#NeverAgain #BringThemHome

[Damien Lewis @authordlewis]

Shocking neglect and abuse of retired Lt Col Stephen Maguire DCM SAS, a natural born leader of men who spent 40 years in service to his country, and his son's long fight for justice. Please share Ben's post widely: "My father, Retired Lt Col Stephen Maguire DCM SAS, is a man who spent nearly 40 years in dedicated service to this country, serving from 1970 until 2009. He is a natural leader, a decorated soldier, to those who served with him. However, he has been completely abandoned and betrayed by the very system he gave everything to.
I am fighting for justice for my father. This struggle is a mirror of my own life; my own journey marked by the negligence of MPs, charities, and veteran services which led me to the absolute rock bottom of homelessness as a veteran myself. I know exactly what it is like to be discarded by the people who promised to provide support.
After years of fighting, we finally have a pathway toward the right care, but the damage is already done. The sheer scale of the failings along the way has crippled a man who likely only suffered from PTSD. What should have been a manageable recovery became a total collapse because of institutional incompetence.
This isn't a failure of one person or one office it is a systemic rot. For too long, the UK government, regardless of which side of the fence they sit on, has played a political game with the lives of our veterans. Whether it is Labour or the Conservatives, the result is the same: service men are treated as assets when they are useful and as liabilities the moment they are broken. We are told our sacrifices are "remembered," but the reality is that once the uniform comes off, the care vanishes.
We sought help for my dad, worried about PTSD and dementia resulting from his service. Through the SAS Association and Veterans’ Aid, he was referred to various healthcare facilities. Instead of professional care, he found negligence from these referrals.
In the last few years alone, he has been through multiple institutions that have failed him. We've dealt with incorrect diagnoses, doctors who tried to push him out of their care because he was "too difficult," and the removal of life-saving medication that led to him being sectioned under the Mental Health Act. He was sedated and left to decline without specialist care. His PTSD was completely ignored, and his medical history was dismissed. In one instance, he was admitted to the hospital due to low sodium caused by the excessive use of anti-psychotic medication.
The most infuriating part is the silence from the top. MPs have explicitly ignored this situation and failed to act for a Lt Col in 22 SAS. The "Military Covenant" is nothing more than a piece of paper used for photo opportunities while men like my father are left to rot.
The system has failed. The NHS has failed. Veteran charities have failed. From the MOD passing the buck to the medical incompetence of the facilities, my father has been abandoned like thousands of others.
I am posting this because we need accountability. It is not enough to simply "help" now; there must be justice for the way he was treated. My father spent four decades looking after his men and serving at the highest level for the United Kingdom; it is a national disgrace that the government failed to look after him and many like him.
Do not listen to the rhetoric the government continues to push. As this is an example of what happens after 40 years of dedicated service.
Please share this. We need the people in power to answer for this. We need leaders who actually lead, not politicians who just talk."

Disgusting...

HORRIFIC: What happened in Paris yesterday was horrific. A man is dead. Others are fighting for their lives. A 12-year-old girl was shot eight times.
And before the blood was even dry, Macron was on camera declaring it a “racist terrorist attack.” Declaring that victims were selected for the colour of their skin and their religion.
He called it a “turning point.”
Then he said this:
“It is the first time we have had a terrorist act that was planned to kill our compatriots, our children, based on the colour of their skin or their religion.”
The FIRST time.
Let that sink in.
The first time?
That single sentence should make every French citizen furious.
So Toulouse wasn’t a turning point? When Mohamed Merah walked into a Jewish school and executed a rabbi and three small children point-blank, one of them just three years old?
Charlie Hebdo wasn’t a turning point? When Islamists massacred journalists for drawing cartoons?
Hyper Cacher wasn’t a turning point? When four Jews were murdered simply for being Jews while shopping for Shabbat?
The Bataclan wasn’t a turning point? When 90 young people were slaughtered like animals inside a concert hall?
Nice wasn’t a turning point? When a truck was driven through families and 86 people were crushed to death, children included?
Father Jacques Hamel wasn’t a turning point? When his throat was slit at the altar of his own church?
Samuel Paty wasn’t a turning point? When a teacher was beheaded in the street for showing his class free speech?
Dominique Bernard wasn’t a turning point?
How many corpses did France have to bury before it counted? How many Jewish children, journalists, shoppers, concertgoers, priests and teachers had to die?
And let’s be clear about something else: the investigation into yesterday’s horror is still establishing motive. The facts are still being gathered.
Yet Macron already has the narrative, the motive, the moral, and the political lesson ready to go.
If the evidence proves racist intent, then condemn it to the fullest extent of the law. Call it what it is. No one will defend it.
But do not rewrite French history to do it.
Do not insult the memory of the dead to serve today’s narrative.
France changed long ago. The French people know it because they lived it. They bled through it.
They remember the little girl in Toulouse. They remember the editors slumped over their desks. They remember the hostages in the kosher store. They remember the bodies on the floor of the Bataclan. They remember the strollers shattered on the promenade in Nice. They remember the priest. They remember the teacher.
You can try to push those atrocities into the background because they are inconvenient to your politics.
But you cannot make a nation forget what it saw with its own eyes.
Politicians can rewrite the narrative.
They will never rewrite people’s memories.
And they will never make France forget its dead
