If you're taking part in #Veganuary this year, be grateful that you're not doing it in Tudor England, when even the candles were made of animal products...
We found a number of candles on the Mary Rose, made of tallow, or beef fat. Wonder if they worked like scented candles?

We are not free under capitalism. We need to fight to earn our freedom. We don't know what freedom is yet.

#Farage is great at protesting but not at planning, at complaining but not coordination, at criticism but not consideration. For years he led the cry for #Brexit bur never had a plan Then the Brexiteers went to negotiations with nothing. No plan, no purpose, no clue. #RejoinEU, not ReformUK.

I can successfully articulate only two phrases in an Australian accent: ‘It’s got a bouquet like an aborigine’s armpit’ and ‘Can you tell what it is yet?’. Hoping to build on my repertoire. (Inny suggistions?)

Do you have a high street full of gambling shops breeding poverty and addiction? I have a way to fight back | Dawn Butler
