Reposted by EkithumpDan Snow @thehistoryguy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy. 791824512

Reposted by EkithumpOtto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Seems that the person who drafted the Green party motion came via Your Party and joined - by her own admission - to press this simply because the Greens had a bigger platform.

Reposted by EkithumpOtto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago. 671759598
