If you're a fan of Terry Pratchett and you know what the 25th of May means, then you need to listen to this.
It's a wonderful tribute.

"As I recall, they used to sing it after battles," he said. "I've seen old men cry when they sing it," he added.
"Why? It sounds cheerful."
They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will.#Discworld #GloriousRevolution #GNUTerryPratchett #glorious25th #gloriousrevolution

@EmmettMacfarlane I would love to read it but at 82 and 900 pages - no can do. I will see if there is a summary. I enjoyed learning about the #GloriousRevolution of 1688 (Great Britain) from the book: "Why Nations Fail".

@ksaust Another good audio book on how the #Oligarchy controls the world is: "Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty," -->> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Nations_Fail Very enlightening. The story about Nogales in Mexico and Nogales in Arizona says it all. #ExtractiveInstitutions #1 reason. I found the bit about the #GloriousRevolution (1688) in Great Britain very informative.
