In 2020 a neo-Nazi attacked an immigration law firm named in the Mail off the back of government briefings and criticism of "activist lawyers". Priti Patel, at least, should have been made to resign. But the trial took so long it can only be fully reported now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A Soviet T-34-85 tank and an American M17 halftrack driving on a dirt road in Danzig. The T-34-85's fenders were replaced with those taken from a GAZ-AA truck. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A useful reminder that the Allied army assembled to destroy the Axis in North Africa in the autumn of 1941 was multi-racial and religiously very diverse indeed. rommelsriposte.com/2022/01/09/h...

Rejoin is not Remain. There's a key difference. Remain was a warning of danger ahead. Rejoin is a rescue mission.

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition... www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymout...

Kind of wild how a load of people think they are going to get a general election because they signed an online petition and Starmer isn't as popular at the moment as he was on day 1. It wasn't that long ago that this happened 👇

Yet another privatisation scheme in utter chaos 🤬 The oral health gap between rich and poor is widening. Tooth decay remains the no 1 reason a child will end up in hospital. Properly fund NHS dentistry so everyone who needs care can secure it... you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Narrator voice: “Little did he know…”

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out. #JeremyClarkson

Sometimes, the fewest words can be the most powerful. ‘My Son’ George Leonard Boyes, Royal Army Medical Corps, 2nd (London) Field Amb. was just 19 when he died on 4th April 1915.

The case for the UK to join the EU is getting stronger by the day. If you’re onboard, make sure you join the >23,400 members of European Movement UK. This is how it builds. —> www.europeanmovement.co.uk/membership

23 September 1943, Carabiniere Salvo D'Acquisto is executed by German paratroopers at Torre di Palidoro, near Rome. He falsely confesses responsibility for an explosion that kills two Germans to save the lives of 22 innocent civilians rounded up for execution in reprisal [Thread] >> 1

If you can see this, post Hawk.

A French Arsenal VB10 fighter towers over the development team. A novel pre-war idea, if not entirely successful, post-war!

Oh Sunak, What a day you’ve had. So desperate to be the establishment figurehead on this day of remembrance. But instead, being the handmaiden for fascist thugs marauding through London, ruining Armistice Day with their ugly disrespect. On your watch. Invited by you. For shame.

I don't want Palantir anywhere near our NHS data... ...and neither should you. Share everywhere and sign below. 👇👇

Excellent article on commemoration. This stopped me. How relevant still. "In 1922 there was a memorable march by the unemployed to the Cenotaph after the official ceremonies on 11 November where veterans wore pawn tickets instead of medals."

An abandoned FCM 36 of 2e Platoon, 2e Company, 7e BCC (combat tank battalion). The FCM 36 was a difficult tank to build and was quite costly to buy however, despite the rather ineffective main gun, the tank was effective in action, often inflicting reverses on the Germans in May and June 1940.

Boris Johnson believed the UK was being "pathetic" about Covid, and should just have "a cold shower" and "let it rip", according to private messages sent by the Cabinet Secretary Simon Case.

An Avion Marcel Bloch M.B.152 fighter of SPA94 "Le Mort Qui Fauche" (Death Who Reaps), denoted by the insignia on the tail of death dashing forward with his Scythe. The M.B.152 was one of a raft of 3 new French single-seat fighters introduced to the Armee de l'Air just prior to WW2.

B1 Bis BOURRASQUE (No 257) of the 1ere Company, 15e BCC, 2e DCR, after taking on elements of Panzer Regiment 1, outside Mortiers on 17 May 1940. Clearly seen is the Blue Heart card suit turret marking, denoting a 2e Company tank, within 1ere Platoon.

A French Captain of the 23rd BCC (Combat Tank Battalion), during the unit's receipt of the Croix de Guerre in Metz-Magny, October 1939. At the time they were stood up, 23rd BCC were equipped with the Renault R35 tank.

Every time something materialises. I'm so lame.

I think it’s time for common terminology here. I think it’s ALMOST universally accepted that a post should be a ‘bloot’? Therefore a ‘blooter’ bloots bloots (note gender neutrality 🏳️‍🌈) A thread can be a ‘zootbloot’ A zootbloot >100 bloots can be a bloater (alternatively stoater) All agreed?

Trying to get hold of original French WW2 uniforms is proving surprisingly difficult. A recent trip to the history museum in Prague might explain why...

The absurdity of having the Tory chairman Lee Anderson interview Home Secretary Suella Braverman on a so called “news channel” was laid bare tonight. He failed to challenge her on any of the patently misleading statements she has made this week (highlighted in this film)

Utterly, utterly fascinating.
