It’s coming up to that time of year again when my bête noire - inflatable Shermans - start to appearing in #miltwitter timelines.

If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.

And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

One of the reasons the Spectator was so intent in denigrating Carole Cadwalladr’s Cambridge Analytica stories is that its owners at the time, the Barclay Brothers, we invited to a briefing with CA and Arron Banks in 2015 in how they were going to work on the EU Referendum

@antmiddleton @UKLabour By British values do you mean:
1) Assaulting the police
2) Being banned from being a company director
3) Owing HMRC £1 million
4) Fucking off to Dubai?

Watched Brexit programme on BBC today. What would Farage, Johnson and Gove say now. We are in a total mess. Small biz can't do biz easy with EU .The biggest disaster I have experienced in my life time. Sunderland tipped the scales. Nissan only went to Sunderland so they could sell cars to the EU at low prices.

Factually incorrect. Numerous French Resistance women enabled D-Day, and reporters such as Martha Gelhorn were present. The landings continued for all of June, July & August, which saw numerous female staff landing in Normandy.

@ReassessHistory @DennisAbbott Colonel Turner’s department, which ran the Q sites (Starfish etc.) also had a role to play, but again - no inflatable tanks (see “Fields of Deception: Britain's Bombing Decoys of World War II” by Colin Dobinson).

[Frog Prince @FrogPrince1966]

@ReassessHistory @DennisAbbott Parts of ‘R’ Force definitely contributed to Fortitude South, just not with small decoys. Strangeways knew that the Luftwaffe would struggle to detect them, whilst the the LCTs were a better “sell” (observable).

[Frog Prince @FrogPrince1966]

@ReassessHistory @DennisAbbott There is a typo in that ORBAT. Should say 556 Fd Coy.

@ReassessHistory @DennisAbbott Sadly, I can’t remember exactly how I got this image. I will have a head scratch.

[Frog Prince @FrogPrince1966]

@ReassessHistory @DennisAbbott No inflatable tanks…

@JuliaHB1 @DagenhamMKIII @Keir_Starmer Only a few days after the initial landings these Queen Alexandra Royal Navy Nursing Service Nurses were landed and operating a field hospital. Many women were already ashore providing intelligence as the Allies landed. ⚓️👍
