In many respects it defeats the purpose anyway.
"Is this Grade II listed?"
"Yes."
"Do you have any money to make it habitable?"
"No, but isn't it a lovely ruin?"

So who is Henry West Gaming? He is claiming to stand in Clacton by election.
He claims, 'I'm just an idiot, it's not that deep'.
Is this correct?
Let's have a look at Mr West through his own words, action, and inaction. /1

Another complaint to the BBC about reporting on Stanley Drew has resulted in even more errors.
He was part of 1/5th Welch, not 5th Welch & died on 21 July at Le Bon Repos, near Hill 112 & Evrecy.
The Falaise Gap unfolded about 3 weeks later, nowhere near Bayeux.
Utter shambles.

Looking forward to seeing this - but not looking forward to the fact that after extensive access to my work’s collection of British papers relating to the American Revolution, and a long historical context discussion with the production team, neither myself or my work’s archives are credited.
This one has been a long time coming, and I am genuinely thrilled that British audiences are finally going to get to see it.
Lucy Worsley Investigates: The American Revolution is on BBC Two on Monday at 9pm!
Hope you'll watch! Do you plan to? What are you doing on Monday night?

Overjoyed to hear that IWM are abolishing all image and film reproduction charges.
Amazing opportunities loom as our muted heritage can now be seen, heard and used, helping expand engagement across society & with marginalised groups.
Simply brilliant!
