Just reposting this thread in case anyone's interested in how Folly Dolly Falls got its name and didn't catch last night's posts 🫗🎡
Francis was fascinated by local history and we have him to thank for recording the origin of the waterfall name Folly Dolly Falls near Meltham over which the boundary stream Gylloproyd Dike flows.

There are a lot of these 'sadly we're having to close our business' scams. On Facebook a lot.

Warning:
Norrloom are advertising their sweaters on MSN and other websites with a claim they are closing down in the ad.
They appear to be a scam. Sweaters come from China with very similar design available from TEMU for a third of the price.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I've been looking at the 12-year service history of a Royal Naval Seaman, boy to man, a list of every ship he served aboard.
HMS Impregnable was his training ship - one that had served in the Napoleonic Wars.
HMS Ganges was at the end of his career in 1900.
A centenary of British warships.

I’m worried about Richard, the supposed Reform candidate in some council by election or other in Lincolnshire.
Look at the faraway look in his eyes.
The sadness.
The furrowed brow.
The dull listlessness…😔
Is he being held hostage against his will by Andrea Jenkyns?

Sign, repost and share this petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy.
We know Russian influence played a role in Brexit, but the Tory government didn't allow a full investigation.
It's time we had one!

Labour expecting to be thanked for freezing rail fares (which were put up over double the rate of inflation this year, and nearly 20% since 2021), is in the same league as them expecting to be thanked for doubling the cost of taking the bus. 🤪🤡
