It's on a hill, which helps :)

DEC exhibition closed 10 months or so ago, but the museum is still worth visiting for the copy of the Bayeux Tapestry.

Sweeney Todd is still open :)


What a wonderful post - I really enjoy seeing other peoples taste laid out in such an accessible manner.

I love the reference to Druk/Another Round in the section on the Louis Poulsen PH 5. Such a great film.


Thank you! And yes Druk was a really great movie.


They don't decide on a recall. They can sanction an MP, such as suspension from the House of Commons.

Instead, a recall petition - requiring 10% of an MP's constituents to sign to then recall - is automatically triggered when an MP is suspended for 10 or more days.


This has happened e.g. in 2023 to Margaret Farrier - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-663...

Her recall got nearly 15% of eligible voters which is about half as many votes as she got to win the seat in 2019. Thousands of locals came out solely to sack this MP.

Quick timeline: elected December 2019; spreading covid September 2020; guilty plea August 2022; loses seat July 2023 (10 months before the next general election)


Notably, Binface got about 1500 more actual votes than that petition would need signatures, on a hot August day.

The petition is published for six weeks!

Farage must be very uncomfortable now.


Farage engineered this situation to try to take control of the narrative about the investigation into £5m of undeclared income/gifts.

They neutered that move by not entering the contest in the first place. And Binface (with support of 32 other candidates) turned it into a humiliating exercise.


He was, that is solid Reform territory.

But Farage did not get to control the narrative of the situation ghat _he_ created - instead managed to beat a man with a bin on his head.

Well done, Nige.


BBC’s the State media, run by British Intel. THEY create the narrative, and we know what they think of Farage and Reform.


Wait, so you are saying that Farage did not receive an undisclosed £5 million personal gift from a cryptocurrency billionaire? Or he did, but any reporting on it is obviously the deep state ganging up on him?


The BBC has had Nigel Farage on constantly. He is one of the most frequent guests on BBC Questiontime, their flagship political programme for at least fifteen years. He is partly of their creation.


Uh, so you Brits have this kind of chaps too?


Amd the winner of the by-election didn't even attended the announcement of the results.


I am so glad to see these guys get some well-deserved attention!

I worked with the founders Marcus and Rob, and met their infographics whizz Christian waay back when they were kicking this off. I was blown away by it then, and I continue to be blown away now.

Here's to the next 15 years!
