So my legend of a cousin Lorcan just realised he was kind of important to the creation of @foofighters @FooFightersUK He saw a video by Dave Grohl talking about why he got back to work after a visit to Ireland. Lorcan was out hitchhiking wearing his nirvana top when Dave stopped
ALT Lorcan Dunne wearing the nirvana top that influenced Dave Grohl to create The Foo Fighters

Words cannot describe how disappointed I am with the disillusioned people of Clacton. This is the slippiest of slippery slopes that has led to the worst possible outcomes in countries across Europe in the past 100 years. Clearly lessons haven’t been learned enough 😢😞

Today is the 379th anniversary of the 1645 Siege of Leicester. The brutal sacking of the town directly led to Naseby and was cited as justification for Charles I’s execution at his trial. Find out more with my episode: An UnCivilWar: youtu.be/oB4PWQTDj9Y?si=sp2z… @visit_leicester
