone is cutting their grass. And they have no idea who Edwin Budding was. Help us share more of our history: proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

@PhilVaughan10 @LizzieRah @PepperCorn99051 I've thought long and hard about this very fair question. After just breaking my fast today I decided this I've just finished a British steak cooked in British butter, if I'm hungry later it'll be British oats with British milk & British sugar, I drink Yorkshire NATO std🇬🇧😂🤣
