The Old Bell Tavern 🔔 - 95 Fleet St, Greater, #CityOfLondon, #London, #EC4Y
#FleetStreet was one of the most important places in #London for a long time. Like Lombard Street was for banking, or Cloth Fair was for textiles, Fleet Street was the home of printing and journalism. As with each of these areas, there's far more to Fleet Street and the 'Old Bell' than meet the eye. From its tales of England's journalistic pioneers to rumours of the secret service, this little gem is a treasure chest of goodies. Join myself (@VinnieSull1van) and @ChelseaDan5 as we visit this beauty and explain a few reasons as to why it, and its like, should be preserved or imitated long into the future.

Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. Elsewhere, version 8.6 of Telegram integrates the in-app camera option into the gallery, while a new navigation bar gives quick access to photos, files, location sharing, and more. As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows. Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever." False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects.
