Forget the King's Christmas Day speech - here's my shameless "Winterval" plug instead.

Live from Lewisham.

Less "Pitt the younger" more "Simply the pits"

Dans sa tête

They're also obsessed with titles and status.

"Senior Policy Fellow" is a very grand title for an outfit like Restore Britain

They call everyone else snowflakes, but they're one long blizzard of self-loathing and everything triggers them. Strange and inadequate people.
Harrison Pitt accuses the King of treachery. Pitt is a Senior Policy Fellow for Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, who also regularly co-hosts podcasts with his ally Tomlinson (who advocates banning all ethnic and faith minorities from public office). Like Lowe, Pitt is keen to dissolve boundaries/norms

So true

For you the war is over

Beautiful

Such a beautiful story of an enduring friendship. Do read.

Yes it was a hugely misleading narrative. I wrote about the whole phenomenon in my first book Fake History

Oh I read those too - was a child mostly of the 80s

Also - it's a fake quote.

Yes! Same

I dried one on a radiator and it looked like it had been hit by a missile

But are you Tommy?

Are you really?

2 hours apart

My childhood bedroom was essentially a cargo cult to WW2. Deprogramming myself of that took years. Some 70s boys never quite grew out of it I suspect.

Huge influence. Action Man was the best selling boys toy of the 1970s. All those war films, war series and war themed comics. All those schoolyard games. Definitely shaped the mindset of kids in 60s and 70s. Particularly boys.

Merry Christmas Martin

Thank you
@ottoenglish.bsky.social just read your 70s nostalgia piece in @bylinetimes.bsky.social, it’s spot on, I’m older than you but it was exactly as you say. Only bright spot was housing that was more affordable. On about 1.5 times median salary I bought a flat using a 100% GLC mortgage.
