Today in 1969, The Beatles performed their legendary rooftop concert on the roof of the Apple Corps building in London.

They played for the city for 42 minutes before being stopped by the police.

It was John, Paul, George, and Ringo’s final public performance as “The Beatles”.

Launched as a ferry in 1949, by the 1960s MV Balmoral became very popular as an excursion boat from #Bristol due to a loophole which circumvented the UK Sunday alcohol laws. Once in the Bristol Channel, the bar was open and the ship returned to dock with many "merry" passengers!

@[email protected] @[email protected] Two points from her official Twitter profile:
1. "Likes labradors and economic growth." Nothing about serving her constituents, note.
2. "Email me for a reply." A lie, half a dozen polite but critical emails from me to her in recent months have resulted in a resounding silence.

Have you considered this @[email protected]? Or have you no real conscience, only there for the labradors and economic growth and damn the electorate when party loyalty counts for more? https://twitter.com/JMPSimor/status/1573229270264172544

BB gets to the nub of it.

Let's not forget that the name #Tory derives from Old Irish toruighe, "plunderer".

Do we have any confidence in
1. These investigations / reviews being impartial and non-partisan,
2. any ruling having teeth, resulting in consequences, and
3. this government doing the honourable thing if judged to have acted improperly?

I somehow doubt it. 🙁
