This bloke can’t speak English. He’s trying to make a point about how there are too many rats and ‘horse in road’ (I think?)…and he is running to be a councillor. Fantastic.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Before 1830, nobody had a lawn. The rich had their grass cut by scythemen. Ordinary people had no garden worth speaking of. Edwin Budding was an engineer in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Working in a textile mill, he noticed a machine using a cutting cylinder to trim the surface of cloth. He looked at it. And thought about grass. He built a machine with a cutting cylinder mounted on a wheeled frame. Then pushed it across his garden at midnight. At midnight. So the neighbours wouldn't see. It worked. He patented it in August 1830. Within twenty years the Victorian suburb was born. The striped lawn. The neat garden. The Sunday morning ritual. Every suburban garden in America. Every cricket ground. Every football pitch. Every golf course on earth. Traces back to one man. In Stroud. With a cloth machine. At midnight. Right now, somewhere in the world, someone is cutting their grass. And they have no idea who Edwin Budding was. Help us share more of our history: proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

“Trail hunting” isn’t some quaint countryside tradition. It’s a loophole to keep fox hunting alive. Foxes torn apart while right-wing politicians look the other way. Or even worse, defend it. No longer. Labour's a step closer to banning it for good. bbc.com/news/articles/…

🚨BREAKING: MET OFFICE FALSIFIES RECORD RAINFALL!!! It was a dull, damp month, but it was certainly a long way from the being the wettest February on record. Twenty-five years had wetter Februarys in the UK. It was therefore a surprise when the Met Office announced that this year Worcestershire saw its wettest February on record since 1836. The announcement was naturally accompanied by the usual blaming of climate change, with the BBC claiming without any evidence, that increased burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil causes heavier rainfall. Data since provided by the Met Office under the Freedom of Information Act have now shown that its claim of record rainfall does not stand up to scrutiny. The Met Office currently only has three official weather stations in Worcestershire: Pershore, Pershore College and Astwood Bank. According to the Met Office data released, rainfall last month at the stations was 128mm, 121mm and 146mm respectively. If we discard Pershore as effectively duplicating the College, we get an average of 133.5mm. None of these stations were around in 1836: the college has the longest record, dating back to 1952 and Astwood only goes as far back as 1976...

The word British is older than Rome. 🇬🇧 Before England.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Before Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Before Wales.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A civilisation lived on this island. They had kings. They worked metal. They traded with the ancient world. They called themselves Pritani. The painted people. In 325 BC a Greek explorer sailed here and wrote the name down for the first time in human history. When Caesar arrived he called the island Britannia. But the name was already ancient. Rome didn't give us our name. They borrowed it. Then the Anglo-Saxons came from a peninsula in Denmark called Angeln. They pushed the Celts west. Into Wales. Into Cornwall. Across the sea to France. The Celts took their name with them. The region they settled in France is still called Brittany today. Same word. Different coast. Pritani. Pretannikai. Britannia. Britain. Brittany. One word. 2,300 years old. Still alive on both sides of the Channel. Romans. Anglo-Saxons. Vikings. Normans. Every one of them came to this island. None of them could erase what was already here. When you say I am British you are speaking a word older than Rome. Every video we make is funded by people who believe this history is worth saving. Not sponsors. Not ads. You. 🫵 Stand with us: proudofus.co.uk/support Be proud of us. 🙏🇬🇧

The German military had a code machine. 🇬🇧 159,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible settings. Changed every twenty-four hours. They called it unbreakable. Every order. Every U-boat position. Every battle plan encrypted and sent through the air. Britain put ten thousand people in a country house in Buckinghamshire. Mathematicians. Linguists. Chess champions. Crossword solvers. And a quiet man named Alan Turing. He designed a machine to crack the unbreakable code. A room full of spinning drums testing millions of combinations until the right one clicked into place. It worked. Every Nazi message. Every U-boat position. Every attack plan. Britain could read them all. And Germany never knew. For years, the Allies knew what the enemy was planning before the enemy had finished planning it. It shortened the war by two years. Millions of lives saved. Because of ten thousand people in a country house that nobody was supposed to know about. Then the war ended. And they went home. Every one of them had signed the Official Secrets Act. Every one was sworn to silence. For thirty years, nobody knew. Husbands never told their wives. Mothers never told their children. They helped win the war. And never said a word. They kept the secret for thirty years. The least we can do is tell the story. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧 Be part of us 👇 Sources, support and more at proudofus.co.uk
