I’m not sure It was just a light hearted quip, but I understand two are anti immigration or similar and one is a counter protest.
Just come past. There’s the fairly regular flag wavers in Victoria Square (no idea who they are specifically) with a counter-protest and a few plod keeping them apart, then there was an actual formal march by Britain First heading along Jameson Street. Seems relatively peaceful so far, but you never know.
Funnily enough, a very close friend of mine who is a pilot was in the RAF club in London today, and went for a pint at the pub they have in the basement called the Running Horse (no I have no idea either). It has just reopened after refurbishment, and to be fair it was getting a bit tired. I've had many a pint of Spitfire and a chicken curry in there and nobody cared about the surroundings, they were fine. Anyway, my mate started sending through lots of pictures of the 'new look' and was in a state of shock. Gone are all, and I mean ALL, the paintings and photos of every type of RAF aircraft from over the years and replaced by random pictures of horses and cartoons, a big wall relief of a horse, and basically no reference points to where the bloody bar is and who it serves. It seems our woke RAF, as proven by ridiculous DEI policies in recent years, is not keen on people having a beer in their own ****ing pub and looking at and being proud of the aircraft history of this country. Utterly ridiculous and pathetic. The rest of the RAF Club is a bit of a museum to military aircraft artwork it must be said, but the bloody pub has lost the lot.
Were you looking for the Book Club thread? I thinks it's slipped down a couple of pages but you'll find it if you try hard enough
It's offices, they've done a great job of it - https://allenbycommercial.co.uk/our-property/monocle-hull/
Should have got them to stay. They would have finished ioff the city centre Castle Street project in 2 weeks
Very similar in size and design to the new Harper Collins facility in Robroyston Glasgow,hopefully it hasn't been built with a similar purpose...(Namely a vastly improved cutting edge automated warehouse and logistics system,which ultimately costs jobs)... Call me a luddite but these type of developments are cutting workforces up and down the Country.
It's not actually a warehouse, it's a factory, offices and R&D laboratories (I think they plan to have about 200 staff there).
