"their fate may have been sealed by their long links with hope and rebirth, thought to have arisen from Greek mythology. During the English Civil War, this association connected storks with rebellion, and they were persecuted to extinction"

"After centuries of being associated with good luck and new life, these once-revered birds were persecuted in the English Civil War for being associated with rebellion and became a symbol of insurgency."

UPD this can't be true - last recorded mention of storks is from 1416, some 2 centuries before the civil war.

This is nuts.

"The White Stork was once a common species in Britain, until the English Civil War. During this time they were seen as a rebellion due to Greek mythology stating them as a sign of hope and rebirth. Because of this, they were soon persecuted into extinction."

🎉🦖 Breaking news: The entire British monarchy takes a moment from their busy lives of waving and ribbon-cutting to celebrate a man who talks to penguins and gets paid for it. Meanwhile, the BBC achieves a new level of redundancy by listing every geographical location known to man in case viewers forgot where Earth is on the map. 🌍📺

Will nobody think of the hugely powerful family who paid out millions to avoid public testimony about an alleged rape, and who covered up the regular taxis of sex-trafficked hookers ferried to its palace?

The #DailyTelegraph is off its meds again, letting #CharlesMoore run amok with his pretence that the #HouseOfWindsor is just some ordinary family.

In #Starmer's Britain, being best mates with a massive pedo gets you expelled from the royal family, but not from the so-called "#LabourParty".

Ex-#PrinceAndrew lost his royal titles, but #Mandelson was left to resign from Labour ... and remains a Lord.

A frivolous but entertaining reminder of the murderous history of #BritishMonarchy. Beheading, drownings, suffocation, and worse. Ex-#PrinceAndrew whines, but he is getting off very lightly. #IrishTimes

RE:
The mystery of Prince Andrew's finances and why there are calls for more transparency….
——
“As well as being a royal pariah, Andrew remains the subject of a mystery many are flummoxed by.
The king's brother has not had a paid job for large chunks of his life, yet somehow he has managed to fund a luxury lifestyle.
A chalet in the Alps, first-class globe-trotting, hordes of personal staff and a fleet of flashy cars.
But for years there have been questions about how he has been paying for it all.
The finances of many royals, including Andrew, are shrouded in secrecy and the former prince's status as a member of the British monarchy makes him immune from freedom of information enquiries…”

THREAD: "A formal process" 😅 🤣

The #BritishMonarchy is again getting away with makeyuppy crap.

#KingCharles is not convening his lawyers to apply Section 57.4 of some Consolidated Monarchy Handbook. There is no handbook, just a history of previous actions from which the #RoyalFamily picks and chooses, or ignores.

So. £8 million of taxpayers' money to dish out a tacky portrait of Charlie for public buildings.

Could have been used to repair critical infrastructure on a railway line, saving many multiples of that.
