Saw The Ballad of Wallis Island today at Cinema Nova with @NarrelleMHarris.

What a great little film! Just five characters, three of them significant, brought together on an island off the Welsh coast when a wealthy eccentric (Tim Key) decides to pay for a private concert by a famous former musical duo he adored.

It's a lovely gentle comedy which becomes something more bittersweet and doesn't head where you might expect it to go. Recommended.

Finding a Sunday roast that isn't a perfunctory offering from a British-themed place can be challenging in Tokyo. Here are the best spots to tuck into this hearty British dish. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/10/17/food-drink/top-five-british-sunday-roasts/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #meat #vegetables #british #chef

Occasionally I run Americans saying into " #America was a colony too" in way as if that gives them some form solidarity with colonized around the world?

It's so ignorant on so many levels. Moreover, For #NativeAmericans, the transition from " #British" to "American" subjects was, arguably worse and led to a even more horrific new phase in #genocidal #colonialism, as one of the drivers of the #American revolution was a desire to further expand and colonize the #west.

I keep hearing a lot about 'British Values', and as someone born and educated in Britain I'm not entirely sure what those values are, or who gets to decide what they are. I went to our governments website to find out, and it appears British Values are comma separated. Glad I cleared that up. #british #culture

@thejapantimes On the occasion of the ‘historic’ 😂 2nd visit of a #POTUS to visit the British monarch, here’s a visual reminder of the difference between an #American #King and a #British Queen.

#Resist hilariously!

A protest in the US - but now very relevant in the UK

You have to love #British #humour for pointing out the absurdity of the current #policing inflicted by #KeirStarmer's government on its citizens, illegally arresting people (mostly pensioners) for opposing genocide in #Gaza and supporting the nonviolent campaigning of #PalestineAction. This needs to go to the #SupremeCourt! Next stop is #Kneecap's MoChara court case on the 20th, to be also judged on #terrorism charges. Via #Novaramedia, 🖌️ : #FrankRiot.
