The enormous flag from the French ship Le Généreux, captured by Admiral Nelson in 1800, is one of the oldest surviving examples of the Tricolour...

The flag's immense size is highlighted by the people standing on it in the top image, giving a sense of its scale.

Leafing through this weekend's South Wales Evening Post, and there's a most unfortunate clock-up in Mal Pope's column.

I imagine it's because there's not much on that they want to watch. There's not much on that *I* want to watch, either.

It should be shown in schools.

I watch it on iPlayer to do the same.

I agree. Again, as it used to be. Most people must know by now that it's recorded on the Saturday. Fewer contestants would be better, too - the first batch of episodes are far too long.

"Come on in, the water is beautiful & your autism will be cured," says Robert Kennedy Jr, as he swims with his family in a sewage plant. It is at this point that I see a tiny worm swimming frantically to shore. "I quit!" says the worm. "I'm finding another brain. This guy is nuts enough without me."

It's unfair because it's pitting a novice against a professional. The novice is always going to lose. That's not competition.

As we had before the dance off was introduced.

Racists regularly complain that BAME people don’t try to fit in, don’t try to be part of “our culture” etc so it always amuses me when you see them screaming at advertisers for including them in their marketing. It’s not as if tv is awash with adverts for molokhia leaves, jerk chicken and ghee.

It wasn't what I learned at school, but what I learned from The World At War. They should repeat it on primetime tv.

We studied 19th & 20th c history at A Level back before The Flood

We saw the bodies dumper trucked into mass graves at 17. We learnt all about Stalin.

Do people still retain/learn that knowledge generally?

New post just out:

"Never again?"

On how the radical right are trying to change our collective memory about World War Two as part of their assault on the postwar order.

And why that memory remains a critical defence against nationalism.

It’s not early if Christmas is an important selling time for you because people are already buying. You have to get on it! Please support independent makers and artists on social media. Don’t just like, repost! We appreciate it x

I give this a little boost occasionally. It’s becoming a nice little repository in the replies of lovely stuff people make that you can buy. Please feel free to reply to it with yours. And if you find something you like but can’t afford, reposts always help!

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

Yes, that (the judging) was my point. It's unfair.

Ellie vs Amber in a dance off would be a tricky one for them. But it's probably on the cards.

I also can't bear the little training videos where they make like they're going to do terribly and then do something brilliant. Bah!

My problem with ringers is that, in a situation like this week, the judges will always save the ringer. It's simply unfair for absolute novices to compete against people who have danced professionally. I'm really pissed off about this week. REALLY pissed off.

The judges are always going to save the ringer. It's so unfair.
