Has anyone lost a robot dog in South Ken? Wearing a festive body warmer.

So, I meant it in both the sense that Britain has not led the world proudly for hundreds of years, and has not led proudly specifically on matters of inhumane treatment either.

Witch hunts, religious persecution, Guy Fawkes... Flogging in the navy was used into the 1800s, and in N Irish prisons into the 70s. Hell, kids could be caned in British schools into the 70s too.

English authorities had a reputation of being flogging happy. Sailors could expect HUNDREDS of lashes.

Even British citizens have not been protected from torture for very long. Suffragettes, for example, were force fed in prison, something they described as torture and assault.

Britain cannot claim to have hundreds of years of "proud global leadership" on inhumane treatment. We've enslaved, oppressed, & tortured. Right up to involvement in moving people to sites not covered by international laws against torture so that America could torture them under Blair.

Ahahahaha wtf?! Who failed their history O Levels??

I need to explain to the alt text readers that it's a PLUSHIE octopus. No cephalopods were harmed during the making of this photo.

More Hollywood actors need to be triple threats again.

Minimum wage should be triple locked like pensions. Companies should factor that into their costs & prices. Everyone's pay should increase by the triple lock each year.

Anything less is a pay cut & the law should make companies say that & not be allowed to pay dividends if they can't raise pay.

I had to scroll way too far to find this.

There it's penguins. Here it could easily be puffins. We MUST end overfishing in our waters now, before our ocean wildlife pays the price 🎣 2/2
