Interesting Artist Fact:
Charles II was once presented a portrait by John Riley that made him exclaim “Is this like me? Oddsfish, then I’m an ugly fellow!”
Oddsfish. Is that our X account? I don't think it is.
Fantastical Truth is from @Lorehaven, which makes me wonder where that other account came from. I'll check.
Anyway, thank ye, Kerry!
'It's a betrayal'
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg says that Natalie Elphicke's defection to Labour from the Conservatives is betraying the voters, because the public vote for the party and not the person.
I'm just over here wondering what type of oddsfish human sees some supposedly good news for a Brand and immediately thinks, YES! Bad news for my (supposed) ENEMIES.
Nice way to follow virtuous heroes!
Anyway, #RestoreTheSnyderVerse.

Want to know how Catholics survived the English persecution of the Faith?
Read Mgr. Robert Hugh Benson's series of historical novels:
By What Authority?
The King's Achievement
Come Rack! Come Rope!
