@PhilipArdagh @monstroso I’m 65! Never heard of The Newcomers! 🙄

I can remember all 25 but, then again, I wrote this.

@Heccles94 @monstroso Just Reform flyers or any old junk mail??

Return your unwanted Reform UK flyers to this address and it costs them £2.50 a pop. Pop this address on an envelope with the flyer in, and pop it in a post box! The more we return, the less they will send!

@thejournal_ie I’m sure him n his mates will be making money out of it somehow - no worries

@BBCBreakfast That …and cost of using NCP Car parks!!

National Car Parks has gone into administration, putting 682 jobs at risk. The administrator, PwC, said demand for parking had not recovered to pre-Covid levels, pointing to "shifts in commuting and customer driving patterns". bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@monstroso @JChimirie66677 They should’ve included a Weasel

@JChimirie66677 They’ve only been on the notes since 2016.

Replacing Churchill With a Puffin: The Quiet Erasure of Britain The Bank of England has made its decision. Churchill goes. Turner goes. Jane Austen goes. Alan Turing goes. In their place, wildlife. A stoat, perhaps. A puffin. A hedgehog. The consultation found it popular. The anti-counterfeiting argument was sound. And so, without a parliamentary debate, without a public vote, without anyone in authority pausing to ask what it means to remove the faces of the people who built and saved this country from its own currency, it was quietly done. This is how erasure works. With a consultation and a press release. Churchill's face on the five pound note is not decoration. It's a daily reminder that Britain has a history worth being proud of. That the people who shaped and defended this nation deserve to be remembered. And that national identity is something real. Hand over a fiver for a coffee and catch a glimpse of the man who stood between Western civilisation and Nazi conquest. The man who refused to negotiate when every pressure was on him to do so. The man who defined British resolve at its finest hour. Replace him with a puffin and you have made a statement about what Britain now thinks of itself. You have made it to every man, woman and child in the country. Without a debate. Without a vote. Without asking anyone. That is the pattern. It's always quiet. It's always administrative. It's always defended on its own terms, as common sense, as progress, as a neutral technical decision. Statues fall to angry mobs and the establishment calls it a moment of reckoning. Street names are changed by council committees and it's called sensitivity. The curriculum is rewritten by academics and it's called balance. And now the currency is stripped of the faces that connect a people to their past, and it's called anti-counterfeiting policy. Individually each decision is defensible. Cumulatively they form a pattern that is not accidental. The institutions entrusted with stewarding British identity have been captured by people who regard that identity as a problem to be managed rather than an inheritance to be protected. The long march through the institutions that began in the universities and the civil service fifty years ago has reached the point where it makes decisions about whose face appears on your money, and nobody with the power to stop it seems minded to try. The consequences are not abstract. A population severed from its history, its symbols and its heroes loses the connective tissue of national identity. It cannot defend what it no longer recognises. It cannot demand loyalty to values it has been taught to be ashamed of. Lebanon's Christians believed their country was too civilised, too plural, too decent to fall. They were right about the decency. They were wrong about what decency alone can protect. Britain is making the same error by different means. You do not need armed factions to hollow out a nation. You need a Bank of England consultation, a university diversity committee, and fifty years of patience. Churchill understood what was at stake when identity and resolve were under pressure. He said so, repeatedly, in language that would today be considered inflammatory by the very institutions that once celebrated him. The irony of removing his face from the currency of a country he saved, in an era when the threats he warned against have taken new forms, is apparently lost on the people who made that decision. A stoat will never evoke what Churchill evoked. That is not sentiment. That is the point. The replacement of meaning with the merely decorative is not a neutral act. It's a statement about what a nation values, made quietly, by people who were not elected to make it, and cannot be held to account for having done so. If we cannot defend the face on a banknote, we will not defend what that face represented. And the people dismantling it, piece by piece, consultation by consultation, know that perfectly well.

@MotoGP @ducaticorse But I’ve already written them on Kitchen Calendar …are you now going to buy me a new one, eh? 🙄🤦‍♂️

So shiny it has to be behind bars ⁦@UprightSpeedway⁩

Well done @nklindt for thinking about helmet colours with team colours - about time someone did! Red = Swindon, Blue = Lynn, White = Poole …Wolves yellow. FIM take note in SWC!

Things must be bad ⁦@SpeedwayGB⁩ …give generously 🤣

@Stephen78857051 Phil only scored 11 but had just won ht13 to sneak a 38:39 win 👍

@markesimm Correct👍

Looks like Phil Crump has sealed a win for Crewe. He probably scored a maximum as well. Crumpie was a 'King' @ Crewe😉

@SpeedwayShamble At least he didn’t do it Topless

Absolutely pathetic. Why wasn’t Samantha Fox asked to complete the draw?

@SNSactiongroup Well done: quite a morale booster

Unanimously Rejected!! #swindon #speedway

@TheAces Typical …didn’t even get 3rd Question! 🤦‍♂️
