@VinnieSull1van @Britains___Pubs @PubHistoryTours @jk_rowling is this true, did you drink and smoke a pipe whilst writing 🤔

J.R.R. Tolkien, who created amazing literature that was produced from the adoption of British history and culture, considered beer drinking and pipe smoking inseparable from creative writing. 🍻

@spectator Journalism bloody 🤡🌎 these days

For 24 years, I have run @AmaxEstates, a small independent business in #Gravesend. I’ve always paid my dues, supported the local economy and worked hard to build something sustainable. Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to resolve a serious issue with my business rates — and despite multiple emails and attempts to engage, I have received no response from @graveshambc I have been told one rateable value (£12,750) which was also confirmed over phones calls, yet billed another (£15,000), resulting in an increase from £147 per month to £642 per month — a rise of over 340% For a small business, this is simply not sustainable. I have also been unable to access the official system to challenge this before the deadline, despite repeated attempts. I am now left in a position where: • I cannot get clear answers • I cannot challenge through the system • I am facing a bill that could put a 24-year business at risk I have also contacted my local MP, @drlsullivan, and to date have received no response. This is not how small businesses should be treated. I am now working with the press to get answers — not just for myself, but because I suspect I am not the only one facing this. If you are a local business experiencing similar issues, please get in touch. This needs addressing. @VOAgovuk @HMRCgovuk @LauraTrottMP #SmallBusiness #Gravesend #BusinessRates #SupportLocal

Hot take that’s actually historically accurate: Women have ALWAYS worked. Every culture. Every era. Every economic system. The difference? It used to be home-based and family-integrated. You didn’t surrender your children to an institution, fight traffic, and spend 9 hours under fluorescent lights. “Women shouldn’t work” isn’t traditional. It’s not even historical. It’s a myth. The real conversation we should be having: why did we build a society where thriving economically requires severing family bonds and why do we call that progress?

Not a single policy that a net taxpayer benefits from

Today, Keir Starmer has banned Kanye West from entering the UK because his “extremist views pose a threat to the country.” But… Last week, Keir Starmer invited a LITERAL ISIS TERRORIST to 10 Downing Street.

The goal isn't better government. It's less government.

Highest peacetime tax take ever. And the UK's finances are still a total shit show.

Satoshi Nakamoto listed their birthday as April 5, 1975 If you are wondering what animated them to create Bitcoin: April 5 = FDR signed order 6102 making it illegal for Americans to own gold 1975 = Americans could legally own gold again It’s all about about financial freedom.

🇮🇪 Ireland begins testing its proposed "digital wallet app," as part of EU regulations that all EU countries must provide a "EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet" for accessing public services by the end of 2026 and 2027 for private services.

Fiat money not only destroys savings and financial security, it also raises time preference and makes you more likely to ruin yourself

Free for 270 years. Nobody ever asks why. 🇬🇧 In 1753 a British doctor called Hans Sloane died. He left 71,000 objects to the nation. On one condition. It must be free. For everybody. Forever. Parliament raised the money through a national lottery. And built the world’s first public museum. Not for the King. Not for the Church. For all of humanity. The idea was simple. Human history belongs to all of humanity. Not just the powerful. Not just a few. For everyone. 270 years later it still hasn’t charged a penny. 8 million objects. Two million years of human history. The Rosetta Stone. The Lewis Chessmen. The Sutton Hoo helmet. All of it free. Still today. The idea Britain invented in 1753 changed how the entire world keeps its history. This channel exists because people like you chose to make it happen. Thousands of stories like this one are waiting to be told. Battles won. Names forgotten. History that belongs to all of us but gets told to none of us. If you can afford to help keep it free for everyone else: proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Paying the BBC for the privilege of watching the competition has to be the most stupid tax of all. #defundtheBBC

We basically have to print money in order to pay interest on money that we’ve already printed And people want to say that a decentralized, finite, and censorship resistant protocol that does an entire audit of itself every 10 minutes is the scam Can’t make this stuff up
