Watching the gammon boiling their piss about overthrowing the current UK govt with US help is predictable and pitiful. Strokers the lot of them.

An interesting point, but which date would we choose? 24 April 1916, 19 January 1919 or 18 April 1949? The fact that Article 3.1 of the constitution remains unfulfilled could be a key element in this. Or, was it The Spaniard (Da Valera) playing it safe with the then politically volatile British?

19 January 1919 is missing, granted it's not official, with the 24 April Post Office declaration being officially commemorated. @robertbohan.bsky.social your guidance is always appreciated if I'm wide of the mark.

Of course it did. Congratulations to all who indulged and turned a blind eye to the behaviours of the tangerine tyrant. This really is on so many people.

Happy New Year in advance to all my followers. May 2026 bring success and easily located parking places. May your enemies suffer minor inconveniences on an irregular basis and may the sun shine on a laundry day.

Fish and chips was invented by a Sephardi fish fryer and an Irish potato seller in London's Docklands as a quick and cheap meal for the stevedores.

Pleased to announce a new series for Substack in 2026; open.substack.com/pub/philipwb...

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

Next time Deform claim they're not far right show them this post. A great deal of juvenile nonsense by Sonia to unpack, but the big give away is the handle of the individual tagged at the end; Far Right Floozy. These people are not the sharpest are they?

The moment you realise Facebook has become a far right echo chamber the quicker it all makes sense.

Why did Hornby choose TT over N guage?

No it didn't. He upset the right people. Excellent.

So the tangerine tw*t has gone fully Rogue. In other news "flange" will be my go to personal insult in future.

Uncle Chuck knocking it out of the park this year. Pity it's going to go over a lot of folks heads.

Always a wonderful feeling to see your work in the wild.

One necessary preparation for Christmas is to adjust the tracking on the chair with wheels. This is a delicate and precise process using state of the art equipment and experience from running Trumpets and Rovers. Never consider your life experiences redundant when a new challenge arises. #activeuser

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

Have some Yule cheer courtesy of System 7. If you get the chance to see Miquette and Steve in 2026 do so, you won't regret it, and remember to take your dancing shoes! youtu.be/KIpTJAGnymA

Found a new drinking game; watch the Bank of America ice rink webcam and take a swig every time someone goes down. Sorry, not sorry.

Walliams eh? Its always the ones you expect.

The final poster of this years shameless self promotion, this time featuring my four Land Craft titles published by Pen and Sword Books. A huge thank you to all you who have taken the plunge and purchased any of my books in 2025. I hope you enjoyed reading them.

FOI request sent to organization. Organization finally responds with "information attached" letter/email. No information is attached. Go on, guess the organization.

My latest musings on substack, this time an updated piece on Total Defence. open.substack.com/pub/benskipp...

Stalker is on YouTube! Get in!

Middle class Pearson romanticising the lot of a class she's never been part but loves to deride as part of the far right clique with an alarming regularity while repeating Putinesque sound bytes is of course completely on cue. There's mental gymnastics and cognitive dissonance, then there's Pearson.

I know the feeling...

The Christmas countdown continues and today a gentle reminder that my four Battle Craft titles are, like all my books, available as hard copies and eBooks from Pen and Sword Books. #militaryhistory #historywriter #elalamein #stalingrad #operationmarketgarden #battleofthebulge #christmasbooks

Nothing says patriotism like leaning against the Cenotaph and resting the sole of your trainer on it. Pair of pricks

After a 30 year wait it's fair to say the Ozric Tentacles delivered... And then some. Buzzing is the only word I can think that describes tonight.

Could you live in a dystopian world where moral values have all but gone and life is on the edge?

Me: I'm off to see The Orb and the Ozric Tentacles this weekend. Dowager: What happens if you have a seizure. Me: No one will notice. Dowager: What do you mean? Me: ....

A nice surprise from The Royal Lancers Regimental HQ. That's one snazzy card.

I'm shocked I tell you. Having met Bradley he is the worst kind of politician; stupid, ambitious and lacking self-awareness. His behaviour in office was at time offensive and others laughable. An individual bereft of any noticeable talent beyond shit stirring and faux outrage. He'll fit right in.

What better way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Christmas and New Year than to curl up on the sofa with a mug of something special and with a good read. So go on, treat yourself from one of my aviation titles now available from Pen and Sword Books... you known you want to. #avgeek

#terriertuesday Coco is like a coiled spring. Honestly.

If only I had this level of confidence I'd be unstoppable.

Have you read 1984? This is where the US is right now; video executions of the nameless and defenceless.

Of course "Woke" is among the reasons for this bollocks. Why are these people unable to accept personal responsibility for the changes they want rather than continually blaming an imaginary boggyman. Pitiful stuff. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

GDPR is gunning for my patience this year. Second incident involving parties who should know better.

A new hobby; watching horse race trains on Instagram.

2014: “I admire Putin as an operator” 2010-14: Appeared on Russia today 17 times 2017: Knighted by a 7 year old girl on RT 2022: blames EU for Russian invasion 2024: “We provoked this war … of course it’s his fault – he’s used what we’ve done as an excuse” Is this not dodgy?
