They are made of chalk.
Eventually
Damn bluebirds!
Heathcliff
Heathcliff!!!
Cliffs made of chalk falls into the sea, eventually
4. Brexit - Now England is a little farther away from Europe.
The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand...

Yes.
The British WWII installation in the cliffs was one of the coolest things I saw as a tourist. The cliffs are magnificent. Chalk cliffs fall into the sea. It’s in their nature. Still, it’s Trump’s fault ... because of COVID-19. Oh, and also patriarchy or systemic racism or something.

Indeed haunting. Just as the cliffs are.
Well at least there’s no roadway there like in Cali where a big old chunk of the Pacific Coast Highway is now IN the Pacific.
White cliff supremacy no more!
” Councillor Steve Albon from the Thanet District Council urged the public, “Please use common sense and caution “
What?
A person in a position of authority in England urging people to use “common sense” ??
His arse will be cancelled soon !!
Black cliffs matter.
White don’t.
only when 6 is 9
No, let’s blame 5G - you didn’t see things like this when cell service was 4G, did you?
Racist chalk,...I’ll go with that.
Was gonna say Eric Johnson’s fault...
