The Black Watch.
Raised to patrol the Highlands in the 1720s, they went on to become one of the most famous fighting regiments in British military history. From the Highlands of Scotland to the trenches of the First World War, from Normandy to Northern Ireland, Black Watch soldiers earned a reputation for courage, discipline and stubborn determination under fire.
During the Troubles, men of the Black Watch served in Northern Ireland against IRA terrorism. Not all of them were Scottish. Like many British Army regiments, their ranks included men from across the United Kingdom, including England.
German troops in the First World War gave them a nickname that became legendary: "The Ladies from Hell." It was not meant as an insult. It was a mark of respect from an enemy who had seen them attack through shellfire and machine-gun fire wearing kilts and carrying themselves with fierce determination.
More than three centuries after their formation, the name Black Watch remains one of the most respected in British military history.

The Daily Mirror is an enemy of the people.
A Brit is nearly beheaded by an illegal migrant on the streets of Belfast.
UK cities are literally on fire as a result.
This "newspaper" decides the biggest story of the day is a Somali ref being refused entry to US.
THE MSM MUST DIE.
Wisbech, Cambridgeshire UK
A PENSIONER who is hard of HEARING was approached by police after requesting someone to 'speak clearly.' The POLICE warned that his words could be interpreted as HATE speech…
You couldn’t make this 💩 up
Be prepared for Keir Starmer and most of Parliament being more concerned about how you react to the scenes in Belfast than the fact that an attempted beheading happened in a civilised, first world country.
Does the Northern Ireland Secretary really not think that attempting to behead someone in the street is alien to our culture?
Why do they insist on not seeing what is plain as day to the rest of us?
The Irish happily check vehicles and people going south when they want to.
Yet apparently we can't police our border with Ireland. Instead we let people wander across it & give them asylum.
We must be out of our minds.
The back door into the UK via Ireland needs closing.
Nobody can explain how mass migration from the third world has benefited the west. Even the advocates of these policies cannot explain its benefits. That's because there is no benefit and they know it. Death, dysfunction, and horrors beyond comprehension. That's all it brings us
Today, we woke to the sickening scenes of a Sudanese man attempting to behead another man on the streets of Belfast.
In the aftermath, we’ve seen the all-too-familiar damage-control operation from the authorities.
People are being urged not to share the footage or comment on the incident because it may cause division, distress the family, or fuel the “far right”.
In a democratic society, people have the right to share footage of events that take place in public and to discuss why such horrific acts keep happening in our country.
Hear from FSU Case Management Director @BenBarryJones 👇
Jim Allister: "What will be done to stop the importation of an alien culture that thinks it's appropriate to try and behead someone?"
Hilary Benn: "I'm sorry the honourable gentleman used the term 'alien culture', because what exactly is he referring to?"
🚨I have on good authority that the victim of last nights knife attack in Belfast originated from 🏴Scotland and is described as a "vulnerable" adult with hearing difficulties.
He appears to have been trying to help his Sudanese attacker who had moved to the area days previously and shared a flat with a fellow Sudanese person
I was a radio presenter and live on air in May 2023 when I had to break the news that Lee Rigby had been brutally murdered by this man and his accomplice in Woolwich. They used this machete to try to behead Rigby.
13 long years later, no lessons have been learned by the authorities. None at all.
.@Keir_Starmer, your statement says you have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.
With respect, tolerance is not the issue. Nobody tolerates a near beheading on a residential street in Belfast. The question your statement carefully avoids is prevention. And prevention requires honesty about a pattern your government has consistently refused to name.
A man in his thirties, a Somali national, pinned a man to the ground on a residential street and stabbed him repeatedly in the face and neck. Members of the public intervened with a hurling stick. A woman required hospital treatment for the stress of witnessing it. This happened in Northern Ireland, a place that has known more than its share of violence, and even there residents said they had never seen anything like it.
Your government has presided over record small boat crossings. It has failed to proscribe the IRGC despite repeated promises. It has blocked the grooming gang inquiry for a year before being forced to concede it. It has spent £10 billion on asylum accommodation contracts. It has actively resisted measures that would have reduced the number of unvetted individuals entering and remaining in this country.
The victims of these attacks are not statistics. They are British people, going about their lives on their own streets, who were failed before the attack happened. Failed at the border. Failed by a system that prioritises the rights of those who arrive illegally over the safety of those who were already here.
Your thoughts are with the victim. So are ours. The difference is that thoughts are not policy. Thoughts do not secure borders. Thoughts do not remove individuals with no right to be here. Thoughts do not protect the next victim, whose name we do not yet know, on a street we cannot yet identify, from an attack that has not yet happened.
How many more before the thoughts become action?
Pupils should be taught about geology, history & to read weather maps so they can think for themselves, instead of regurgitating climate propaganda.
The CET (Central England surface air Temperature) series is the longest existing meteorological record. Thermometer measurements made from 1659 to now.
There is NO indication of ANY warming effect from industrialisation in the record. ZERO, ZIP, NADA.
Isn't this you happily shaking hands with the Syrian President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who led an Al-Qaeda linked terror group which carried out multiple beheadings? Just checking on your tolerance levels for this sort of stuff @Keir_Starmer
