@HistoryB00KBuff @YouTube This episode is simply brilliant. Fabulous combination of history and anecdotes. Learnt so much. And doing a lot to redress the guff that is so widely believed about the NAzi-Soviet Pact. Keep it up @Roger_Moorhouse @Tonisenior !

In a bewildering act of madness & dereliction of duty to the nation by @I_W_M, let us hope that @LordAshcroft VC & GC collection finds a new & better home where these selfless acts of bravery & courage can be displayed once again to educate & inspire generations to come.
My VC & GC collection is my pride and joy, each award telling an individual story of remarkable bravery and sacrifice. @I_W_M may have closed the Lord Ashcroft Gallery, but you can now take a virtual tour of it here 👉 https://t.co/ESLHquPpQq

@Heccles94 @Heccles94 Your list would carry weight if it matched the real world – but it doesn't. You're preaching to the wrong crowd. The very prejudices you condemn aren't coming from the people you scold. They're coming from the same cultures you insist Britain must absorb without

When the appearance of truth becomes more important than truth itself, credibility collapses. @ODragas predicted this in 'The Power of Perception'. The BBC scandal is only the latest case study. #BBC #PowerOfPerception #MediaTrust

QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES - my newsfeed in 3 days; from the bungling generalship of @britisharmy to concerns @PoppyLegion & legal abandonment by government …. How have some of our greatest institutions been allowed to descend into such a sorry state? It is bewildering.

An historic day at Wellington Barracks 🇬🇧 — the launch of the @1914_Sikhs Ceremonial Marching Troop, honouring the courage, service, and sacrifice of Sikh soldiers so they are never forgotten. Humbled to serve as the first Troop Captain ⚔️🫡 #Sikh #1914Sikhs #BritishArmy

The bureaucratic self-righteous tosh of @BritishArmy today; with limited war fighting capability and little to do, it has clearly lost its way. How the mighty has fallen. @ArmyCGS hold your manhood cheap.
