I mean, after the Zionist vote I can see that there might be a drop. But is he less popular than Badenoch? and Farage? Really? I mean 2 demonstrably horrible horrible people with a much wider range of horrible horrible policy positions? I think you need to investigate the people who were poled.

I'm sick of sewage in our water! I refuse to pay the sewage portion of my Thames Water bill. Why are we paying water company CEO's obscene bonuses for the privilege of having our waterways pumped with sewage? Thames Water have failed in their responsibilities, public ownership of Thames Water now!

Ever wondered how the peacock got its eyespots? See this exquisite engraving of an Indian peacock (Pavo cristatus) from D'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (1843 - 1849). In our final study of the natural history of the Myths, look no further than the reviled Greek goddess Hera.

Packed with monuments. Some people have asked where the image from yesterday's Parish Church App announcement was taken. It is the chancel at St Mary's, Bottesford, Leicestershire. An unusual view taken from five metres up and giving a clear view of the Rutland tombs.

You could write a #reformazing history of the English Reformation around this tomb in St Mary's, Great Bedwyn. Sir John Seymour passed away in 1536, shortly after his daughter Jane married Henry VIII. His eldest surviving son became Lord Protector of the grandchild, Edward VI, whom he never met...
