Piers Morgan was unfairly dismissed from his TV job for standing his ground. He may have taken money for his company—that’s how business works—but he has been a prominent voice in the UK and around the world for years. He isn’t always right, but journalism runs in his blood, and that alone carries a code of conduct he will never cross.

A group of jews confronted the Aljazeera crew in Golders Green. Called them monkeys and dogs. Then told police they felt unsafe and alleged the news would go to 'terrorists'. The officer's reply: 'I understand' Not the West Bank. This is Britain.

It's now possible to walk from Westminster to the Tower entirely along the north riverbank (only straying a few metres to go beneath bridges). First time in London's history this has been possible. Details on link londonist.substack.com/p/an-historic-…

When thousands gathered in Trafalgar Square last week to break their Ramadan fast, we were told this was Britain at its best. The message was that the UK is diverse, tolerant, and confident enough to make space for public expressions of faith. Islamic prayers were performed openly and unapologetically. Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, took part, and Labour MPs, including Keir Starmer and Stella Creasy, defended the event vigorously on the grounds of a person’s right to freely express their religion. ✍️ Lois McLatchie Miller Article | spectator.com/article/when-i…

The Rosetta Stone, discovered in July 1799 by French officer Pierre-Francois Bouchard during Napoleon's invasion of Egypt, became the key that unlocked nearly 1,400 years of lost language. The stone is a granodiorite slab inscribed with the same decree in three scripts: ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs at the top, Demotic script in the middle, and Greek at the bottom. The decree itself dates to 196 BC, issued by Egyptian priests honoring the young Pharaoh Ptolemy V. Because ancient Greek was well known to European scholars, the Greek text provided the critical starting point for decipherment. Stephen Weston delivered the first English translation of the Greek text at London's Society of Antiquaries in April 1802, and Hubert-Pascal Ameilhon published the first printed translation in 1803. The real breakthrough began with the middle Demotic text, when scholars Johan David Åkerblad and Antoine-Isaac Silvestre de Sacy identified five proper names by cross-referencing them with their Greek equivalents. Åkerblad correctly identified 29 phonetic characters from those names, proving the Demotic script was at least partially alphabetical. The hieroglyphic text proved far more difficult, as scholars had long assumed hieroglyphs were purely symbolic rather than phonetic. Thomas Young made a decisive advance in 1814 when he identified the phonetic characters spelling "Ptolemaios" inside a cartouche in the hieroglyphic text. Young also noticed up to 80 structural similarities between the hieroglyphic and Demotic scripts, disproving the long-held belief that the two were entirely unrelated systems. Jean-Francois Champollion built directly on Young's work, and in 1822 identified the phonetic characters spelling "Kleopatra" by studying the Philae obelisk, which contained both Greek and hieroglyphic inscriptions. Armed with two confirmed royal names, Champollion rapidly assembled a phonetic alphabet for hieroglyphs and announced his findings on September 27, 1822, in a landmark lecture in Paris. He confirmed his system the following year by identifying the cartouche names of Ramesses and Thutmose at Abu Simbel, proving phonetic hieroglyphs applied to Egyptian names as well, not just foreign ones. The full decipherment unlocked not just one inscription but an entire civilization's written record, silent for over a millennium. Since 1802, the stone has remained on near-continuous public display at the British Museum, where it is the single most visited object in the collection. Egypt has repeatedly requested its return, arguing the stone is central to Egyptian cultural identity, but the British Museum has so far declined to repatriate it. The decipherment of the Rosetta Stone fundamentally transformed the study of ancient Egypt, converting a civilization that had been historically mute for over a thousand years into one of the most documented cultures in human history. Before Champollion's breakthrough, Egyptian temples, tombs, and monuments were filled with symbols no living person could read, leaving historians to rely almost entirely on secondhand accounts from Greek and Roman writers. Once the phonetic structure of hieroglyphs was understood, scholars gained direct access to religious texts, administrative records, royal proclamations, and literature stretching back thousands of years. The discovery also established a methodological template for deciphering other lost scripts, and the phrase "Rosetta Stone" entered the broader language as a universal metaphor for any foundational key that unlocks a larger system of knowledge. #archaeohistories

Every time you let the standards slip you set new standards. We are at the end of a long downwards spiral of standards slipping. Look, everyone can believe whatever they want. It’s not about beliefs, it’s about behavior, especially when it affects others. Law and order has to enforce behavior independent of causes. Somehow, some causes seem to be allowed behavior that would never be tolerated from other causes. This double standard has to stop. Imagine the cause here would be flatearthers against indigo for selling globes spamming pro 2D plane slogans. Cities can only function when there is a basic assumption of safety and decency. We must be more assertive with enforcing tenable norms. @oliviachow, we need your leadership here and in all the other unprecedented stuff going in our cities.

Absolute lunatics taking over the Eaton Centre in Toronto. They are targeting a Jewish owned business, Indigo. They also believe that you should be able to lead a normal life until they get what they want. Full support for terror attacks on Israel.

Soon you'll be arrested for thinking about Palestine…‼️ The officer claims that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" is in line with the beliefs of Palestine Action, and could therefore be considered a declaration of support for the proscribed group!!! Let them know that they're talking shit— Complaints: Call Canterbury Police Station on 01622 690 690 and ask to speak to the complaints officer. Alternatively, you can complain online at. kent.police.uk
