It's on the watchlist. Just need some peace to watch it.

Me asking my other half (who was an literal MF'ing trader in a not so distant past life) to read something I wrote about trading. "No. We will argue" I am now on promised absolute best behaviour despite wanting to hit him with a pan at every single tut and sigh as he skims it.

I think so. Especially among labour but there is a big push to put all the blame on immigration pm Blair (not the Tories obvs) - just heard it a lot lately

The tony blair on is a immigration dog whistle. I agree and would have put 2008 crash/austerity higher, but Reform will never go that way.

Looking for scholarship that discusses the difficulties of analysing support for extreme/radical/far right political parties, either in terms of party membership or votes.

TBH a lot of the pol sci literature seems too confident in their methodologies/findings.

Spent two days writing on Eurodollar, currency controls, secondary markets & underwriting. This morning going through for relevance to the question I am asking. Now reducing it to two paragraphs & tears are welling. If anyone wants to know about Eurodollars in the 1960s London, I'm your gal

There is some pamphlets and moral outrage in the local history library so I'll keep looking! Thanks all this is brilliant. Really appreciate it.

That is brilliant, I will look into that. Thank you Daniel!

Thank you!

@thegentleauthor.bsky.social as a EE specialist, do you know reseource re interracial marriages in the 1950s/1960s between Carribean men (different islands) & Scottish Women in the East End? Thanks so much!

Thank you!

I know, we were talking about that, and who and what was in the back of the cars. I'd love to find a police log or something about it.

Did an oral history with a man who as a boy sat and watched them drain the dock from his flat. The thing he remembered most was the endless cars they brought out. All stolen cars that criminals had used then hoofed off the docks. Loads of them, all different ages. I was utterly captured by that.

Anyone know where I could find out about interracial marriages in the 1950s/1960s between Carribean men (different islands) and Scottish Women in the East End? From local discussion there is a trend, but I'm not sure how to find out why and more detail of any community. Thanks! #history #20Chistory

Such a shame. I actually didn't watch for the first year since I was about 8 watching with my grandad. Been out to watch and ride. Took up cycling seriously and this year just missed as itv4 has rubbish catch-up and Eurosport or reasonable sub for the giro and tdf. So many like me. Bye bye tdf

..stabee obvs

Picked up son from his last day at forest camp. "This has been a stab free day" he chirruped. I am terrified to ask for more stabor/stablee details. Terrified.

Stop reading, start writing, stop reading, start writing. Ooh. Another book with the same sources and content. I'd better read ALL of that.

I convinced myself he was on an electric bike (he wasn't)

bagette in back pocket rocking a wooly jumper....(yeah that happened to me)

Yes.

Well here's a bit of excitement - advance proof copies of Songs of Seven Dials: An intimate history of 1920s and 1930s London have just landed courtesy of @manchesterup.bsky.social.

It's starting to get real now.

I wasnt there, but a friend lives round the corner from the school, said it has been madness on all sides. I just hate this is what we are seemingly reduced to

...life has only just become like this. I am so unsure when and why casual conversations became so heated and potentially divisive to the point you have absolutely no idea how to navigate them, or just stay quiet. I guess now I see how people retreat to silence thats seen as acceptance.

I have spent all morning wondering whether I should, and what I should say, to people. One who spent the weekend at the epping bell hotel 'demonstrations' and her comments about that, the about trans rights in womens sports. Both sides of spectrum. Its 10am Monday ffs. I just want a coffee

I'll be sure to say hello.

@nathanhale.bsky.social new book arrived in the UK today. Bought me hours of silence apart from laughter at farting flare pig. Thank you sir. Are you going to do any more history ones as, if I'm honest, I am a bit hooked on those too.
