🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 Yosemite. The Sequoias. The Grand Canyon.🇺🇸 A boy from Dunbar, Scotland made the world protect all of it. His name was John Muir. 🏔️ Born 1838 in Dunbar, East Lothian. From the age he could walk he roamed the cliffs and fields of the Scottish coast. Something about the wild world would not let him go. In 1849 his family emigrated to Wisconsin. His father worked the family from dawn to dusk. John wanted to read. To think. To study. So he invented a machine that tipped him out of bed at one in the morning. To give himself more hours in the day. 🕐 In 1867 a factory accident nearly blinded him. When he recovered his sight he made a decision. He would turn his eyes to the fields and the woods. And never look back. He walked a thousand miles from Indiana to the Gulf of Mexico. Sailed to California. And walked into Yosemite. 🏔️ He lived there for three years in a simple cabin. Emerson visited. Offered him a teaching post at Harvard. Muir said no. Sheep were destroying the meadows. Loggers were taking the trees. Muir started writing. Articles read by millions. In 1890 Congress created Yosemite National Park. In 1892 he founded the Sierra Club. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 In 1903 President Roosevelt came to Yosemite. They camped for three nights under the open sky. Muir talked. Roosevelt listened. Roosevelt went on to protect 148 million acres of forest. Five new national parks. Sixteen national monuments. ✅ All of it traces back to a boy from Dunbar. He never lost his Scottish accent. He died on Christmas Eve, 1914. He was 76. Did they teach you his name? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 Muir gave everything to keep what he loved alive. Our history needs the same thing. We need our keepers. proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Saying Jesus would have supported abortion is madness. This cancer will be the way Islam will conquer America. While Americans diminish their numbers promoting homosexual sex, slaughter of the unborn, and hatred of men and the nuclear family, Islam is breeding like flies.

"Jesus would be a clinic escort." A Presbyterian Minister just dropped a "New Beatitude": "Blessed are those who end their pregnancies." The Church is officially unrecognizable. Is this even Christianity anymore?

Can’t stand the use of ‘the HMS Dragon’ by so-called specialist Defence journalists. Our vulnerability to ballistic and cruise missiles has been bleeding obvious for 25 years They were told time and again Britain ‘defenceless against Iranian missiles’ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

Slovenia has capped fuel purchases amid shortages. 50 liters per day limit for personal use and 200 liters for businesses and farmers. Come back Nordstream, all is forgiven.

At the Serapeum of Saqqara, Egypt, 100-ton granite boxes exhibit tool marks suggesting diamond-tipped saws. Olmec (3,200 years ago) sites like La Venta show similar precision in jadeite carvings (harder than granite) Engineer Christopher Dunn proposes that ultrasonic frequencies, generated by quartz-rich hammers, induced harmonic resonance in stone, enabling "thermal disaggregation". Experiments by the Mysterious Universe team claim to have found that 25 kHz vibrations reduce basalt’s hardness by 60%, permitting shaping with wooden tools!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 A blind man built 180 miles of road across the Pennines. He navigated by touch and memory. His name was Blind Jack. 🦯 Born in Knaresborough, Yorkshire, 1717. At six he caught smallpox and went blind. That never stopped him. He learned to ride. To swim. To hunt. At fifteen he became a fiddler. He fought at the Battle of Culloden. He ran a stagecoach company. He eloped with the innkeeper's daughter. The day before her wedding to another man. 💨 He bet a colonel he could walk from London to Harrogate faster than a coach. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁹󠁯󠁲󠁫󠁿 He won. Five and a half days on foot. 207 miles. In 1765, Parliament authorised new turnpike roads across the north. There were very few people with experience. Jack was 48 years old. He seized his moment. He walked every route first. Alone. Then he built. Proper foundations. Drainage. Techniques nobody had used before. 🛤️ Then he hit the bog. Other engineers said it was impossible. Jack cut heather from the moor. Bound it into rafts. Laid the road on top. The bog held. ✅ Across the north of England. 180 miles of road. You have driven on his roads. At 77 he walked to York to dictate his life story to a publisher. 📖 He died in 1810. He was 92. He left behind four daughters, twenty grandchildren, and ninety great and great-great grandchildren. Did they teach you his name? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Jack could never see the roads he built. He made them anyway. For everyone who came after. These stories are in the dark. You keep the light on. 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 💡 Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

The UK is running out of drinking water. Yes, really. The UK is one of the wettest countries in Europe. Yet by 2055, England could face a 5 billion litre daily water shortfall without urgent action. So how did we get here? We have spent decades over-abstracting our rivers, draining wetlands, and failing to build new reservoirs. At the same time, temperatures are rising, droughts are becoming more frequent, and demand for water continues to grow. When it does rain, our landscapes no longer hold water as they should. Hardened cities, deforested hills, and degraded soils send water rushing into the sea - often causing floods along the way. But there is hope. With the right leadership and investment, this crisis is solvable. We can fix leaking pipes, restore wetlands, reduce abstraction, reuse water, and work with nature to store it in the landscape. What we need now is urgent action. It is time to declare a national freshwater emergency and deliver a funded plan to secure our water future. Because if we don’t act now, Britain will run dry. #WorldWaterDay

Revd Canon Fr Phil Harris† 🇬🇧🇮🇱🇺🇸
Since @BishopDewar’s open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, there have been many enquiries about the Confessing Anglican Church and who we are. There have also been nonsensical questions about validity, so I sat down with two senior bishops to get some answers. Archbishop Robert (@BishopRobert1) has just returned from Abuja, where he was a voting bishop as GAFCON reset the Global Anglican Communion. Enjoy!!
