Facebook are history revisionists like Holocaust deniers

I have just been banned for 7 days for posting an article about the Russian famine of the early 1920s.  Why?

History is important to understand.  These were desperate times and must be remembered.

Facebook is marking links to their advertiser's websites as spam

I have been using legitimate websites (like UK Government, Office for National Statistics, Bank of England and Facebook advertisers) to attempt to counter Fake News with evidence.  Since the recent announced change in the Facebook algorithm, this has become increasingly difficult.  It is like Facebook is deliberately supporting Fake News by blocking evidence to counter it.  We should all be concerned about this worrying development.

I wonder if Facebook advertisers are aware that Facebook is blocking links to their websites?

Conservative "strong and stable leadership"

The Conservatives with their "strong and stable leadership" are achieving the goals of their economic policies as predicted.

The joke is that PM May's leadership has been far from "strong and stable".

May has cheek to claim ‘strong and stable leadership’

"We're all in this together" said David Cameron (former Tory PM)

There are those that SAY "we're all in this together" and there are those that DO "we're all in this together"!  I judge on actions and not words.

Conservative return to Victorian values

I'm not sure I like those who attack people less fortunate than themselves.  Not the work of a Gentleman or Lady!

Meadow End Light Railway 1954-1966

It seems that "Bubbles" ended up at the Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway.  I rang these guys on 1 December 2016, apparently they are not interested in the history of their engines.  I’m pretty disappointed and so I am posting this just in case someone does give a damn.

Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway 

I have an orignal postcard or two

I have an original ticket.

"Bubbles" March 1965 - The passengers are all my family.

This Fickr website was very useful for information:

"The brainchild of Dudley Alexander the 10 1/4" gauge Meadow End Railway operated between 1954 and 1966 in the large grounds of a private house (Meadow End) in Brockenhurst, Hants. It opened to the public on occasional Sundays with all proceeds going to charity, mostly horse charities.

It was operated by this 4-6-4 steam loco named 'Bubbles' which had originally been built by H.C.S. Bullock in 1932 for use on Captain Holder's private railway at Beaulieu, Hants where it was known as 'Audrey'.

The loco later changed hands a few times, and was even regauged to 7 1/4", but nowadays it resides on the Eastleigh Lakeside Railway where it's been converted back to 10 1/4" gauge and reverted to its original name of 'The Monarch'.

Meadow End house still survives but the land occupied by the railway was later sold and redeveloped with housing."
