And because it was excavated by the pros, instead of some dark-of-night sociopath, we have this nice article with photos.

“I am a proud dark of night sociopath metal detectorist.”

a good description of my older brother who cruised the predawn neighborhood on trash days looking for “good stuff” to salvage. No random trash picker, his specialty was bicycles & lawn mowers.

The point that grabbed me in this story: England is building a 3.2 Jiggawatt nuke plant? That seems so reasonable and intelligent. Not at all like modern England.

I wonder if some of that taxpayer money our Deep State laundered through Ukraine is going to pay for Sizewell C...

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

It’s not.

Which is why the UK’s Deep State is busily trying to memory hole it all except for the bits that suit it.
