Why does anyone take this skidmark seriously > Simon Schama
Maybe he was too stupid to spot that it's a fake but why has he left it up despite everyone pointing out that it's fake?🤔

Semley Auctioneers a collection originally sold off, of course, piecemeal by the Blackshirt grandson of Augustus Pitt-Rivers, and his fascist girlfriend

remarkable that in 2024 Semley Auctioneers would offer these skulls for sale to the highest bidder in this manner — profiting through their commission on the sale of human remains

Twenty (20) ancient Egyptian human skulls from the second Pitt Rivers collection are up for auction in Dorset

a grim reminder that it’s still possible for people (and auction houses) to profit from selling the body parts of African people in the UK today

Not a story I was familiar with.
Interesting. Give it a read.

Simon Jordan doesn't really think Salah is overrated. It's talksport; every morning the producer hands out the day's topics, along with good & idiotic positions that have to be taken, to stimulate debate. Just happens that Jordan drew the short straw today, rather than Agbonlahor

Eve Barlow, accusing others of - 'insufferable, bratty, narcissistic, self-aggrandizing bullshit' - absolutely beggars belief.

The best Earl Grey I've tasted. £4.50 for just 15 bags🤔 however, the only EG I've had made with actual bergamot oil rather than synthetic flavouring - cuz It takes 200kg of fruit to produce 1L oil, so largely prohibitive. Proper leaves used, not usual bag dust. Bag swells 150%.

This was on BBC One in 1979. The idea that you'd get something like this (however milquetoast it might have been) on one of the main channels seems far-fetched these days

'Londonistan' is the same, not so thinly veiled, racist filth as when scumbags referred to New York as 'Jew York' for much of the 20th century - due to a rising Jewish population.

The Spectator magazine reporting on the raid on Freedom Press offices by Special Branch in 1945. I doubt the current incarnation editorial team would be as sympathetic.
