First, I note not a single one of my clients is named. Lesson there.
Second, trying to ban "Mastodon" shows just how illiterate this government is on Internet issues; Mastodon is a specification, not a website. It's like trying to ban e-mail.

'One minute after the hour. All guns silent.'
At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent on the Western Front. This document from IWM's collections visualises the silence, showing artillery activity for one minute before and one minute after the Armistice.

On #ArmisticeDay, we remember the service and sacrifice of all those who have lost their lives in conflict.
ALT World War I soldiers in a trench advance towards the front, with the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae overlaid on the image. The coat of arms of the United Kingdom appears in the upper right corner.

I have tabled a parliamentary motion officially calling on the Government to recognise and protect English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish ethnicities as distinct historic identities.
We should never be ashamed to defend who we are.
All MPs have been invited to support.

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we remember.

This data center nonsense is just the modern day nuclear power debate: a bunch of alarmists are gonna set us back 30 years because they fell for misinformation, again!

Tom Holland calls for a national celebration to mark England’s 1,100th birthday next year.
King Athelstan was declared the first ‘King of the English’ on July 12, 927.
Let’s get this campaign going!

I agree with you, Lucy. But isn't it slightly odd simultaneously to be giving the vote to 16-year-olds?

“There are no plans at present for the Government to mark the 1,100th anniversary of the unification of England.”
Great 👍

Polly Tearooms in Marlborough closes after 114 years. For the same reasons that all businesses are struggling: NI rise, minimum wage, taxes, regulations.
Our rulers can’t begin to imagine what it’s like to run a small enterprise within tight profit margins.

Lots of you want the security and benefits of the US being the dominant superpower on earth while you gripe about the US doing what is necessary to remain it.

Anglo-Celtic Australians are under siege. More than 3 war memorials have been attacked, just days before Remembrance Day.

The person in charge of our education system can't spell "GCSE"
As part of our once in a generation reforms to the curriculum, Key Stage 3 will get the focus it needs to be engaging, exciting, and richer so that more children participate and progress.
To do this, schools should not routinely bring forward GSCE content and options into this important and distinct part of a child’s education.

🚨NEW: Norway's PM, Jonas Gahr støre, has personally warned the UK and Andy Burnham not join the EU single market
He claims Brussels takes "too much control" and that his country was left implementing Brussels directives

NINETY-NINE PERCENT of Australia’s international internet traffic travels through about 15 cables on the seafloor. As @RichardMarlesMP put it, they’re the arteries of modern life, and they can be cut by an anchor at night.
Protecting them is one more reason to deepen our cooperation through #AUKUS.

A remarkable and deeply moving photograph capturing the first two minutes of silence in London, 106 years ago on Tuesday 11th November 1919.
The first time a grieving nation held its collective breath.
Lest we forget.

“mandatory software on all devices”
Fuck right off with spyware being mandated by the state onto my device.
And watch cretins defend this move by looking at intentions (in this case, stopping illicit content) with no concept of outcomes & ramifications.
That’s commonplace now. It’s how you ended up with Asato’s new porn law, the cross-party OSA, etc. etc.
Fight to block child sexual abuse images unites peers and MPs in cross-party campaign
Smartphones and tablets in UK would be prevented from viewing or creating illicit content by mandatory software on all devices
