Wouldn't it be really hilarious if Heritage England condemned Don Trumpeone as one of those Dodgy Developers who think they can present the authorities with a fait accompli by speedily demolishing a listed building just to erect their own expensive excrescence, only to be ordered to restore the East Wing back to its pristine original glory at his own expense... 🤣 😂
Only a *British* King is allowed to demolish the White House, doncha know!

among the American prisoners was Lt Colonel Winfield Scott, who was later exchanged and came back to take part in the Battles of Fort George, Chippawa, and Lundy's Lane
Scott had a substantial military career afterwards, too
#OTD October 13 1812, the Battle of Queenston Heights, the first attempted invasion of Canada by the Americans in the war
the battle was won by the British with the help of Canadian Mohawk warriors, and almost 900 Americans were taken prisoner
