Remembering legendary dancehall DJ General Echo, selector Colonel Flux and Stereophonic owner Big John who were shot and killed by the police in a shocking incident in Kingston on this day in 1980.

Never forgotten... 🙏

10 days now since we lost our princess Poppy. I’m broken. I hear her in the quiet. A King Charles Spaniel will fill your soul and break your heart. Night Poppy

A real dilemma when you see a BMW struggling to gain traction in the snow.
Do you just walk past or do you gather passers-by together and organise them into a group to point and laugh?

I just love all dogs. They’re so innocent and loyal- they’d never comprehend why any human wouldn’t like then. We don’t deserve them.

Labour are dancing to the tune of Reform's cruel agenda on asylum.

These proposals, including confiscating personal belongings, will punish people who have already endured unimaginable hardship and will create further divisions in our communities.

Plaid Cymru rejects such performative cruelty.

The Newport Rising of 4 November 1839 was the last major armed uprising in Wales, led by Chartist reformers demanding democracy and secret ballots. Around 4,000 supporters, led by John Frost, marched on Newport to free imprisoned comrades held at the Westgate Hotel.

Just f**k off you drug addled spunk monkey. You’re not from here, you don’t live here, you and your ignorant ramblings are not wanted here. The sooner someone shoots you into space, and you bob around like one of those Russian dogs in the 50s till the air runs out, the better off humanity will be.

Everything was shut, and we had 2 and a half television stations in the 1970s. "Breakfast TV" consisted of the Open University and the BBC test card.

An elected MP, Reform’s Sarah Pochin says there are too many Black and Asian people on TV - so plain racism - and the coverage of it is buried. Silence and ignorance is complicity, causing lasting damage. When we see racism it’s what we do next, individually and collectively, that matters.

Cnut. He's forgotten about Cnut, who went on pilgrimage to Rome in 1027. Oh, and Edward I, who spent 2 months at the court of Gregory X in 1273. Otherwise, all over the detail, as per.
