OK, I'm really going to try and get a mega history thread out this week. Since it's involved a lot of work and I have to be concise, some things haven't made the cut, so I thought I'd hold a quiz every day until I publish...
Over the years, many have suggested to me that Ted Heath claimed there would be no loss of sovereignty, but here he is in the 1975 Oxford debate talking clearly about contributing it.

Some, on seeing this, have claimed the viewing figures would have been low for various reasons
So the question is: According to the BBC's audience research, how many viewers saw Ted Heath making this statement about sovereignty?
Note: The 2016 BBC debate (when we did all have televisions) from Wembley got an estimated 3.9 million viewers.

Yes, the correct answer was Ludwig Erhard...
Ludwig was a major supporter of our membership of the EEC. He didn't believe that a political union of Europe could exclude the UK. After his belief was reported in the Daily Mirror, ever reader was sworn to silence so that this 'secret elitist political union' didn't get out. 🙄
So today's question is quite simple:

In what year did Edward Heath win an award from a German foundation for his 'services towards the political unification of Europe'?

OK, so the answer was 10,8 million, with the highest individual show ratings in 1975 (that I'm aware of) going to the first of two Harold Wilson and Margaret Thatcher 'Talk-ins'. They managed 12.4 million.

And they sound...just dreadful.

So another question...
Some people apparently have had a weird thing of looking at treaty changes to establish if Jean Monnet was trying to hide his plans for a United States of Europe.
Other, like me, use a more scientific approach of referring to the huge press conference Monnet called on the 20th anniversary of VE day to announce the publishing of his blueprint for a United States of Europe to the whole world.
This leads us to the opinion it wasn't a secret.

Oh, a Red Tape Challenge. It's not like we could have had one of those in the EU... oh wait...we did. What was that called again?
Oh, yes: "The Red Tape Challenge".

gov.uk/government/new…
It resulted in a LOT of complaints about the Licensing Act and live music, and the main achievements were based on the fact most complaints were not around EU regulation.

I wasn't inclined to tweet about #Kashmir, but after seeing the amount of disinformation, I am going to.

I'm back in the newsroom today after a week in Srinagar.

Things are NOT normal.

People are seething. Kashmir is likely a tinderbox waiting for a spark.
When I got there on Monday, just hours after Article 370 was abrogated, the city was locked down.

I walked a km to find the nicest auto-wallah in the land.

He didn't have a clue of what had happened, why his city had overnight turned into ghost town -- blanketed with security.
Later that evening, we spoke to @shahfaesal in his living room.

Since satellite TVs were still working, news had trickled in.

“We might see an eruption when the guard is down."

“People are taking it as an act of humiliation.”

Then, the pelting began.

Mega Group, Maxwells Mossad: The Spy Story at the Heart of the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal

one aspect that warrants examination is Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence & his ties to the informal pro-Israel philanthropist faction known as the Mega Group

mintpressnews.com/mega-group-max…
However, as this report will show, another uniting factor among Mega Group members is deep ties to organized crime, specifically the organized crime network discussed in Part I of this series, which was largely led by notorious American mobster Meyer Lansky.
That company has deep and troubling connections to Israeli military intelligence, associates of the Trump administration, and the Mega Group.

Don’t be creeped out when I tell you this. I like historic sites. Okay, that’s not the creepy part. This is: Buildings + spaces call to me. No. I don’t hear things but sometimes a feeling takes over and tells me to stop and investigate and when I do...
They lead me to fascinating places. If you’re new here, you should know that I’m currently in Memphis, TN. I’m a part of a fellowship that’s going to assist me in opening my first school. Today, a friend of mine came to scoop me for lunch and on the way there I saw something...
It was an abandoned building and the plants had taken most of the lawn over, but something said: STOP. Here’s my friend @PoeticXposure explaining it...

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

#ThursdayThoughts
When U’re pursuing a worthwhile goal, it’s almost inevitable that at some point you'll think 1/more of these:
-This is harder than I thought it would be.
-Why is dis taking so long?
-I'm getting nowhere with dis.
-I keep failing at dis goal.
-I can’t do dis; What was I thinking?
...And when you do have one or more of these thoughts, it’s very likely that you will want to give up. When that happens, remember to come back to this #Thread to stop yourself from quitting.
Follow it through...
