A thread on the 50 best fortifications to go and visit in the world according to me. They are all fun for at least one in the family. They are listed in reverse rank order as determined by how much fun, unique and awesome they are.

British forever. You tell’em! 🥳

@MartinSLewis £2k, which fund was that?

22 years ago today The Battle of Danny Boy. What began as an ambush in Iraq became over 3 hours of brutal fighting ending in hand-to-hand combat. To the men beside me that day — your courage and determination will stay with me forever. Hermer & Shiner couldn’t lace are boots!

Legend Rod Stewart congratules King Charles for putting "little rat bag" Trump in his place.

What an incredible version! His voice sounds absolutely amazing ❤️

I was in Uttoxeter today, so missed this beauty

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

The party is over @BorisJohnson. Resign.

Many of you don’t know this, but Hamas murdered Shiri Bibas’s parents, Yossi and Margalit, on October 7. The remains of their burned bodies were found in the ashes 3 weeks later. Three generations were erased simply because they were Jewish. I’ll never let the world forget.

@philippilk We're not, are we.

Energy lockdowns hit India. We’re 3-4 weeks out in Europe. 🇮🇳

I've been studying historical genocides for an upcoming essay. All I'll say for now is that Ireland's motion to broaden the definition of genocide, thereby watering down the crime, just so it can vilify Israel, is the most morally abject thing the Irish state has ever done.

I see the "unholy alliance" of leftists and jihadists is now crying crocodile tears for Holocaust victims, and desperately claiming, "Oh, but the Jews played football in the camps too!" ​Comparing a voluntary community in Gaza to football in the Holocaust is a distortion of facts. In Auschwitz, "sports" were a staged propaganda tool for the SS or a "privilege" for the tiny fraction of prisoners used as slave labor. As survivor Tadeusz Borowski famously wrote: "Between two throw-ins in a soccer game, right behind my back, 3000 people had been put to death." ​To equate that horror, where people were gassed yards away from a forced football match, to a public race in Gaza is a total moral collapse. Victims in Nazi ghettos were systematically limited to roughly 200 calories a day. They were walking skeletons who could barely stand. The fact that thousands of young men (no women, btw!!!) in Gaza have the caloric surplus, hydration, and muscle mass to compete in a race proves the "man-made famine" narrative is a fabrication. ​Stop weaponising Jewish trauma to provide cover for a theocracy that uses its wounded as props and erases its women. If Gaza is a "death camp," it's the only one in history where the population is healthy enough for track and field.

UK specialist paratroopers and military clinicians have carried out a daring parachute operation to deliver critical medical support to Tristan da Cunha – Britain’s most remote inhabited Overseas Territory – after a suspected case of Hantavirus was identified on the island.

@MrKennethClarke Don't know, but here's a handy article from the Guardian in 2014... theguardian.com/news/reality-c…

The cost of living crisis has been happening for the past decade. I wonder what happened in 2016?

81 years ago today, Captain Lewis Nixon of the 101st Airborne Division slowly gets up the morning after celebrating VE-Day with fellow officers of the Battalion. 🪂 The source of all those bottles was the wine cellar of Reichmarshall Hermann Göring. 🍾

🚨 When you need to get the world's most remote inhabited island fast British Army medics & pathfinders jumped into Tristan da Cunha last night with emergency medical supplies to treat a suspected case of Hantavirus
