Once upon a time, traders specialised in nutritious goods that they knew a great deal about. Now, people with no idea what they're selling work in soulless supermarkets that are packed with processed rubbish. We don't simply need to go back because we'd feel more at home, but because we'd live happier and healthier lives. ⏳️

TR is such a talentless prat that without the press or Elon musk promoting him he'd fade away as the exposed foreign asset he is.

The UKs most confined, isolated prisoner earned his punishment for killing child predators. A special glass cell wasn't built for child abusers or mass murderers, but for Robert Maudsley, who executed child predators in prison. He has been confined there for over 45 years, making him the world’s most isolated prisoner.

The days when Londoners took lovely trips to Margate. You can genuinely hear how much more at peace they were within themselves and their surroundings than the average person is today. (1970s) 💔⏳️

"Look at what they've done to it now." In this episode of Only Fools and Horses, Uncle Albert stands at the Shadwell Basin (East London) and reflects upon the erasure of all he knew and loved. This scene cuts me to my core. This is exactly how I feel when I stand there, many other places in London, and, of course, Britain overall. Each generation seems to slip further from familiarity, normality, and even morality. Until, one day, there will be nothing left to recognise and no one left to recognise anything even if there was. Moments before this scene, Rodney had walked out of the Prospect of Whitby pub in Wapping, which is a few yards away. I could write about this scene all day, but in the end, it speaks for itself. "They were rough people. They were good people" 💔⏳️
