@DrChrisParry Most flak over the target

@robert_lyman Hitler shit a brick when we declared war. He looked at his generals and exclaimed, “What now?”

[Steve Metcalf 🇮🇱 @CreativeBS]

@robert_lyman How on Earth could the world’s largest empire and navy be defeated by a country with no natural resources run by a man who was deluded? We had a massive setback with Dunkirk that that was not the end or even close to it. Hitchens grasp of history is very poor.

@SCEngineeringUK @DrChrisParry I see from your time line that you want to make a list of Jews to persecute. That kinda makes you an antisemite. I’d be very careful throwing accusations like that at a genuine 20th century warrior like Admiral Parry. He put himself in harms way for his country. You not so much.

@CeriTho25683386 Great stuff Ceri

@DrChrisParry @CrossofBexhill He tried the “It’s complex” defence which to those with a scintilla of intelligence indicates that he was bullshitting us.

@taketheredpil10 @ikeijeh @Glinner Shot through the door?
That’s all right then…
You utter prat.

[Steve Metcalf 🇮🇱 @CreativeBS]

@MyArrse Do you have evidence to back this claim?

[Steve Metcalf 🇮🇱 @CreativeBS]

@robert_lyman They can’t help themselves can they?

@April_1970s It was lovely to see. The local brass band had been practicing all afternoon too. Made our day.

@ifellonithonest After a monstrous plate of rigatoni al Amatriciana (made by me in our Amalfi appartamento) I indulged myself with Delizia al Limone Made by a local artisan.
Zero fucks given.

@almurray Thanks for the tip. I’ve always been fascinated by this event.

@NJ_Timothy Fuck me! First we had hug a hoody now it’s cuddle a rapist. I don’t care what colour these bastards are, if they commit rape they should get life. If a foreign national immediate deportation.

@AtticumFloreat I envy you reading it for the first time. In my opinion it’s James’s best work. Incredibly moving.

@Keir_Starmer Keep their names out of your mouth. You and your pal Hermer would try to prosecute them for being mean to the Germans. You’re not fit to polish their boots. Resign.

@siobhan1437154 @KemiBadenoch You’ve been treated appallingly after such a terrible, cruel loss. Rhiannon will not be forgotten and I truly hope you finally get some peace. Too many good people have suffered because of the lack of will to deal with the unfettered immigration that led to Rhiannon’s death.

The family memorial inscriptions on Commonwealth War Graves are always so profoundly moving.

Private Cyster: “He gave the dearest thing in the world, his beautiful unfinished life.”

Lt Brotheridge: “Out of the bitterness of war he found the perfect peace.”

Private Corteil: “Had you known our boy you would have loved him too, ‘Glen’ his paratroop dog was killed with him.” [note the dog toys left on the grave]

Private Harbert: “How can the memory fade of one who gave up his young life so unselfishly?”
