Battle of Bamber Bridge being celebrated this weekend.

American troops based in Lancashire, Military Police insisted on segregation in the pubs of Bamber Bridge. The good people of Bamber Bridge obliged by posting signs saying "Black Troops Only".

Well played Bamber Bridge.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.

From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Indoctrination …

means teaching someone to accept a set of beliefs uncritically, often without encouraging independent thought. It is commonly used in the context of political, religious, or ideological instruction that discourages questioning.🖖

We can’t have another referendum on Brexit because that was the will of the (lied to) people 8 years ago…

But we’re supposed to have another general election despite having had one 4 months ago

Right wing bellends are f*cking hilarious.

I for one am amazed that Keir Starmer, five months after winning a 170 seat majority, has not called a fresh election after acceding to a random petition. Shameful stuff. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/keir-s...
