How did a pub become a mortuary? 🍻 ☠️
The Olde Starre Inne in York was built in 1644, but within just a few months of opening, an allied army of Parliament and Scotland laid siege to the city.

"10% of our revenue will come from criminals paying us for access to our customers" is an astonishing thing to put in writing
"Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10 per cent of its overall annual revenue — or $16bn — from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show" - Reuters www.ft.com/content/4560...
We have to be able to hold tech platforms accountable for fraud
Algorithms ensure that people who click on scams are likely to see more of them

In the UK, you could demolish a church VAT-free, but if you wanted to repair that church, you would have to pay VAT.

The way this woman was treated is horrific and it's actually quite heartening to see so many boycott in solidarity.

What many politicians don't realise - or want to understand - is that many of the "highly-skilled" immigrants whose labour they crave were raised by the same asylum seekers and refugees they openly despise. They take the racist political rhetoric personally, and act accordingly. Why wouldn't they?
"Record numbers of overseas-trained doctors are quitting the UK, leaving the NHS at risk of huge gaps in its workforce, with hostility towards migrants blamed for the exodus...the NHS is so heavily reliant on doctors from elsewhere – 42% of its entire medical workforce qualified overseas."
All those people, including current government, who falsely claim migrants are to blame for failings with the NHS, along with infrastructure in general, are in for one hell of a shock with how much worse things will get with Labour's anti-immigration policies.

The Royalists Take Rotherham ⚔️💥
The fighting in the English Civil Wars was not just reserved for major cities and sweeping battlefields. In May 1643 the Parliamentarian town of Rotherham was captured by Royalist forces led by William Cavendish, the Earl of Newcastle.

If there were really justice in this cold, unfeeling universe, there are people whose gleefully-committed sins should hang about their necks like chains so heavy that they spend every moment of eternity in unthinkable agony. There is no hell hot enough, nor depths frozen enough for them.
Johnson & Cummings killed 23,000 people.
If a lockdown had been imposed on 16 March, a week earlier than it was, it could have cut the number of deaths in England in the first wave of the virus by almost half, saving 23,000 lives, the Covid inquiry says.
