Hey Jeremy you just quoted Tacitus ‘They created a desert and called it Peace’ this was Tacitus reporting a quote attributed to Calgacus, chief of The Caledonians commenting on Roman Foreign Policy - great show btw. Really admire your style!

As America reverts to a more distant historic strategic posture then we must revert to ours. Defending our island by building alliances with friends on the continent to defeat those who seek to dominate us.
We’ve done it for 500 years. We’ve got this.

The language politicians use in these times has to be tempered. I always thought that many used extremist language to make ‘their name and fame’ by stirring up passionate feelings of frustration,hate, and envy. Fortunes made through discord. Terrible thank you @danirowley.bsky.social

Selling low or zero alcohol on trains won’t stop drunken behaviour or enhance safety on our rail network and Trains. It’s about personal choice! If people want to be drunk they will source higher strength alcohol elsewhere and carry it on!

Pleased the Scottish Govt have listened to @trussellscot.bsky.social & End Child Poverty coalition campaigners and will use their powers to scrap the cruel two child cap.
Hopefully the UK child poverty review will recommend scrapping the cap across the UK!

Scottish Police Federation Officers, members of ASPS, UNISON POLICE STAFF SCOTLAND branch officials have been compelled to take to the streets today in Glasgow to lobby The Chief Constable and Scottish Police Authority Members over Pay and Conditions. All we seek is justice!

To think that mankind has only been present on Earth/Gaia for 2.8 - 3 Million Years and recorded history is roughly 5,000 years. What proportion of our History has been lost and is waiting to be discovered again?
