At 46, with no training I took on a 50km ultra marathon through the mountains of southern Albania for Ultra for Charity. What an experience @jason_carl_fox@BrianWoodMC
22 years ago today The Battle of Danny Boy.
What began as an ambush in Iraq became over 3 hours of brutal fighting ending in hand-to-hand combat.
To the men beside me that day — your courage and determination will stay with me forever.
Hermer & Shiner couldn’t lace are boots!
Thankyou @NJ_Timothy you have described him and the issue accurately.

@BrianWoodMC Brian, I am one of many passengers who attended your talks on Queen Victoria a few years back. Your description of Danny Boy events was harrowing & the Q&A session left us astounded about your later treatment. We gave you a standing ovation in support & I'd do it again any day!🇬🇧
🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
Furious military veterans have tonight demanded Lord Hermer resigns over his "insulting" comments about British troops hounded through the courts over sham war crime allegations.
An email obtained by The Telegraph revealed that the Attorney General had told a human rights lawyer they had done more good for society than the decorated soldiers they had falsely accused of murder and torture.
The comments have provoked outrage among retired commanders and former senior members of the Special Air Service (SAS), who demanded Lord Hermer’s “immediate resignation”, while others say Sir Keir Starmer has no option but to sack him.
Lt Col Richard Williams, a former head of 22 SAS, told The Telegraph: “Hermer demonstrates, by this message of cynical disrespect and misplaced personal superiority, that the country’s wars are nothing more than an opportunity to persecute gleefully those that fight, sacrifice and die to protect it.
“I can only assume that he looks at the brave defenders of Ukraine in the same way, and that war is nothing more than another legal business opportunity. With disloyalty of this, there can be only one cure – his immediate, unconditional resignation.”
While George Simm, who served as a regimental sergeant major of 22 SAS, called Lord Hermer a “village idiot” and said the Attorney General’s behaviour was “not acceptable”.
Mr Simm, who was twice decorated for bravery and was a linchpin in the special forces, told The Telegraph: “If he had any moral backbone, if he had a principle in his body, he would resign.”

This is my hearing bundle from the Al Sweady inquiry. It brought an end to my military career after 17 years of exemplary service. The stress, pain, and heartache were overwhelming—driven in large part by Shiner & Hermer.

I’ve referred Lord Hermer to the Bar Standards Board.
He went after British soldiers despite warnings murder allegations were false.
He knew what he was doing: he sought "wriggle room if the killings did not happen."
It says everything that Starmer made him Attorney General.
Only a few understand what it takes to fight your way out of an ambush and finish the job in the trenches. That reality isn’t theoretical—it’s lived. Which is why watching the narrative get twisted from a distance feels not just wrong, but absurd.
"Making sure the big story is out there whilst giving us some wriggle room if the killings did not in fact happen".
That's Lord Hermer, the Attorney-General, talking about innocent British veterans that was helping to prosecute.
This man is Starmer's most senior legal adviser.
