This weekend's column for @thetimes - the dark secrets of history's greatest family games. None darker than the sex-murder-arson story behind, would you believe, Uno. thetimes.com/comment/column…

Today's @TheRestHistory explores the maddest story of the 1930s - the extraordinary life of the RECTOR OF STIFFKEY. ⛪️ Self-styled Prostitutes' Padre 💋 Picked up 200 girls a year 🎡 Became a Blackpool beach attraction 🦁 Killed by a lion in Skegness ✝️ linktr.ee/restishistory

What do we at @TheRestHistory think of the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre? I'll be honest, I'm dead against it. People forget that traders need access to Dixons.

Today's @TheRestHistory is a medieval mystery with a terrible afterlife. Norwich, 1144. An apprentice boy named William is found dead. But who killed him, and who was blamed? The origins of the BLOOD LIBEL - a grim landmark in European antisemitism. 🎧 linktr.ee/restishistory

Just finished @TheRestHistory series on the Irish War of Independence and Civil War. Excellent very fair exposition of controversial period in Irish history. Well done to @holland_tom @dcsandbrook with brilliant contributions by Paul Rouse and @RMcGreevy1301 Worth a listen!

Our epic @TheRestHistory series on the IRISH CIVIL WAR reaches a devastating climax. ☘️ THE KILLING OF MICHAEL COLLINS Who shot the leader of the Irish Free State, and why? What was the legacy of the Civil War? What does it mean for Ireland today? ☘️ linktr.ee/restishistory

Finally somebody has identified @TheRestHistory's commitment to dismantling the systems of western power.

If there's one thing everybody knows about @TheRestHistory, it's that the presenters burn with self-hatred.
