I had no idea honey under a microscope was so beautiful.

Before England. Before Britain. Before the Romans. 🌿 There was a class of people in this island who held everything in their heads. The Romans called them Druids. 🌳 They were the doctors. The lawyers. The judges. The astronomers. The philosophers. The poets. All in one. In one lifetime. They could walk between two armies about to fight and stop the battle. With a raised hand. ✋ Caesar recorded this. Strabo recorded this. Diodorus Siculus recorded this. Three independent sources. Caesar himself wrote that Britain was the origin of Druidism 🇬🇧 Training took up to twenty years. Medicine. Law. Astronomy. Philosophy. History. The size of the cosmos. ⭐ All of it memorised. Not one word written down. On the sixth day of the moon a Druid in white climbed an oak tree with a golden sickle and cut the mistletoe. Others caught it in white cloth below. It must never touch the ground. They called it the all-healing. 🌿 They believed the soul was immortal. After death it passed from one body to the next. The fear of death was cast aside. 💀 Once a year they marked the barrier between the living and the dead. October the thirty-first. 🎃 Every fire across Britain was extinguished. The Arch-Druid climbed a sacred hill in gold robes and lit a single new fire. They burned the bones of animals in it. The bone-fire. 🔥 We call it a bonfire now. People dressed as monsters to hide from the spirits of the dead. We call it Halloween. The Druids invented Halloween. 👻 In 60AD Rome came for them. Flat-bottomed boats crossed the Menai Strait. The cavalry swam alongside their horses. On the opposite shore women in black robes brandished torches. Druids with their hands raised to heaven. Screaming curses. Tacitus wrote that the Roman soldiers, hardened legionaries, were frozen with terror. 😨 They stood motionless. Shields not raised. Exposed to wounds. Their commanders had to shout at them to remember they were soldiers. They crossed. They massacred. They cut down the sacred groves. And Britain went silent. 🌑 No buildings. No inscriptions. No graves. Their temples were forest clearings. Everything we know about them comes from the people who destroyed them. And yet. 🌳 Halloween. The word bonfire. The oak groves they called sacred still stand. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧 Your support goes straight into educating fellow Britons on the history they were never taught.

The President of Madrid just ripped Spain’s leftist government apart in parliament: “Why don’t you all go to Tehran alone and drunk, and take your gay friends with you? Let’s see how long it takes them to hang you from a crane!”😂 Give her the Oscar already!😂

Almost all warnings and indicators that a wider war is coming are flashing red and it is "breathtaking" that the UK government is failing to better prepare, a top academic has warned. Dr Rob Johnson @RJohnsonCCW1, director of the Changing Character of Conflict Centre at Oxford University, said China is taking the steps that would be expected to have the ability to attack Taiwan, while Russia could well be readying to launch military operations against a NATO country. This comes on top of Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which is in its fifth year, and the US and Israeli war against Iran. Mr Johnson has compiled a list of 80 "indicators of conflict preparation and coming armed attack" by drawing on the lessons of history, including the run up to the Second World War. The indicators cover the kind of military activity and hostile diplomacy demonstrated by a nation that is preparing to launch an armed attack, as well as societal changes and government information campaigns. Asked how many of them are already flashing, Mr Johnson said: "If you look at the whole list, we're about 94%, 95% complete. "In other words, we're really quite close to the threat of an armed conflict." You can read the full story⬇️ news.sky.com/story/warning-…

But the morons in London protesting don’t get it. I really do hope we go to war and they all get called up
