To be clear re ANDREW TATE. If a case does not make the criminal court it does not mean that there is no evidence against the accused, but rather that there was not enough evidence for 'proof beyond reasonable doubt; (very rare in rape/sex abuse cases) as i explained on @piersmorgan @PiersUncensored

Charles’s historic stopover, he was careful not only to embolden his own country’s sovereignty but also to underscore the “vitality of our constitutional monarchy…’ Small wonder Charles made the effort to cross the Atlantic. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/r...

Charles is following an important tradition – keeping Canada out of America’s hands

As Donald Trump rants about a 51st state, the King’s successful visit to Ottawa has reminded the world that he is Canada’s monarch – and no amount of posturing by the US president can erase that royal...

@tessadunlop.bsky.social's 'Lest We Forget: War and Peace in 100 British Monuments' is so good on the contested nature of memorials and memorialisation. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

Protecting Churchill is to miss the point, writes Tessa Dunlop

It will soon become a criminal offence to climb on Winston Churchill’s outsized statue.

Românian exit poll 54.9% Nicușor (centrist) 45.1% Simion ( far right) But that does not include the large diapsora vote. More likely to be in favour of Simion. Good luck Romania @iaindale.bsky.social
