Good morning ladies and gentlemen.

Bravo 👏

At first glance, the photograph looks almost like a trick of the eye — tiny shapes scattered across a pale slope, like ants resting on a mound of earth. But when you look closer, the illusion fades, and the truth comes into focus. These are not insects. They are men.

They are British soldiers of the 137th (Staffordshire) Infantry Brigade, part of the 46th Division, captured in a quiet moment of exhaustion after the Battle of the St Quentin Canal on September 29, 1918, in Northern France. Victory had been won — but at a cost written across their bodies.

When you zoom in, the details become almost unbearable to see. Their uniforms hang loosely, as if draped over frames too thin to hold them. Their faces are hollow, their limbs sharp with fatigue and hunger. These are the faces of men who have endured years of mud, shellfire, sleepless nights, and the constant nearness of death. They look less like conquerors and more like survivors — survivors who have given everything they had.

And yet, in that moment, they are resting. Not marching. Not fighting. Not charging. Just sitting together on the scarred earth, breathing, alive.

What makes the image even more haunting is what we know now: the war would end only weeks later, on November 11, 1918. Peace was already approaching, though they could not yet see it. Looking at them, one can’t help but wonder — how many of these skeletal young men lived long enough to hear the guns fall silent? How many returned home, shed their uniforms, and tried to rebuild lives interrupted by war?

The photograph freezes them in that fragile space between battle and peace, between survival and uncertainty. It reminds us that victory is not always triumphant, and that history’s greatest moments are often carried on the shoulders of those who look the most worn.

For a brief instant on a battlefield hillside, they were simply men — tired, fragile, human — resting together under a sky that, at last, would soon fall quiet.

Channel 4 asked Conor Benn about St George’s flags being flown. It backfired on them; they clearly wasn’t expecting the answer they got.

Many years ago, when I first started work as a diver, I started a job on what I thought was a refinery in the Middle East,
Ras Al Kahir was the name.
Just cleaning the sea inlet and outlet valves, drains, intakes etc. a good job for good money.

Now when I got there I found that Ras Al Kahir wasn’t an oil refinery,
On no, it was something special.
Basically it was a reverse osmosis plant, pulling water from the Gulf, and turning it into crystal clear drinking water,
enough water to make sure Saudi, a notoriously dry arid area, never had water problems.

Now we already have hosepipe bans kicking in here, year after year.
Can u imaging if we had the foresight to take the £22bn we are pissing up the wall on climate change,
and build desalination plants to feed our reservoirs instead?

Na, that’s kinda too logical isn’t it.

"To fund his golfing ambitions, McIlroy's parents took on extra jobs. Gerry worked 100 hours a week; he cleaned toilets and showers at a local sports club in the mornings, served as a bartender at Holywood Golf Club from 12 to 6 pm, then returned to the sports club to work behind the bar in the evenings. Rosie looked after Rory during the day, and worked night shifts packaging rolls of tape at a 3M factory in Bangor, County Down. Due to their conflicting schedules, McIlroy's parents rarely saw each other during this period. Gerry later said: "I had no idea what else to do. I’m a working-class man. We wanted to give our only child a chance."

After finding success as a professional golfer, McIlroy bought his parents a house in 2009, and stated: "I’ll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they’ll never have to work another day. I’ll do whatever it takes to look after them."
