Arched entrances would be cut into the wall & a new fence would built to ensure Palace security & privacy

Our vision is to create a place of tranquility in a walled garden carved from a sliver of the 42-acre Buckingham Palace Gardens: a living legacy to #QueenElizabeth

Originally conceived to to mark the #Queen’s 90th birthday, the idea for #QueenElizabethMemorialGardens has been developed over many years
The gardens would include woodland, wild flowers, a butterfly meadow as well as a statue of #QueenElizabeth.

In 1973, Marlon Brando refused to accept his Oscar & sent actress, Sacheen, to deliver this message in his place
People booed!
Clint Eastwood mocked her!
Off stage, John Wayne had to be restrained to stop him assaulting her!

1/ So where to begin this thread? Oh, I know. The #SussexSquad and all Meghan's acolytes who seem to think #TheCrown is depicting actual history. Let me elaborate. I've been a rather armchair historian, specializing in mostly on the Russian Imperial Family going back to 1613 ...
2/ I've studied the full Romanov family tree and watched pretty much every documentary out there made on the history of #TheRomanovs. I've also watched the various films and television shows made on #TsarNicholasII and the causes of WW I. This is my book collection as proof.
3/ I have seen the 1972 Franklin J. Schaffner film, #NicholasandAlexandra. The 1974 series #FallofEagles. The 1996 Alan Rickman film #Rasputin. I've seen practically ever single documentary on the family and the events surrounding the #BolshevikRevolution and have many books ...

2/ In 2019, whilst meeting with other NATO Country leaders in London, Donald Trump and Melania met Queen Elizabeth, Then-Prince Charles, and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. What follows is a partial nonverbal and behavioral analysis of crucial portions of this interaction.
3/ In this first image, as Donald Trump walks around a corner, he holds his mouth open for an extended time in a moment of feigned surprise-happiness. For many this is an extremely common and insincere expression given upon greeting.

The bombastic spectacle preceded the outbreak of WWI by just 4 years, followed by the overthrow of the Tsars in Russia in 1917 and the German Kaiser in 1918. Similarly, the glorification of monarchy, pomp & backwardness today heralds nothing so much as war & revolution. 2/

🚨 THREAD: As #Britain continues to mourn the loss of #QueenElizabeth II, the remaining provisions of the #CoronavirusAct are due to expire in #Scotland on 30th Sept & #England #Wales around the same time.
But some 'permanent provisions' may not expire as expected... (contd.)
But some 'permanent provisions' may not expire as expected... (contd.)
While three of the provisions & a part of the fourth (s.55b) were repealed, there's mention of provisions remaining 'necessary' to support 'pandemic recovery' & the Govt Living with COVID plan.
The 'permanent provision' of s.63 - 'power to make supplementary provisions' & it's permanent fixture by virtue of s.89 of the Act, raised our eyebrows 👀
'Retroactively' to our interpretation is the Govt saying that they don't want to let go of this particular power.

Elisabeth Borne annonce que la hausse des prix sera "contenue" à 15% pour l'électricité et pour le gaz à la rentrée 2023, grâce au maintien du bouclier tarifaire.
"Cette hausse de 15% n'est pas anodine", convient Elisabeth Borne, qui promet des aides pour les plus modestes.
Des chèques énergie "exceptionnels" de 100 ou 200 euros seront versés "d'ici la fin de l'année pour les 12 millions de foyers les plus modestes", par exemple.

جتنا جلد میں چلا جاؤں اتنا ہی بہتر ہے۔ اس سے کوئی فرق نہیں پڑتا میں زندہ رہوں یا مر جاؤں۔ جناح کی آنکھوںمیں آنسواور ایسے شخص میں جسے عام طور پر غیر جذباتی اور مظبوط سمجھا جاتاتھا۔ جذبات کے اس مظاہرہ سےہم سب حیرت زدہ رہ گئے۔ میں تجربہ سے جانتا تھا کہ۔ جب ایک مریض ہمت ہار دے (2)
تو کوئی علاج چاہے کتنا ہی بھر پور کیوں نہ ہو ذیادہ کامیاب نہیں ہو سکتا اوراس لئے یہ بات جان کر کہ اس آہنی قوت ارادی کے شخص نے ہمت ہار دی تھی۔ سخت مایوسی ہوئی۔

"But when all that repression leaves men with no recourse but to take drastic measures to throw off the chains that bind us -- then, Uncle, what then? Is that savagery?"
The is going to be a very tough day for our country.

1/ Sejak foto Ratu #QueenElizabeth mengunjungi koloni mahkotanya di Hong Kong pada tahun 1975 beredar luas, inilah saat yang tepat untuk mengingatkan orang-orang Inggris menjadikan Hong Kong sebagai koloninya secara paksa sebagai hasil dari perang untuk menjual Opium ke China.
2/ Wakil Inggris benar-benar melakukan pekerjaan yang layak untuk meringkas bagaimana Inggris memperdagangkan berton-ton obat-obatan terlarang ke China, kemudian mengobarkan DUA Perang Opium untuk melindungi perdagangan narkobanya.
3/ Opium telah dikenal dalam pengobatan tradisional Tiongkok sejak Dinasti Tang. Itu digunakan sebagai obat penghilang rasa sakit.
Ketika penjajah Eropa memperkenalkan tembakau dari Amerika, Opium dicampur dengan tembakau di Hindia Belanda (sekarang Indonesia).
