@messedupfoods The reply about Churchill is actually top tier comedy. There’s no reason to be eating raw onion slabs like it’s 1940 and the rations just ran out
@monstroso@DanielJHannan A public vote? I can’t remember the ballot for that! I’m assuming it was a DEI selection process! You grow up! Open your eyes!
The removal of Churchill from our banknotes is presented as the kind of trivial change that only racists get worked up about. It is an old trick: you take away something that people like, and then accuse them of starting a culture war when they complain.
In fact, what our money looks like is far from a trivial issue. When Jesus drew the border between spiritual and temporal authority, he did so by pointing to Caesar’s face on a coin and asking the Pharisees: “Whose is this image and superscription?” There was no more resounding symbol of state power than the coinage.
Paywall down.

Hmf. The Swordfish kit I got has way too many sub assemblies I'll need to do at home and not on the road. Arse. Guess that means I'll need to buy another kit tomorrow for my on the road stash. Ah well.
@Andy_Ross1962@almurray@ww2headquarters Yeah, although I’m surprised nobody bought the business out, as has happened with Kit Form Services. We can only speculate, but I’d have thought it would have been worth continuing with under new ownership.
THE CHURCHILL. I'm at the @tankmusuem again for @ww2headquarters and I'm looking at the centre piece of British tank design, the Churchill. Multi function mega platform, perfected in real time, infantry tank and assault vehicle supreme.

@almurray@ww2headquarters Imagine if they’d been able to fit a 17pdr into the turret of a Mk VII. Possibly the perfect combination, but sadly not to be. Still a great bit of kit though!
@LordKitchener8@PlaidRhys They only tend to do that if you’re an asshole. I’ve spent loads of time in Wales, particularly the north where the Welsh language is most prominent and everyone I’ve met has been lovely.
@PlaidRhys How do the Welsh manage to be 2 minutes faster when ever time they see an Englishman, they huddle close together & start speaking in Welsh & then revert back to English when he is out of earshot again?
