Here are a few actual facts about welfare payments in the UK in response to fairly nasty, baseless headlines like the below, which are numerous and unfortunately widely believed by the UK population. 🧵
‼️We have launched only our second fundraiser of 2026 ‼️ 💙If you can support mental health trauma rehabilitation to help civilians, children, soldiers and ex-POWs we would be incredibly grateful 💛 See next comment to donate 🙏🏻 #supportcarerehabilitation
This summer, make sure your camping licence is up to date! (early days of photoshop we convinced a pub bore he needed licence to camp and made copies for the rest of the group to show when Andy asked each of us in turn if it was bullshit. On Monday he duly visited the Post Office to apply for one.)
Just to note, Toby Young and James Orr’s Free Speech Union paid the legal bills for this guy who plans to be a future ‘Professor of Eugenics and Race Science’ after ‘the revolution’ Young himself supported ‘progressive eugenics’. They’re not even hiding their fact free racism
Organizing my photos from my trip to LAC. I got through ~20,000 pages of documents in 23 boxes and 7 bound volumes, and took ~1,200 photos. I found loads of mildly interesting documents, a few very useful, and one indescribably precious. It was exactly what I hoped to find and didn't think I would.
On 16th August 1944 two tankies were killed in Normandy: Lt Eric Kershaw 1 RTR and Sgt James Richardson 44 RTR. 1/2
Alright, errata and map pack are now up, as well as the corrected list of maps, photos, documents, tables, plates and figures. I couldn't be bothered with restricting it to people who purchased the book, life's too short. So have at it.

Background In a project of this nature and scope there will be errors. Towards the end of the publishing process, the perfect is very much the arch enemy of the good, and we know there are mistakes…

Welcome back to French Fuck Fridays, where we take a look at a fucked up looking interwar French planes. Today's selection is a personal favorite: the Farman F.120 Jabiru, France's first monoplane commercial airliner which had the aerodynamics of Kool Aid Man smashing through brick walls
Christer Bergström with his six completed volumes of Black Cross - Red Star, on the air war in the east. Delighted to have one of these which he sent me because I helped him out in finding a document in Kew. A gentleman. vaktelforlag.se/produkt-kate...
Every day is #InternationalWolfDay in our eyes, but today is the perfect excuse to remind the world just how amazing wolves are. 🐺 What better way to celebrate than with a throwback howl from the OG trio Zephyr, Alawa and Nikai?🐾
Temperatures have now provisionally exceeded 37°C 🌡️ Before 2026, the UK had recorded 37°C or higher on only six occasions. This year alone, we've already reached that mark three times.

Lies. It's 200 times when solar panels are "mentioned" in the fire report. e.g. “the fire did not reach the solar panel”

A little bit of an odd request. Does anyone know any textile history experts with knowledge on the linen trade in Brittany, Normandy, or Flanders during the 18th century? Trying to identify a marking on an object in our collection!
Well worth following and supporting this group. They do seriously good work.

Independence? Yes. Down the middle? Not always. You go where the facts take you. Kind of like where Murrow went with Sen. Joe McCarthy.
Jay Rosen@jayrosen.bsky.social · 2w agoQuick question for you @brianstelter.bsky.social after reading David Ellison in his op-ed this morning. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/o... Are legends like Ted Turner and Edward R. Murrow known for their middleness?
Have neglected this platform so for those who know us from other places, we are back. And if you don’t know us, we will tell you about our work these last 4+ years. #wedontstop 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Chelsea get suspended transfer windows and £10m fine, which may as well be 10p? It relates to secret payments to agents when Roman Abramovich was owner. Remember Derby County got deducted 21 points. One rule for the big PL clubs. Absolutely disgraceful.
When I heard about this I was skeptical, but it really happened - a teacher arrested for CLAPPING at a public meeting. Yeah, we’re going full-on fascist…. www.wymt.com/2026/07/27/t...
