As far as I know there was only a new smaller penny minted with an 1806 date, but not the twopenny piece, and the wider recoinage of 1816 didn’t include copper or bronze coins. It may be I’m missing something though. Where did you pick up there was a copper twopenny piece from 1816?

Keep in mind twopenny pieces of that era were called cartwheels - they were around 5mm thick.

Plus which the State exercises a duty of care towards prisoners and tries to keep them safe, healthy and moving towards rehabilitation and the avoidance of re-offending, whereas it literally doesn't give a twopenny fuck what happens to people in a concentration camp (at best).

I was 'in a mood' because I saw something on You Tube trashing vinyl - of course they didn't bother to listen over a decent turntable for comparison. I added my twopenny worth, but really it's like convincing those 'flat earthers' that the earth is actually round. You need to 'prove' it to them.

Charles Dickens was not exaggerating when he wrote about a dozen-plus people all living in what would nowadays be considered a studio apartment, because that was all they could afford.

Why has Britain’s oldest political magazine become such a rabid cheerleader for Islamophobia? | Nesrine Malik
A report on the Spectator’s coverage of Muslims makes for grim reading. Conservatism is now focused on this minority to the exclusion of everything else, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

David Ellison has been a producer on some fairly popular stuff. He's not a dude with his finger on the pulse, but he's not Zaslav, or he hasn't been. Larry, though? I'm not sure he gives a twopenny damn whether CBS or Paramount exist after the Trump admin.

Oh go on, then. My twopenny worth:
1. What will actually CHANGE if (once?) Starmer goes?
2. Who (apart from the "stockbroker of the people") has the charisma to connect with the public?
3. Will the public ever forgive the Labour Party the merry go round that afflicted the previous government?

Thoughts from a Labour MP:
“We have to face up to the fact every single one of them is fucking useless. Andy’s strategy has been a disaster. Angela has bottled it. Ed clearly a hiding to nothing. Wes is AWOL. God knows what Catherine West is doing. I am not quite sure how we ended up here.”

Did Victorian poor really pay to sleep slumped over a rope? This gripping dive into myth, memory, and misery investigates mikedashhistory.com/...
The Twopenny Hangover | A Blast From The Past
If you were down and out in Victorian London, where would you sleep? In a bedbug-ridden lodging house, perhaps, or, if money was too tight for that, in one of the repurposed coffins offered by the Salvation Army.
