We are devastated by the sudden loss of Gordon Wood. Known to many as one of the foremost scholars on the American Revolution, Gordon was also a teacher of generations of students and other historians who, like him, help us better understand who we are as a country and a people. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family, his many friends and all who he touched throughout his remarkable life.

Hilarious video that shows none of the Reform voters know any of Reform's policies.

If you want to know what Nelson thought of Muslims, you may want to factor in Nelson's column. See that thing on his hat? It is a 'chelengk'. Nelson was the first non-Muslim to be awarded one - as thanks for his victory in the Battle of the Nile. It was gifted to him by Sultan Selim III, who was literally the Caliph at the time. Nelson was so proud of it, as well as wearing it on his hat, he added it to his coat of arms. It is now the literal highest point of Nelson's column - a gift from the leader of the Muslim world to a devout Christian.
What we witnessed in London at the historic Trafalgar Square, in a country built on Judeo-Christian values, was a group of people attempting dominance over our capital city and our culture. We are not going to surrender everything that was built over centuries and defended at great cost in two world wars for us to be a free, independent nation. The British people will not put up with this any longer — simple as.

So Jess Ennis-Hill is a “has been” but Lizzy Yarnold isn’t? What?
#BBCWinterOlympics thank you BBC for such brilliant quirky coverage. The studio team are inspirational. Love Chemmy Alcott and Lizzie Yarnold, their explanations and sometimes hilarious demonstrations of techniques. Better than the usual boring summer lineup of has beens

New data confirms Earth’s third-warmest year on record. So, 2025 adds another dark red stripe to the climate stripes. Created by Professor Ed Hawkins, the new stripes reflect a century of climate science and provide a clear call for climate action. 👉 rdg.ac/4sGfjPX
