Sunday is Day 1684 of Russia's all out war on Ukraine. But it's also exactly 4,700 since the Ukrainian people's real struggle to be free of Putin. On 21 November 2013 "Maidan" protests began after Putin ordered his puppet in Kyiv to abandon EU agreements. This is the daily🧵

HMS Hibernia was used as the flagship for the naval station at Malta from 1855 to her being sold for breaking up in 1902. Her timbers, covered in coats of paint from over 90 years, was used to fire the bakery ovens in Malta, leading to a severe outbreak of cases of lead poisoning. #NavalHistory

HMS Hibernia, a former 110 gun ship of the line, was used as the base flagship at Malta from 1855 to 1902. The Court-Martial for the loss of the Victoria was heard on her decks in 1893. She was broken up in 1903.

The BBC switching its local resources from radio to the website has been disastrous for the business model of local newspapers, but you have to balance that against how good it has been for 'the BBC's opponents' and 'random companies who now get a PR hit on the biggest news website in the UK'.

So the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition is not going very well They've sold far too many tickets and the space cannot cope with the physical number of people - how did they not do basic crowd flow/control calculations? Embarrassing that the British cannot organise a queue properly (Not my photo)

Paper flyer from the British Museum apologising for the disruption to your Bayeux Tapestry visit today

It's basically saying 'sorry we may not be able to get you in today, we will try and get you an alternative date but if we can't do this we will refund your ticket'
