I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

And that, England cricketers, is how you bat in a test match. Grind the opposition into the dust.

As the anniversary of a famous photo is coming up: A British and a German newspaper using the same image of the London Blitz but with opposite intentions.

Another excellent thread from Ian which gives us a fireman’s view of the Blitz. ⬇️
It's the middle of the night, and a young fireman confronts a fire the like of which he's never seen before.
It is the night of 7 September 1940, and 24-year-old Frank Hurd is fighting fires on the first night of the London #Blitz.
An illustrated thread... 🧵 1/19

Today marks the 85th anniversary of the Luftwaffe's fire raid on the City of London, which became known as the "Second Great Fire of London". Here we see a group of London firefighters in Cheapside on the morning of 30 December after no doubt an exhausting night at work. This raid also gave rise to

Book the open top bus, plan the parade, knighthoods all round!

I'll be less active on socials over Christmas, so in case I don't get the chance again, I'd like to wish all of my friends and followers on here the Season's Greetings and sincerely hope, like these folks in 1940, that better times are coming sometime soon.
