Alfred the Great died on this day, 899. 🕯️
In 878 the Vikings took his hall at Christmas. 🔥
He hid in the Somerset marshes with twenty men. 🌾
In spring he sent word: meet me at the stone. ⚔️
Edington. He won. Then he built the towns, the navy, the laws and the schools. 🏰
His grandson united England. 👑
The only English king we ever called Great. 🏴
Help us keep the story of England alive. 📖
Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧
Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

Let’s be clear, @GOVUK @DefraGovUK are looking to impose more standards on the uk food supply chain, and we all know the cost will be passed onto the farmer, taken from their bottom line which is currently in MAJOR deficit.
Whilst waving in imports that still use CO2 stunning 1/3
The Government has unveiled plans to phase out CO₂ stunning in pig slaughterhouses, with argon gas and electrical stunning among the proposed alternatives. ❌
While the move is intended to improve animal welfare, the pig sector has previously warned that any replacement must be commercially viable and avoid creating further problems for producers and processors.
A consultation is now open until December 21.

If Wildlife Trust is taking over, with their reluctance to carry out any predator control, I can’t help but feel this will be the the beginning of the end for the curlew there.
The government is funding one of England's biggest land purchases for nature.
£1.94 million to secure the future of The Rothbury Estate in Northumberland. @WildlifeTrusts will manage the estate for nature recovery.

Upbeat sandwich wrapper sketch-of-the-day to help you on your way.😃👍🏼
(This one from a short while ago, as I'm on half-term hols in Turkey, surrounded by what what a slightly biased, perhaps, Czech friend has just referred to as "bottle-blond, trout-lipped Russians." "And that's just the men!" chips in Mrs Allen, who's also Czech.)

Another car crash interview from Labour.
“That’s £190,000 per person…we could buy them all a house.”
This Labour govt are out of their depth. This is scarily incompetent. It’s no wonder Labour are bankrupting us and taxes are going up to pay for it.

Muslim parents protested in Vienna, Austria, over the hijab ban in schools for girls under 14.
In Vienna’s public schools, 42% of students are Muslim. In elementary schools alone, that figure rises to 46%.
These people don’t want to integrate. They want to take over by imposing Sharia and establishing a caliphate.
