In 1703, he then was dispatched to London as secretary to the Swedish ambassador, before becoming ambassador himself in 1710. Here he married an Englishwomen, Sara Wright. Around 1717 he became involved in a conspiracy to restore the Stuart dynasty to the British throne which led to his imprisonment in England. But this was by no means the end of his career, quite the contrary. After the English had expelled him back to Sweden, he was sent to the peace negotiations on Åland between Sweden and Russia. Unfortunately, the negotiations failed. (2/4)

...has been in this game since the coronation of the first and last #Stuart Queen, Anne, in 1702. ;)

The #BritishEmpire came (arguably) into existence with #QueenElizabethI's permission for #WalterRaleigh to set up a colony in N-America (#RoanokeIsland) 1) and was cemented by the the 1713 #TreatyOfUtrecht which ended the #WarOfTheSpanishSecession, significantly enlarging #GB.

In Tudor and Stuart times, gifts were given at New Year rather than at Christmas.
Here is a musical New Year's Gift. It's an anonymous 17th Century dance of that name from Thomas Middleton's Inner Temple Masque, or Masque of Heroes, 1619.

"If we killed 4000 Palestinian kids, it wasn't enough," says the former US National Security Council chief in this video.

Former diplomat Stuart Seldowitz was recorded abusing a food cart vendor in New York City.

Imagine this man now trying to deny he's an “Islamophobic guy”.

How many people like him are inside our governments, deciding our nations' foreign policies?

Happy #TartanDay!

This tartan is for the #Scottish #Clan "Cameron of Lochiel."

Among its most notable Clan Chiefs is Donald Cameron, the 22nd Chief of the Camerons, known as "The Gentle Cameron." (Born 1695, died 1748.)

During the #JacobiteRebellion of 1745, he fought for the cause of #BonniePrinceCharlie, but showed great mercy to the defeated city of Glasgow, which the city still recognizes today.

The Chief earned the name "Gentle Lochiel" for having spared #Glasgow when the #Stuart army retreated north, and in gratitude the citizenry decreed that the bells of the #TolboothKirk should forever be rung whenever his descendants passed through the city.

La filiale de #LaPoste Stuart, était en procès pour travail dissimulé.

Le tribunal dit manquer d'éléments démontrant le lien de subordination.

#Stuart se comporte pourtant en patron en contrôlant rémunération & conditions de travail.

Le Parlement🇪🇺 validera sa position sur une directive instaurant la présomption de salariat pour ces travailleurs.

✅Avec cette directive, le tribunal aurait statué l'évidence : ces faux-indépendants SONT des salariés.

Vivement que cette directive soit adoptée !
