@karencushman.bsky.social60 years before Catherine, Called Birdy is set (1290), Richard, Earl of Cornwall (brother of Henry III) “exchanged three of his manors for a small parcel of land on the north Cornish coast.” Why? Tyntagel features prominently in the story of King Arthur. #BritishHistory #KingArthur bit.ly/46YgZdR

@unionjane.bsky.socialRNLI teams are truly brave! So-called patriots don't make the effort to understand their own history. Britain's a seafaring nation & has never left people to drown; e.g. our Royal Navy, throughout history, has always made rescues. In WWII Britain even resued Luftwaffe pilots. #RNLI #BritishHistory

Fast-forward to Dover today: gangs of masked men in black balaclavas blocking the port.
The aesthetics have evolved—swapping formal blackshirts for tactical street attire—but the strategy is identical. It’s paramilitarism disguised as "protest".
