@ClarkeMicah @SpaceAgeMark When I drank it in St Petersburg it was straight out of the freezer

.@spaceagemark. Well, maybe you've gone soft, then. When I drank vodka in the homes of Russian friends, it was room teperature. When I drank it in Russian restaurants it was room temperature.

Patriots in one part of Yorkshire last night!

“Cow farts are destroying the planet.”

This is massively disingenuous. Lamb costs have soared because input costs to farmers have gone up. The number of abattoirs has significantly dropped…and supermarkets are setting prices that fleece consumers.

Let’s talk about fertiliser. Because before the screeching MSM roll out their fear headlines, the details are key. Fertiliser is the foundation of food supply. No fertiliser means lower yields and higher prices. Simple. ▪️Britain doesn’t produce its own fertiliser anymore. Because it’s incredibly energy intensive to make, gas alone makes up 60–70% of the cost. Then we bolt on high carbon taxes, it means production simply isn’t economic. Most plants shut down… and we import instead. (So we look like are carbon footprint has gone down) Then it gets mental! ▪️ the government is about to introduce CBAM (the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) this taxes imports up to 24% based on their carbon footprint, to protect domestic producers…. Only we don’t have a domestic industry left because of point number 1. So it’s just a straight tax. ▪️War in Iran has now vastly increased energy costs and therefore fertiliser prices. Farmers either pay more or use less. And when they use less, yields drop. That directly hits food prices. We currently import from North Africa Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Israel, Jordan, US and Caribbean & some remaining European supply So when you see “food price rises” headlines be aware that successive governments blindly following Agenda 2030 sustainable development goals got you into this mess! It was engineered by ideology.

Why did the European Union give an NGO that funds Hamas terrorists and has strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood €40 million? A thread. 🧵 1/10

Enormous fears around soaring fertiliser costs due to the Iran war... We need to urgently boost domestic fertiliser production. Restore Britain would immediately act to reduce reliance on volatile global supply chains for essential inputs. Food security is national security.

They didn’t march for Mahsa Amini. Nor for the thousands murdered by the Iranian regime. But they will march for their killers. Disgusting.

@Arturinuc @Big3Tennis 6-1, 6-3, 6-0

What is the greatest straight sets tennis match of the Big Three era? I have an answer in mind, curious what others think.

@Nick_Metcalfe Utter embarrassment. Has to go asap

Those England players will go down in infamy. Infamy, infamy, they've all got it infamy. Kenneth Williams in Carry On Cleo. Not my game or my business really, rugger. But surely Steve Borthwick has to be under pressure now? Dreadful Six Nations from England.

Every football club on earth exists because of this island. 🇬🇧 Kings banned it. The richest schools in England claimed it. They wrote the rules and locked the gates. Then the working class stole it back. In 1850, Parliament passed the Factory Act. Work stopped at two on a Saturday. Working men had free time. And they chose football. Churches formed clubs to keep men out of pubs: Aston Villa, Bolton, Everton. Factories formed teams from their own workers: West Ham from the Thames Ironworks, Arsenal from a munitions factory. The FA Cup Final. Blackburn Olympic: weavers, spinners, a plumber. They beat the Old Etonians 2-1. No private school team ever reached the final again. Then British workers carried it everywhere they went ⚽🌍 Scottish miners in Spain founded its oldest club. A Nottingham lace trader gave Juventus their black and white stripes. A butcher's son from the same city founded AC Milan. British railway workers in Uruguay named their team after Stephenson's Rocket. Cornish miners founded Mexico's first football club. A schoolteacher from Kent taught the game to his students in Argentina. His school produced Lionel Messi. A boy from Southampton brought two footballs to Brazil. They call him the father of Brazilian football. Real Madrid are said to wear white because of an English amateur team. From Lancashire cotton mills to every continent on earth. Three and a half billion people watch football. The most popular sport ever created. And it was created here. By the British people. Every Saturday, three o'clock. That kickoff time exists because of the Factory Act of 1850. The moment working men were given an afternoon off. They chose football. And the world followed. No owners. No sponsors. Just supporters.

Fishermen off the Suffolk coast say they can hear church bells ringing underwater.🇬🇧🔔🌊 They say it means a storm is coming. And that no sailor should put to sea. Because under those waves lies one of England's greatest cities. In the 13th century, Dunwich was the size of London. Eight churches. A mint. A harbour so powerful the King demanded forty warships from it. An eighth of the entire English fleet. It was the sixth wealthiest city in the country. Then in 1286, a storm surge hit like nothing before. Another in 1287. Then another. A quarter of the city vanished in a single night. Three churches swallowed whole. Four hundred houses gone. And the sea kept coming. By 1831, Dunwich had thirty-two voters, forty-four houses, and two Members of Parliament. Manchester had two hundred thousand people. And no MPs at all. The last medieval church, All Saints, clung to the cliff edge for centuries. In 1919, it finally fell. Bones from its graveyard still tumble from the cliff today. Everyone assumed it was gone. In 2008, scientists pointed sonar at the seabed off Suffolk. Churches. Streets. A town hall. The largest medieval underwater city in Europe. Less than a mile from shore. Still there. There are thousands of stories like this. Hiding across our islands. Help us find them. No sponsors. No ads. Just us.🙏 Be part of us: proudofus.co.uk/support Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Before this, they decided if you were guilty by making you hold a red-hot iron bar. If you burned, God had spoken. You were guilty. They called it trial by ordeal. It lasted centuries. Then in 1215, on a riverbank in England, they wrote something down that changed the world forever. No free man shall be imprisoned except by the lawful judgement of his peers. Not the king. Not the church. Not a lord. Twelve ordinary people. In 1670, a judge locked up a jury for refusing to convict. Starved them for two days. They still refused. One juror, Edward Bushel, took it to a higher court. And won. From that moment, no judge in England could ever punish a jury for its verdict. Over fifty countries use trial by jury today. All because eight hundred years ago, ordinary people decided that guilt was too important to leave to kings.

@ThatEricAlper @oasis actually exceeded the hype.

Which reunion tour actually lived up to the hype?

The MOST IMPORTANT piece of ground in HUMAN HISTORY is a park by the Thames. 🇬🇧 Before what happened here…. Any king, anywhere, could do whatever he wanted. Take your land. Take your family. Kill you. No trial. No charge. No limit. No law on earth could touch him. Then in 1215, England’s barons seized London and sent King John a message: Meet us, or lose everything. ⚔️ He met them. In a wet field called Runnymede. They handed him Magna Carta. No imprisonment without trial. No taxation without consent. The king is under the law. He sealed it. Then begged the Pope to destroy it. Didn’t matter. You can’t kill an idea. America built its Constitution on it. The Fifth Amendment? Straight from Clause 39. The only monument there for 60 years? Built by Americans. 🇺🇸 They honour that field more than we do. Every democracy on earth traces back to that patch of grass. That’s your heritage. 👉 proudofus.co.uk Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧
