“The 9,000 who never made it home”

In 2013, British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss created a striking temporary artwork on the beach at Arromanches, Normandy. Known as The Fallen 9000, the project involved volunteers using stencils and rakes to etch thousands of human silhouettes into the sand, each representing a life lost during the D-Day landings of June 6, 1944.

The silhouettes commemorated Allied troops, German soldiers, and civilians who died during one of the most pivotal days of World War II. What began as a small volunteer effort quickly expanded as hundreds of local residents joined in to help complete the installation.

Its most powerful feature was its impermanence.

Within hours, the incoming tide slowly washed the figures away. That was exactly the intention. The artwork served as a reminder of how individual lives can fade from memory, even when the events they shaped alter the course of history.

On D-Day, more than 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, launching the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation. The operation breached Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and helped pave the way toward the end of World War II in Europe.

Created for International Peace Day in 2013, The Fallen 9000 was designed to highlight the human cost of war rather than the military scale of the invasion. According to History Hit and Colossal, the installation honored all those killed during the landings—civilians, German forces, and Allied servicemen alike.

This Mandelson vetting story isn't just about the Prime Minister's judgement or honesty. This is about a HUGE national security breach.

The UK ambassador to the US undergoes high level vetting because he/she has access to our most vital defence, security and economic state secrets.

These state secrets were handed to Mandelson, a man who was a proven liar with dodgy foreign billionaire friends who is now under police investigation over claims he leaked confidential govt information to one of those friends.

Keir Starmer put our national security at risk. That's not just a resigning matter, it should be a criminal matter.

Isn't the Green party supposed to be about ecology and climate change ?

Or is the word 'green' being used in its other sense of
'inexperienced', 'naive', 'untested' and 'not to be relied on ' ?

[Luke Johnson @LukeJohnsonRCP]

Virtually no Labour MPs come from industry or business, and almost certainly have no idea how wealth is generated. No wonder the economy is tanking.

[Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman]

According to Labour, our Union Jack is a ‘tool of hate’.

We deserve leaders who love this country and aren’t ashamed to say it.

It is more than just a flag, it is a symbol of pride and honour to millions at home and around the world.

Fly it from every school!

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Question: why are the officials manning the polling stations in Gorton and Denton allowing TWO people to enter the same polling booth when doing that is a criminal offence?

[Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman]

Absolutely disgraceful. Two-tier justice in plain sight.

One rule for the establishment and another for everybody else.

This cannot be allowed to stand.

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

You stupid woman.

Resign.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

So this is where we are this morning. Keir Starmer's position literally is:

a) Matthew Collins was asked to provide additional evidence on the China threat by the CPS.
b) Collins failed to discuss this with either his boss, or Ministers.
c) Collins unilaterally cut and pasted the Government's position from the Labour manifesto. Again, without any discussion with his boss or Ministers.
d) The CPS informed him they remained 5% short of the evidential threshold, and needed new evidence.
e) Collins took the decision not to provide that additional evidence, collapsing one of the most important espionage cases since the end of the Cold-War. And again, he did so without any consultation with his boss or Ministers.
f) Keir Starmer was told of the impending collapse of the case two days before it was announced by the CPS. He didn't ask why it had collapsed. He didn't ask if anything could be done to stop its collapse. He didn't even ask to see the witness statements that had precipitated that collapse.

As I wrote this morning, this whole story is quite clearly a bare faced lie. It's so manifestly untrue I'm genuinely amazed Keir Starmer is daring to even try and peddle it.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Great news.

I look forward to working with James in Parliament to deliver for our constituents, and the wider country.

There is much to do.

***Mayor of London press release***

I would firstly like to clear up a few rumours so you the British public are clear on my thoughts and my intentions moving forwards. You certainly deserve it.
I can confirm that I haven’t been dropped nor have I fallen out with @reformparty_uk and that I’ve been a big supporter of @Nigel_Farage and that hasn’t changed.

I can confirm that I will be running for Mayor of London and that I will be doing it independently (as it stands).

My reasoning behind this is purely personal and on this very occasion I have decided to go with my gut feeling/instinct. A feeling/instinct that kept me alive during my Military career and has served me extremely well outside off it and up to now.

I’m a man of the people who was and is still willing to sacrifice all to serve and protect, it’s simply in my blood.

If I know the people well enough and my gut continues to serve me well then it very much tells me that the current political landscape is too unclear, corrupt and fragmented at the moment and that you the people are sick to death of it as it does not whatsoever serve in the best interests of our great native people, British citizens nor our beloved country.

I want to directly represent the people of our capital city and nation by demonstrating that I won’t be politically suede or influenced and that my priorities and loyalties lie with you the people.

Drastic change is needed and our people need to be heard and prioritised. I want to serve and represent you with my British values, patriotism, my experience, expertise and knowledge in safety and security and in reestablishing British culture and or very own identity, BRITISH IDENTITY!

When it comes to leadership, work ethic, business acumen, teamwork, unity, trust, change, safety and security, British pride, values and principles then you need look no further!

I want to be your Mayor of London!

Time for drastic change is needed however time is running out!
I hope I have your support and backing.

Ant Middleton. 🫡🇬🇧

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

If it’s true and @JDVance is planning to holiday in the Cotswolds, then I hope he knows that he and his family are incredibly welcome.

Please ignore the pro-Palestine lunatics who glue themselves to the concrete.

These freaks do not represent Britain.

You’re all very welcome.

[Pax Britannia @BritanniaRising]

@RupertLowe10 @JDVance The Anglosphere birthed modern freedom:
Speech, conscience, borders, enterprise.

Britain and the US must stop apologising for their greatness and start defending it! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

This is madness. There is no other country in the world where children are taught to be ashamed or embarrassed about their own culture. This has got to stop. ⬇️

[John Bulkeley @bulkeley_john]

https://t.co/bdAbYrkh6v We don't need more words, we need a lot more action. What exactly is the UK giving money to France for if these are the lousy results we get? Take the illegal aliens and deport them all back to France. It's high time France stops this and doesn't always make these people the UK's problem.

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

There are 78 illegal migrants on board this boat in the English Channel.

Only 4 of them are women and children.

Are you watching @DarrenPJones?

[Ralph Now @ralph_now]

@JuliaHB1 @MontgomeryToms @TalkTV Are there any police in the @metpoliceuk that don't wear stick on beards ?

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

This is a direct attack on freedom of speech. @MontgomeryToms will be on my @TalkTV show tomorrow to discuss this ⬇️
