It was a real privilege to finally meet Robert and Paul Danny, the Grandsons of Captain John Patrick Danny, on the 100th anniversary of their Grandfather founding The Old Contemptibles' Association at the Red House in Clapton. A simple but poignant commemoration today.

A good day. 👻 🥂

Very honoured to be speaking on #InformationOperations at the @RoyalNavy Information Warfare Symposium 2025. #IW #infowars. Geopolitically it doesn’t get more topical than now!
