Tonight 13/14 June, it will be exactly 42 years since the 2nd Battalion Scots Guards fought bravely through the night to take Tumbledown mountain in the final battle of the Falklands war.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM 🫡🇬🇧
14th June marks 44 years since Argentinian forces surrendered in The Falklands War, returning the islands back to British control.
Remembering the 255 British servicemen, 3 Falkland islanders who lost their lives, and the many wounded too.
Lest we forget these brave people 🇬🇧
14th June, 2010
Marine Steven Birdsall, aged 20 from Warrington, of 40 Commando Royal Marines, died at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, from a gunshot wound received the previous day whilst on patrol in Sangin, Helmand Province
Lest we forget this brave young man 🏴 🇬🇧
What’s living in the UK like? I’ll tell you. In the last week alone we have had to process:
-an attempted beheading by an illegal migrant from Sudan in Belfast
-while still trying to make sense of a boy, Henry Nowak, being stabbed to death while police were more anxious about allegations of “racism” than trying to save his life
-then we learn children in Scotland were assaulted by Bulgarians while the police didn’t believe them either
-while reading that a vulnerable 18-year-old was r*ped by an asylum-seeker from Pakistan
-while an asylum-seeker from Iraq got only 6 years for r*pe
-while an Iraqi national, was found guilty of eight counts of r*pe and grooming children as young as 12
-and his friend from Iran who arrived illegally skipped bail and is on the run
-and now we learn that a teenage girl has been stabbed in the neck by no doubt “a local man” in Burnley.
That’s one week in the UK. Oh, and the Left say talking about all this is “divisive”, they blame social media and Elon Musk, and local councils have told us not to fly our national flag because it might “intimidate” migrants. One week. The UK. 🤡
Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
