A fascinating account of the longitude problem and the way it was solved
The Royal Navy lost over 1,300 men in one night. 👑 ⚓🇬🇧
To a question. ❓
Where exactly are we? 🌊
Parliament offered £20,000 to anyone who could answer it.
Millions in today's money. 💰
Even Isaac Newton doubted it could be done. 🧠
Then, in a Lincolnshire village, a young carpenter started building clocks. 🔨
No title. No university. No fortune.
What happened next took forty years. ⏳
They teach you Isaac Newton.
They rarely teach you John Harrison. 🇬🇧

This is a fascinating watch and highly recommended
Britain ran the slave trade. Britain sent seven-year-olds into the mills.
And Britain ended both. 🇬🇧
How can one country be the villain and the hero? It can't. There were two Britains.
One owned people. The other did the work.
When slavery ended, historians counted every slave owner living in Britain. About three thousand, in a country of sixteen million. 📜
Bankers, merchants, lords and MPs. The other Britain couldn't vote them out: most men had no vote, and no woman had one. 🗳️
Take Samuel Greg. In 1784 he built Quarry Bank Mill at Styal, in Cheshire. By the time he retired, it was the biggest cotton mill in the country.
More than half his workers were children. Many were orphans from the workhouse. 🧵
Four thousand miles away, the Greg family owned the Hillsborough sugar plantation on Dominica, worked by enslaved Africans. 🌴
The blankets they slept under were made at his mill. Orphan children here. Enslaved Africans there. Making money for the same family.
So who stood up to them?
In 1787 a young campaigner called Thomas Clarkson went to Bristol. ⚓
Thompson, landlord of the Seven Stars pub, refused to help trick sailors onto the slave ships. Instead he took Clarkson round the dockside pubs at night, at real risk to himself.
The crew lists showed two slave ships to Africa had killed more British sailors than eighty-three ships to Newfoundland. Their stories helped turn the country against the trade.
Manchester didn't even have an MP. So more than ten thousand people, about one in five in the town, signed a petition to end it. ✍️
In 1830 Richard Oastler heard about Bradford's mills. One boy of about ten worked from six in the morning till ten at night.
Oastler wrote to the Leeds Mercury. He called it Yorkshire Slavery. 📰
In April 1832, thousands of mill workers walked to York to fight for their children. They called it the Pilgrimage of Mercy. 🚶
Against slavery, women went door to door. One petition in May 1833 carried 187,000 women's names. Not one of them could vote. 👩
Then came two dates.
28 August 1833: Britain signs the law to end slavery across most of the Empire. 🇬🇧
29 August 1833: the very next day, it signs the Factory Act. No child under nine in most textile mills. 🏛️
Neither law was a gift from the slave owners. Both were won by people with no vote, no money and no power.
So next time someone tells you "Britain did this", ask them: which Britain?
Odds are five thousand to one you come from the side that won.
Watch the full story. 🎥

There were five slave trades. You were taught about only one. 🏴🇬🇧
One. The Atlantic. Twelve million Africans shipped to the Americas. Britain banned it in 1807, then hunted it for sixty years.
Two. The Barbary trade. A million Europeans taken to North Africa. Britain bombarded Algiers in 1816.
Three. The Saharan trade. A thousand years of caravans north across the desert. Britain had its northern end banned. Tripoli, 1857.
Four. The East African trade. Twenty thousand people a year through one customs house. Britain forced the market shut. 5 June 1873.
Five. The Ottoman trade. Raiders sold Eastern Europeans south for three hundred years. Britain made the Sultan ban it in 1854.
It cost sixty years and two thousand sailors. Nobody else fought all five. 🙏🇬🇧
It isn't over. Mauritania only made it a crime in 2007. Fifty million people are in slavery today.
Someone has to remember who started the fight. ⚓🇬🇧💪

NEW- Rupert Lowe interview with Eva Vlaardingerbroek youtu.be/crr4UN-_74U?is=uIca… via @YouTube
I would urge everybody to listen to this interview and then share with their friends and family.
We need to galvanise Britain to ensure that Rupert Lowe becomes our next Prime Minister.

A crowd of Glasgow housewives once froze rents across Britain. 🇬🇧
With a bell. A rattle. And a bag of flour.
Watch the full story. 🎥
Glasgow, 1915. Workers poured into the city for war work.
There weren't enough homes to go round. So the landlords hiked the rents. 📈
Lots of those families had a man serving overseas.
Fall behind on rent? The factor sent the bailiffs. 🚪
Not one of those women could vote for an MP.
Mary Barbour, an engineer's wife from Govan, brought them together anyway. 🔔
Pay the old rent. Refuse the rise. Not a penny more.
When a bailiff came up the stairs, a woman rang a bell.
Doors flew open all the way up the building.
Flour if they'd been baking. Wet washing if they'd been washing. 🧺
Usually, he ran for his life. 🏃
By November 1915, up to twenty thousand Glasgow tenants were on strike.
Then a factor took eighteen of them to court. ⚖️
On the morning of the hearing, the shipyards walked out.
Thousands of men marched with the women. 🚢
Britain was fighting a war. It needed those munitions.
The cases were dropped.
Within weeks, Parliament froze rents across the country. Parts of that law stayed on the books until 1989. 📜
You were probably taught how women won the vote.
You probably weren't taught what came first. 🗳️
Mary's bell only worked because every door opened.
The bell's ringing. Come out and join us: proudofus.co.uk 🔔

In the middle of the House of Lords, in front of the throne, is a large red cushion with no back and no arms. It has been the most important seat in the chamber for 650 years, and it is a sack of wool.
Edward III put it there in the 1300s. He ordered that his Lord Chancellor, when he sat in council, should sit on a bale of wool, so that nobody in the room could forget what the country was built on. By then wool paid for the Crown. The tax on every sack leaving the ports funded Edward's wars in France. The Battle of Crécy in 1346 was fought, in large part, to keep the wool route to Flanders open.
It is still there. The Lord Speaker sits on it every day the House meets, with the mace laid behind. A peer who wants to join a debate has to get off it first and speak from the floor.
In 1938 somebody finally looked inside. Over the centuries the wool had quietly gone, and the Woolsack was full of horsehair. It was rebuilt and restuffed with fleeces sent from every sheep country in the Empire, so that the thing the Lords sat on was British wool again.
That is the symbol the nation chose for itself. Not a crown, a sword or a Bible. A sack of what came off a sheep's back.
For 400 years English wool was the finest in Europe, and the merchants who sold it built the churches of the Cotswolds and Suffolk that tourists photograph today.
The Lord Speaker will sit on a fleece this afternoon. The hill farmer who grew it is being paid less for it than it cost to shear.

Roman concrete could repair its own cracks.
Some Roman buildings have stood for 2,000 years, while modern concrete can start to crumble within decades. For a long time, scientists did not fully understand why.
The Romans made their concrete from lime, water and volcanic ash from the area around Pozzuoli, near Naples. The ash reacted with the lime and created a material that grew stronger over time instead of weaker.
In 2023, a team from MIT led by Admir Masic found another piece of the puzzle, small white lumps of lime scattered through the concrete.
Scientists had always thought these lumps were a sign of careless mixing. In fact, they were the repair kit. When a crack forms and rainwater gets in, the lime dissolves and refills the crack with new mineral, sealing it from the inside.
The secret was “hot mixing.” Instead of using slaked lime, the Romans added quicklime directly to the mix. It heated up as it reacted with water and left these lumps behind on purpose.
To test the idea, the team cracked samples of concrete made with the Roman method and let water run through them. Within two weeks, the cracks had sealed completely. In concrete made without the lime lumps, the water kept flowing.
Roman harbour concrete went even further. Pliny the Elder wrote that once it touched the waves, it became a single block of stone that grew stronger every day. In 2017, geologist Marie Jackson showed he was right, seawater slowly grows rare crystals inside the concrete that hold it together.

What happened in Gosport is a humiliation for the British people, again.
The police implemented a dispersal order to cover the town of Gosport. It is astonishing the levels of our establishment go to in order to import these men.
These third world invaders will now be spread around the country - housed, fed, accommodated, cared for.
It is treason.
I want to be abundantly clear over what a Restore Britain Government will do.
If a civil servant or politician has knowingly placed unvetted dangerous criminals in our communities?
They will be prosecuted, and where appropriate, sent to prison.
I am sick of it. The British people are sick of it.
We need to deport millions, and send those responsible to prison.
It's that simple.

I have seen left wing idiots (and some Reform members) ridiculing Ruperts speech delivery. His mannerisms whilst speaking and how we "filled a tent" whilst Reform filled an Arena 🙄🥱.
Let me say this. From tiny acorns grow mighty oaks. @RestoreBritain @RupertLowe10 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴

In 1967 Britain had more electric vehicles on its roads than every other country on earth put together, and they were all delivering milk.
There were tens of thousands of them. The milk float: open sided, battery under the floor, top speed of about 15 miles an hour, and a whine you could pick out in your sleep. It was charged overnight at the depot and was back there by lunchtime.
It carried glass bottles. Each one was collected from your step the next morning, washed and refilled. A bottle went round like that 20 or 30 times before it broke. The foil cap went for scrap. There was no other packaging.
The milk had come from farms within a few miles, through a local dairy, and was on the step before 7.
So here is what the country had. A zero-emission delivery fleet. Reusable containers with a return rate any modern scheme would kill for. No plastic. A supply chain you could cycle the length of. A man who noticed if an old lady's bottles were piling up, and knocked.
It was dismantled in about 15 years, because a supermarket could sell milk a few pence cheaper in a plastic jug as a way of getting you through the door.
Every piece of that system is now the subject of a government target for 2040.
It was running in 1967, silently, in the dark, and nobody thought it was worth a mention.

You don’t post this and the detail about a deal in your interims if you’re not confident of the forthcoming well result coming in positive.
Feels like news next week.
Opportunity for buying.

Keep your eyes 👀 peeled RNS can land anytime, could come intraday as PG may want to catch market off guard!
Day 17/20 today. Will have recorded gas shows in the well bore. MDT and wire line logs should have been run.
May even now be flow testing.
Prize is enormous, and transformational for the company.
