🎶 Oh, the Grand Old Duke of York, In tailored suits and crowns of gold, He marched his ego up the hill, With arrogance both brash and bold. Ten thousand whispers in the wind, Of parties dark and deals concealed, He climbed with friends of shadowed sin, Where innocence was

The most effective method of negotiating with terrorists.

Unless you were a conscript in the SADF in the 1980’s you wouldn’t understand the fear that a Corporal would instil in National Service recruits. Besides the humiliation of wearing an overall, with the plastic helmet liner (doibie) from a steel helmet on your head. These poor

This has to be the best one 😂

Going, going, gone! Delicious (and very spicy) vegetable stew for lunch. Small bowl, but it packed a punch. Slimmed down Wilkie.

I am not a fan of stellacreasy or her politics, however, she has a valid point. Stella, you are an MP, why turn off comments? The electorate's opinions should important to you.

I like many, am not a fan of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Having met both his brothers and his father, Andrew has always exuded an arrogance quite unpalatable to me. However, my dislike of the man should not preclude him from enjoying the same legal right as we all share in

When I was a little boy growing up in Rhodesia in the 60’s and 70’s, I liked to dress up, soldier outfits (naturally), fireman, even a sailor, though let’s be honest, the sailor phase mostly involved saluting the garden hose and pretending it was HMS Invincible. Growing up

Dear antisemites, whether you’re closeted and call yourself an anti Zionist or you’re a proud Jew hater, I have some things to tell you so you can’t say you didn’t know. Sit down. Some of this will come as a shock to you. Let’s start with the positive: - Whoever you are and

Once again, the Tories demonstrating its signature blend of condescension and incompetence. Rt. Hon Ben Wallace, a former Defence Secretary no less, mistakes Île du Coin, 130 miles from Diego Garcia, for the military base itself. After 14 years of Tory rule that hollowed out our

Here’s Harold Wilson’s holiday home on St Mary’s in the Scilly Isles. The kind of modest place that a committed public servant might go to relax with his family. Compare this to the insatiable avarice of many politicians today. Something has gone deeply wrong in our politics.

I’m really impressed and somewhat vain it may appear, as to the power of @Grok to 3D render a grainy picture into these handsome and what I can only imagine to be sought after and collectible work of art 😇

I was saying it in 2006: One of Britain’s most senior military strategists has warned that western civilisation faces a threat on a par with the barbarian invasions that destroyed the Roman empire. In an apocalyptic vision of security dangers, Rear Admiral Chris Parry said

“The problem with political jokes, is that they get elected “. Henry Cate. These roads below are in Zimbabwe, however, here in Buckinghamshire in England, some of our roads are on their way to being as bad. When councils and the government are so invested in #woke or

Take an old photo and turn it into an “oil painting”… Thanks @Grok for keeping me entertained.

This Labour MP Torsten Bell 🔚 is taking the project of #LabourLies to such extremes that he even turns off comments so that he can’t face the corrections of his lies. If people like this are reelected in 2029, it’s a damning indictment of his constituents lack of judgement or

If you ran a business, and you put your prices up 20% then knocked 5% off the next day and said you were having a sale, you would have every consumer watchdog calling you a crook. But this is what Labour are doing with energy prices. They are not down, they are up due to them.
