#OnThisDay 1977: Thanks for the Memory - The Viewer's View asked people what they thought about television. This woman was likely approached for a snappy vox pop, but ended up delivering something closer to a dramatic monologue.

Did you know banks sell your debt for 10 cents on the dollar? Then collectors harass you for 100% of it. Michael Sheen entered this market in 2023. But instead of collecting, he erased everything. Here's how ONE man exposed the BILLION-dollar scam freeing 900 families: 🧵

Did you know? The co-discoverer of black holes – the Australian Louise Webster – has been forgotten. I’m giving away 5 signed copies of my new book, A CRACK IN EVERYTHING to a UK person chosen at random from those retweeting this https://t.co/UMGPR7LbDf

The UK’s new Labour government needs to dust off the ISC’s 2020 Russia Report classified annex with a view to sanitising and publishing it. The British people should know why Boris Johnson suppressed the report and just how far Putin and his cronies have corrupted our democracy.
