So the threats of Russian false flag ops and the like to prevent #Orbàn’s fall never materialised. They never were plausible, but also Moscow was quite sanguine about the risk. A short thread based on… 1/

The Battle of the Westerplatte, first combat between German and Polish forces on September 1st, 1939 🔥🔥

This would never be allowed today. Spike Milligan's sketch, "There's a Fly in My Soup" panders to French, German, Irish & Jewish stereotypes. The man is actor David Lodge & the lady is Katie Boyle who is most known for hosting Eurovision. Sit back & have a belly laugh.

March 31st 1982: Concerned over the escalating situation, Margaret Thatcher decides to cut through the red tape of various ambassadors and agencies and to speak to President Ronald Reagan directly, with the two of them being firm friends: 1/5

'Discrimination': Noun: "the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people". This Labour government should be ashamed.

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

This is the best of X when a connoisseur writes about their favourite books films words places or characters with knowledge and care and passion. Or an expert on a subject. Or a witness of amazing events who can commentate them live or an OSINT analyst who can see the world in new ways...... And you learn about a new subject or writer or a world of which you had no idea. Like a conversation in one of those old fashioned libraries or cafes... Very different from the other poisonous X of imbeciles and witch-hunts. I bought Berlin Game. thanks for this @ShippersUnbound

@Keir_Starmer Spineless, weak, etc etc

I will always make decisions in the national interest. That’s why we did not join the offensive action against Iran.    Reform and the Tories would’ve rushed us into war without a plan to get us out.

@SpursArmyTweets Reporter amazingly made me have sympathy for Tudor…!

🚨🎙️ Igor Tudor LOSES THE PLOT during his interview with Sky Sports after the game. 🌶️ “You insist almost always with the same questions!” “Are we finished or not?”

Today, Friday 13th of March, we remember the great Murray Walker, who passed away (on this day) in 2021, leaving behind a rich legacy in motorsport broadcasting. Some have compared his commentay to having ants in his pants over a Grand Prix distance but his passionate & energetic commentary and enthusiastic style made him a firm favourite. Who could forget his 'murrayims!? @HillF1 @MBrundleF1 @karunchandhok @CroftyF1 #F1

@chilternrailway @TeaPaintAndWork That’s was the 0721 from PRR. 1st class was declassified before we left because the guard knew it would be busy. Why put an unwanted 1st class on that journey is beyond me. Give me the old Ex-BR carriages any day - I’d rather put up with the odd breakdown than the explorers

@TeaPaintAndWork Hi, First Class is always available on the Chiltern Explorers unless it's been declassified. You just need to pay the £20.00 upgrade to the Train Manager when approached. ^LW

@chilternrailway Hi - just got on the 733 from HW to MYB. There’s a carriage labelled 1 - is it actually a first class carriage on this service or is it just labelled that way? New train is nice, lighting better than the last new carriage, seats a little too upright though.

Police chairmen 'silenced for exposing cancel culture' handed major win as union drops legal challenge against them gbnews.com/news/police-ca…

Head of Police Federation of England and Wales suspended bbc.in/4rXeoK5

External pressure is the only way PFEW responds. Just like when Insp Riddell forced them to reveal the grotesque salary by pursuing a complaint via the ICO, PFEW only took steps to suspend the CEO when a leaked National Council recording was due to be reported upon in the Times. A handful of baffled NC members questioned the Chair Tiff Lynch and the Secretary John Partington as to why no action had yet been taken taken. Bizarrely, the pair, supported by the very faithful Treasuer/Baord Member Simon Kempton defended the indefensible, first refusing to confirm the CEO had even been arrested and then proclaiming that as no complaints had been received, they couldn’t take action. @PFEW_Whistle was sent a copy of the recording and released snippets on X over the weekend prompting the Times to reach out and report. When PFEW were approached for comment today, they suddenly took action, presumably to try and take the sting out of the article. So much of a rush, that their own National Board members and regional reps found out like the rest of us… a theee line social media message. I’ve been approached this evening asking how we can mount a vote of no confidence in the national executive… well we can’t. There’s no formal way to record such dissent other then by supporting our Campaign to #BreakTheMonopoly. We already know the Governemt and PFEW are steadfast and locked together in attempting to quash our Judicial Review, so the only way we are going to get any change is through funding it and making change happen. crowdjustice.com/case/breaking-… £5… the cost of a grande latte at a high street coffee shop… that’s all I’m asking for to get this over the line. FIVE POUNDS the same amount every subscribing member has so far contributed to the CEO’s £700k salary and will continue contributing through out his suspension. Come on people… make this happen before we land in Parliament on Wednesday. thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…

19 words…thats all the members are entitled to… Is he on full pay? Will there be an internal investigation following the criminal one? You do realise that if the follows usual police internal investigations, he will make a million in 3 years? I think you owe us more than this!

Nope. But they have sent a bizarre circular out to branches saying if they deviate from the agreed communications position any liabilities that arise will rest with the branch. So are they saying the £700k CEO of the Fed would take legal action against Fed branches?!

@PFEW_HQ CEO Mukund Krishna, retired PFEW General Secretary Calum Macleod and retired PFEW General Secretary Alex Duncan. Having been arrested and interviewed. Have all been released on conditional bail pending further enquiries @PFEW_Whistle @leembroad @Rich_Cooke1 @Rich_Cooke1

Members of the NPA have repeatedly raised concerns around governance, finance and integrity matters at PFEW and these have been the driving reasons behind our campaign for plural representation #BreakingTheMonopoly 2/4
