@darrengrimes Was on the side of the police from the out, armed police showed great restraint should have shot them.

I used the diary of this lady in Little Sense Of Urgency, the *most comprehensive Market Garden account* to date. Full of verifiable facts and maps, instead of stories. Please visit the website https://t.co/BLE401EdD2 and purchase my book. A retweet would help me very much!

@rgpoulussen What they achieved with their numbers is the stuff of true legends and heroes, their courage and fortitude and above sacrifice will never be forgotten. Lest We Forget ……

@RishiSunak Care for veterans thats a laugh or lie not sure which mind, you should hang your head in shame, veterans are treated appallingly across the board.
