An exhibition tracing the history. A Future for the Past
The exhibition focuses on various – also contradictory – perspectives on the historical context in which the arms manufacturer and patron Emil G.

🚨 Jeremie Frimpong will sign his contract at Liverpool in the next 24 hours, deal confirmed.
Dutch RB has completed first and second part of his medical with formal steps and announcement to follow.
Here we go, confirmed. ✅
I don’t think today’s UK/EU deal is really that consequential, nor do I find it exactly revolutionary, however the high pitched screaming of the Brexit usual suspects is totally worth it.
The usual drivel from the bloke who drove around with the lie on the bus. I’ve listed below all the Brexit Benefits we now lose:
Zero. Because there are none. (Although some may see the intellectual collapse of the Conservative Party as a benefit … it remains unchanged)

“History is a set of lies agreed upon.” — Napoleon Bonaparte

🌼 Flower of the Week
Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)

🐦 Bird of the Week
Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos)
This reclusive songbird is arriving from Africa. Best heard at dusk, its powerful, melodic call echoes through southern woodlands — though habitat loss has made it harder to find.
