"The trouble started when American MPs arrived and tried to force U.S. segregation rules inside the British pub. They attempted to remove & arrest the Black soldiers, which shocked the locals. People in the pub openly stood by the Black troops, telling the MPs that everyone there was welcome."

Happy Halloween to all, but especially our bugs of love (aka Doggies).
These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)
