This is how I was taught my values. Stories of heroes whilst being cwtched by my Mamgu.
School holiday exploring with my 4 yo & his Mamgu.

Cults of Personality are so un-British that I’m reassured that most people’s response to this nonsense is to laugh at it

Darren: This is the Temple of Julius Caesar.
My 4 yo: Who is Julius Seagull?!
*we emerge in the sun to find a seagull literally straight opposite*
4 yo *sharp in-take of breath* there he is!
😂 🇮🇹 ❤️

Never mind @TheCrownNetflix my 4 yo & I are currently listening to @imeldaMPBS singing The Highway Rat song & it’s an epic performance.

@SaxiAlpines @SmamfaMk3 @nicolelampert Unfortunately women’s rugby only just professionalised. Those that are paid are paid a tiny fraction of the men.
There are fewer strong agents & media managers too.
Sad. It’s not the message I’d like to see pushed to the girls in our Rugbytots class.

@SmamfaMk3 @nicolelampert Possibly to do with getting funding or sponsorship for the sport? Arms twisted by officialdom?

There’s a new campaign to get teenage girls into sport. Called #strongisbeautiful it’s been kicked off by Team GB rugby players posing in lingerie.
Feels really regressive and sexist to me.
Maybe I’m old.

@nicolelampert It’s a shame because the Home Unions have done hard work in placing women’s Rugby as about strength, skill, controlled aggression & just as entertaining.
This looks like titillation.
Surprised they went for this but it’s an area with fewer media managers & strong agents.

By day I’m pouring over medical records.
But in the long Summer evenings I’m working PRO BONO for the Welsh Rugby Union!

I wouldn’t trust incompetent @JamesCleverly & @RishiSunak with a draft excluder.

"No one's going to jail over this." Home Secretary @JamesCleverly says the Tories' mandatory National Service plans are "about building a network across society" and also confirms volunteering won't be paid. #TrevorPhillips trib.al/wkmumC6 📺 Sky 501 / YouTube

National Service is to the Right what Revolutionary Politics is to the Left.
Both are proposed by older or weedy men who don’t intend to do any of the fighting themselves… it’s for others to get their hands dirty.
It’s pathetic. They’re pathetic.
