This is the best preserved medieval street in Europe.
Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, The Shambles in York, England has had shops trading on it for nearly a thousand years. It's older than the Crusades.

I’m not a boomer, I’m 43.
The only time I ever had a burger was when someone had a birthday party at Wimpy.
The only “fast food” we ever had was a chippy. When my siblings were older and it was just me dragged into town with my mum, I’d then get a sausage roll from the bakery.

Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

London is such a dangerous, hellhole; so full of ‘no go zones’, that millionaire footballers walk around at 5am.

Rachel Reeves has just learned the Gerald Ratner lesson. Don’t sneer at your customers.
He didn’t swear AT her he swore near her and about Starmer. He wasn’t “impolite” for “interrupting” because it’s a garage forecourt and he was filling up his van. She chose to “do press” there for the photo opportunity. He isn’t “not British” because he gave a Labour politician direct feedback on her government which she didn’t like.
A man who never gets near the corridors of the House of Commons will take his chance when he sees it. He saw it. x.com/PolitlcsUK/sta…

Margaret Thatcher built significantly more council houses in her final year in office than Blair and Brown built in their *entire* 13 years of government.
A Labour government of which Burnham was a senior and intrinsic part.
Andy Burnham@AndyBurnhamGM
@afneil You need to get out of London, Andrew. You’ve clearly got no idea how much people here are struggling. And, yes, a lot of it can be traced back to Margaret Thatcher.

You should not be allowed to sit in the front row of the top deck of the bus and look at your fucking phone. Staring out the window should be compulsory.

You can travel at 5x the speed and a fraction of the cost and laugh at those sitting for 3 hours in traffic exercising what they think is freedom.

This real-time 1948 article from The Economist completely destroys the modern “Nakba” narrative that was invented decades later as political propaganda.
Straight from British eyewitnesses in Haifa, October 2, 1948:
“Jewish authorities urged all Arabs to remain in Haifa and guaranteed them protection and security ... However, of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa, not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained.
The most potent factor was the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive, urging the Arabs to quit ... those who remained and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.”
They didn’t flee because of “Zionist ethnic cleansing.”
They fled because Arab leaders ordered them to get out of the way so their armies could “drive the Jews into the sea.”
Then they lost the war they started — and spent the next 77 years rewriting history to blame the Jews.
The “Nakba” you were taught? Pure revisionist fiction.
Captain Allen@CptAllenHistory
The word “Nakba” (catastrophe) wasn’t invented by Palestinians to describe Jewish “ethnic cleansing.” It was coined in 1948 by a Syrian Arab historian, Constantin Zureiq, in his book The Meaning of the Disaster. He used it to describe the humiliating failure of the Arab world — their leaders’ arrogance, their lies to their own people, their military incompetence, and their refusal to accept a Jewish state. Zureiq wrote that the Arabs had “imaginary victories” and put their public “to sleep” with boasts — until the real disaster hit: they couldn’t wipe out the Jews. The original Nakba wasn’t about refugees. That a rebrand from several decades later. It was about the Arab leaders’ catastrophic decision to launch a war of extermination ... and lose. They’ve spent 77 years rebranding their own failure as Jewish guilt. That’s the only real "Nakba" they can’t forgive.

Police say today's 'Unite the Kingdom' rally passed 'largely without any signficant incident'. Probably worth noting that at the 2025 Notting Hill carnival, 528 people were arrested, four people were stabbed, and 55 police officers were assaulted.

Arlene was so right on this. The constant snidy remarks about Reform and the regular use of the words far right and racist directed at Reform voters shows Labour to have learnt nothing from how they also treated Leave supporters during the EU referendum!
Mike Gardner@mikegardner_wb
Arlene Foster gets it: “I couldn’t believe what I was hearing….When you disrespect Reform you are disrespecting the people who vote for them.” The sneering arrogance of a Labour peer she overheard epitomises why the electorate will keep punishing this dreadful Government.
