Being a West-country boy I was raised on rugby; I tried watching NFL & it bored me rigid. Son’s 🇺🇸 girlfriend once calculated that there’s roughly about 15mins actual playing time in a game.

Can’t be converted. WRWC?now that *was* excellent

I don’t know about your morals, but risking your political career & putting yourself on the line for Queen & country, you can’t be more patriotic than that.

Blimey, the subterfuge & risks he must have undertaken!

I wonder if Farage told himself not to go to meet the Russian Ambassador, but he went anyway.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

This is where it’s going to lead. Straight out the the Heritage Foundation text book

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

A bit of work I know, but so much worth the effort.

with reminders of who actually Trump is.

So long as each Nominator complies to their criteria 👇, with as many high level names as possible backing each Nominee, each nomination will be accepted & considered; maybe rain on someone’s parade.

to prevent the Trump/Project 2025 from ransacking the Constitution & law.

Nominees could incl you, @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social, Govnrs Newsom & Pritzker, @oac.bsky.social , name but a few.

The aim is not to win (though it would be nice), but to flood the Nobel Prize Committee

Dudley de Beau @dudleydebeau.bsky.social · 1d

An idea: 🧵
It’s inevitable that some ring kissing lackey is going to nominate Felon47 for the Nobel Peace Prize next year.

I suggest that multiple nominations are registered before 31st Jan ‘26 for each of those who’ve fought tooth & nail (by using law or independent media or speaking out)
