I would love to see a change to the order of parade at the Cenotaph.
Once the King and Royal Family have laid their wreaths, I’d like to see the politicians wait until every single veteran’s association has laid their wreath.
Politicians should stand & wait in gratitude. Remind these grifters of their place in the scheme of things.
They did not choose to serve. They did not understand the conflicts into which they had been drawn. They simply gave everything that was asked of them. 💜

🚨 ANIMAL CRUELTY CONVICTION: KIRSTY OLIVER, 38, MIDDLESBROUGH – HORSE LEFT WITH A SEVERE NECROTIC WOUND WRAPPED IN BABY NAPPIES
Red, a chestnut gelding, was left suffering with a severely infected leg wound for weeks.
When the makeshift dressings were removed, investigators discovered baby nappies had been wrapped tightly around the injury, restricting blood flow and causing further swelling.
The wound contained necrotic (dead) tissue and showed signs of longstanding infection. Red required antibiotics, pain relief and urgent veterinary treatment.
Despite efforts to save him, he was left permanently lame and was eventually put to sleep to end his suffering.

It’s Remembrance Sunday, and at 11 o’clock, we’ll pause to remember those who gave their lives in service.
For some of us, that silence brings a particular face to mind.
An oppo we served with.
Someone from the family.
A name we’ve never forgotten.
For others, it’s a moment to think about people we never knew, but whose lives, and loss, still hit home.
We'll be thinking of the men and women who never came home, those who came home carrying wounds we couldn’t always see, and the families whose lives were changed forever.
Within the Royal Marines community, remembrance is personal for many.
Behind every name on a memorial was a person, with family, friends and plans for the future.
Whether you’re attending a parade, standing at a local memorial or observing the silence quietly at home, there’s no need for grand words.
Just a moment to remember, and to keep their stories alive.
We will remember them.
@AngryBootneck If you want to "get into clay shooting" just go down to your local clay ground and talk to the staff/instructors.
They can guide you through the process of applying for a gun certificate, any kit required and provide advice on gun safety and training.
Enjoy your shooting!

Remember his name and face...
Graham Thomas, 55, Rhymney, Wales, in August 2017said it was an accident: that his dog Prince had climbed the tree by himself with a 6-meter rope around his neck
18 weeks in prison
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz broke a police officer's nose at Manchester Airport. He walked free on bail.
Danny Tommo is locked in a cell until 2027.
Amaaz, 21, from Rochdale, punched PC Lydia Ward so hard it broke her nose at Manchester Airport, then rained blows on PC Ellie Cook. In January 2025 he was given unconditional bail and stayed out for seventeen months until a jury convicted him.
Daniel Thomas, 37 (Danny Tommo) has been held since 29 September. He's accused of damaging a boat and of refusing to give police the PIN to his phone. No trial until March 2027.
One man's violence earned him a freedom pass. The other man's politics earned him a cell.
I wonder why. 🤔
Two-tier justice. Two-tier Britain. 🇬🇧
“And amongst the men lay the horses.”
A few words that ask us to remember those whose hoofbeats disappeared into the noise of war.
Before the harness and the gunfire, they were horses in fields, working on farms, pulling carts through familiar streets. Then came journeys they could not understand, strange hands on their reins and days that demanded more than their tired bodies could give.
They carried soldiers, pulled artillery and brought supplies through mud and wreckage. They needed food, water, rest and reassurance, even when war made those simple comforts difficult to find.
Some found kindness in the men who cared for them. A loosened girth. A patient voice. A hand resting on a trembling neck. Small acts of compassion in a place where both horse and soldier were frightened and far from home.
This wire horse, scattered with red poppies, gives shape to an absence. It asks us to picture the living animals behind the history: their warmth, their breath, their individual natures.
They could not know what victory meant. They could only know whether they were hurting, whether they were safe, and whether someone was there beside them.
When we pause to remember the fallen, let there be room in that silence for them too.
Peter Bleksley still wants youngsters to go and die for Zelensky. Only this week he's asking more politely.
Same answer as last week, Peter - Get Fucked!
