I have a weird way of winding down after a busy day - I watch cow hoof trimming videos on Instagram, the more abscessy and gross the better. It’s like a form of ASMR for me. 👀😌 What are your weird ways to de-stress? Ps. I am a dairy farmer’s daughter, so maybe that’s why? 👀

What a World Cup Pedro Porro has had! Defended brilliantly, attacked brilliantly. Always given everything for Spurs even when it was falling to pieces around him. Lovely guy as well. Deserves all of this.

Gorgeous evening run. Not letting the creepy weirdos stop me getting out and about on beautiful summer evenings. 💪 Small Chalice also put me in pigtails, which I’m not sure a 45 year old woman should wear, but there we have it. 👀

On this day in 1963, the first edition of The Dick Emery Show was broadcast. It ran until 1981, clocking up over 160 episodes across 18 series.

@Bushra1Shaikh They do but you run a risk going out in public as you are on the right. In many other Muslim countries the risk would be even worse. The once great secular/tolerant Islam that existed around the Med & Iraq & Iran is becoming a distant memory & even under threat in Turkey now.

Yes Phillip I totally agree. Funny enough, I first heard the American Pie single on a Jukebox in a bar when I was in Australia & I heard The Doors LA Woman on the same visit to the establishment. Wishing the very best to you sir ☮️✌️

@MungoJerryLTD It’s really a shame that the “radio edit” exists. Ditto for “American Pie”. In the latter, because all the lyrics are important. In the former, because the music (written by Robby Krieger) is much more important than the lyrics. The instrumental part is great, never tiring.

Yesterday's Britain, A Better Britain.
Tonight I'm having salad for dinner. When I was a kid in the seventies, we also had salad in summertime, with new potatoes 🥔 and either ham or corned beef. Outside of the summer months, Tuesday nights was meat pie, peas and boiled potatoes. It's strange what we remember 🙂

The massive mistake many of you made and still make, is to call them transwomen. The second you use that word to describe a bloke who’s wearing a dress, he’s winning, because you’ve used the word woman in relation to him. He’s not a transwoman, he’s a bloke. Call him a bloke

@mjc0ughl4n @WalshmrG 100% !! reform would come in Ireland but too slowly with the HOL stimying Gladstone"s Home Rule bills until the primacy of the Commons came about in 1911. By that time the Covernantors had replaced the HOL as the impediment then we had the tragedy of WW1 & 1916

Well the Irish revolt in 1798 is another example of why governments should reform injustices before grievances become revolutionary. Once violence takes hold, the opportunity for reform is lost and the priority is then the restoration order, as happened with the Act of Union. We sometimes forget that the United Irishmen rebellion in 1798 led directly to the Act of Union and the abolition of the Irish Parliament, just as the pace of reform in the Irish Parliament was accelerating in terms of religious freedom. The tragedy of 1798 was that the attempted revolution interrupted that trajectory.

On Bastille Day, I find myself reflecting on the great Irish political thinker, Edmund Burke. He believed that free societies are sustained by institutions built over generations. Reform them where necessary, but destroy them outright, and you may find that liberty is replaced not by freedom, but by fear and tyanny. His warnings, of course, turned out to be prescient. The French subsequently lived through the "reign of terror" in 1793/94. The power vacuum eventually saw Napoleon Bonaparte seizing control in 1799 and crowning himself emperor in 1804 thus replacing one form of autocracy with another. Burke's lesson for Bastille Day is that a society should evolve, not convulse. Reform injustice. Preserve what works. History shows that revolutions often consume the liberty they promise to deliver.

Argentina v England is important way beyond football. If Argentina wins tomorrow night, it’ll put real fire behind the demand for the Falklands. If England wins, that should put the lid on it — for now.

@WalshmrG @mjc0ughl4n Somewhat ironic that it was the Ameican Revolution that begat the French more cos of the finacial costs to France than anything else, Gt Britain has never had a revolution as it embraced reform albiet often too slowly, there was Revolt in Ireland but that was more complicated.

Right then … as Ross Clark points out, the claim that 2,700 people were killed by the heat is bollocks. (Technical term) It was presented as an actual death toll. It wasn’t. It was a modelling exercise and er.… not actual mortality UKHSA found NO excess mortality during the May heatwave. And in the 2 published ONS weeks covering most of June’s heatwave, death registrations were actually 918 BELOW expected. But the hysterical headlines pushed the narrative as if it was fact. As always, question everything.
