Unearth the #Cairo Toe! 🦶 Dating back to 950-710 BCE, this wooden prosthetic toe from ancient #Egypt, now in the British Museum, reflects remarkable innovation. More than art, it's functional, enhancing mobility. A testament to resilience through the ages.

As chancellor he groupthunk #austerity as a jolly notion to improve our broken economy, he groupthunk the trickledown economics involved and he groupthunk policy projects like Bedroom Tax and student tuition fees. George sees groupthink because he knows groupthink…he’s one of the worlds leading experts at it. #gtto

When the translator asked for credit and payment, the museum acted like, well, a colonizer throwing a tantrum.
