Gravitas? Is that Greek for beige cement in the shape of a three legged dog pissing on vulnerable people?

I’d be concerned about the whiplash in the cabined with the violent shift to the right being so hideous & unashamedly backslapping.

One Keir started Labour & another will end up killing it

My photo shows the ‘Mold Cape’ on an upright metal stand inside a British Museum display case. It is a Bronze Age object made of thin hammered gold. The sheet gold is curved and looks like a stiff, rounded poncho. The surface is densely decorated with rows of repeating patterns made of circular bosses and lozenges, which run horizontally around the cape. These are thought to imitate strings of beads. The gold is a deep, warm colour which shines in the display lighting. Cracks and repaired sections are visible. The Mold Cape would be worn over the chest and shoulders. Arm movement would be restricted due to the rigidity of the gold. This amazing artefact was discovered in 1833 by workmen digging for stone in a burial mound at Bryn yr Ellyllon, (Hill of the Goblins) near Mold in Flintshire.

From Bronze Age Wales, the spectacular Mold Cape! 🤩

An incredible ancient feat of sheet-goldworking, beaten from a single gold ingot some 3,600 years ago!

The extraordinary embossed decoration is said to mimic strings of beads.

At these times of political violence, I want to show sympathy to Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark who were murdered in cold blood by a crazyman who got himself a police uniform and a police car to murder them at their home. Melissa was the speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Call from a producer this morning:

Zoe please help - we thought the panel on our show was balanced, but it turns out they’re both pro-mass detention camps for asylum seekers. Would you come on to be the anti-detention camp voice?

We are in a really bad place, friends, I am telling you.

If you're worrying about what you may or may not be permitted to say or express under these new measures, just remember that supporters of the IDF don't have to worry about this sort of thing at all. They can declare their support for those murdering bastards as clearly and loudly as they like.

Absolutely pathetic. I got up at 5:55 to watch a Wales team that looked like a divisional 2nds team lose to a poor Japanese team that didn’t give up. We’re there with a caretaker coach that makes no sense. He didn’t sub Hardy OR Costellow. 18 straight loses is indefensible now

1st half review

Our set pieces have gotten worse
Japan are stealing our lineouts
Our kicking game is STILL pointless
Hardy is no Tom
Hardy/Costellow combo is like a melting ice cream with a sausage in it, it dsn work
The ref is weird & cnt see clear knock ons
But we’re…winning?

#OtD 5 Jul 1948 the UK National Health Service (NHS) was founded to provide free universal healthcare. The Labour Party started permitting charges in 1949 and it has been under attack ever since. It's up to us, the working class to defend it stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1053...
