Caledonian Forest 120 AD ...
"Written by Titus Ursus, Primus pilus of Legiō IX Hispana, in the third year of Hadrian's reign (120 AD). This will probably be the last papyrus and entry in my diary. Our legion was ambushed in the wild realm called Caledonian Forest and was almost completely annihilated. Half of my first cohort is all that was left of the IX legiō. We were pushed into the marsh and we will probably die here, fighting bravely to the end in the name of Rome and the Emperor. We were attacked by a demonic pack of the barbaric Picts. They looked more like wild beasts than humans. Some of them were dressed in animal furs, painted with strange runic signs... others seemed to be two-legged wild beasts. They tore us apart as if we were made of paper! I saw our legatus and my brothers in arms being eaten alive, I will never forget their screams. The barbarians attacked us unnoticed, quickly and with wild fury, then disappeared in the fog. Mainly at night. Our shields, swords and armor were no use here. The enemy we face seems to be the ancient wrath of some dark gods we have awakened. We should never invade these lands. I hear demonic howls, they're coming! They're coming! "
Scrap of the papyrus written by Centurion Titus Ursus. Found in October 120 AD in the Caledonian Forest. Taken to Rome, where it was presented to the emperor and then burned. Two years later, Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of a wall on the border of the land called Caledonia, in north Britannia.

@LoftusSteve Dominc Sandbrook voice on: This week on The Rest is History we begin our epic new series on the Rayner premiership . . . .

I kinda want Rayner to be PM just for the LOLZ.
Like watching a drunk monkey drive a bus. I'm going to try stay well out of the way, but it would be crazy to watch.

Here’s a scenario. Angela Rayner takes over, the bond markets lose patience, we face a full-on financial crisis, way beyond the capacity of the IMF. And then what? dailymail.com/debate/article…

@SandyofCthulhu @AtheistTakes i think he meant people who believe in God and people who believe if a man says the magic words "I am a woman" he changes his sex from male to female. That seems to be how things have turned out (tbf i feel like Richard Dawkins is like "this did not go how i thought it would").

@AtheistTakes Why are the atheist standard bearers always weirdos with messed up lives.

@NicholasTyrone You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the right winger.

Caroline Lucas being seen as right-wing is a perfect encapsulation of how mad the Green Party has gone.
Oz Katerji@OzKaterji
Nazi grade antisemitism from the psychopath who runs “Leftie Stats”. Naked antisemitism flourishing in the Green Party now.
