@cubnut.bsky.socialGod bless the #BritishLibrary, which, among the historically significant documents on display in its Treasures Room, alongside original doodles by Leonardo da Vinci, a page from a Gutenberg Bible, and John Lennon’s scribbled lyrics for “Strawberry Fields Forever,” is a vintage 1996 NO KINGS banner.
