I must have missed it. Did Leo spill the Goss on Thursday?

@TheConsultant18 I hope it's not filling up.

🔴 Wellington NZ 🇳🇿 - Guess who is in town ?. The U.S 🇺🇸 Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star (WAGB-10) is back in Wellington. This is an impressive 50 year old ice breaker that is fitted with an aviation grade gas tubine giving 75,000 worth of horse power to break up 21 feet of ice. Accommodates a crew of between 157.

THIS is a MUST read. This has to be some of Bryce's best work and has opened a very real can of worms. Thanks also to the revalations of Jonathan Milne and Andrea Vance.

@Coltheman1 Unbelievable. Once their snout is in the trough they can't get it out.

@Soul_of_a_Sage Scandalous. These pricks really know how to rort the system.

Oh, so it does get worse, this is atrocious. If theres no investigation I hope the ratepayers go absolutely nuts. This is appalling.

@dick_numbers Easter bunnies in the window 🤧

Not gonna believe it tell I get told fuel updates each day at the Podium of Truth. Then I want jokes about the Easter bunny still getting thru and told to be kind.

29% of all accidents are caused by speeding. That means 71% are caused by driving the speed limit. Statistically it's safer to speed...

In 2023, Antarctic sea ice hit a record low. Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey were quick to blame climate change, saying human CO2 emissions made such an event "four times more likely." But then reality intervened. Through 2025 and into 2026, Antarctic sea ice surged back, returning to levels similar to 1980 - a dramatic rebound the models did not predict. This is the problem with climate attribution theatre. When ice declines - it's climate change. When it rebounds - it's ignored. And a complicit media never updates the public.

@DonaldWShimoda @JonnoL32552677 @nzlabour Gets a lot of oxygen on the Ryan Bridge morning show.

@JonnoL32552677 @nzlabour 💯🎯 The spoilt-brat, entitled voice of the cohort of state-dependents that the Marxists cultivate; “give us more, or we’ll take it anyway. & it’s your fault! “ 🙄🤮

That’s nice, then ! @nzlabour supporter justifies criminality, when petrol prices rise. FFS🤷‍♂️🙄

On this day in 1995, the last clan chief in history known to have led his men into battle died at the age of 83. Simon Fraser, the 15th Lord Lovat, was the Chief of Clan Fraser. He was the man Winston Churchill described, in a letter to Joseph Stalin, as “the mildest-mannered man that ever scuttled ship or cut a throat.” The Scottish Commando chief whom Hitler placed a 100,000 Reichsmark bounty on, dead or alive. He was a well respected man that already had a serious war record before D-Day. The night before D-Day, Lovat addressed his men. He closed with this: “A hundred years from now, your children’s children will say - they must have been giants in those days.” Then came June 6th, 1944. Sword Beach, Normandy. As Brigadier of the 1st Special Service Brigade, Lord Lovat waded ashore leading 3,000 commandos into hell. And behind him came the sound that made the whole scene unforgettable. The English War Office had strictly banned bagpipes in battle. They said it was too conspicuous. Too dangerous. Lovat brought his personal piper, Bill Millin, and gave the order: “Play us ashore.” When Millin hesitated, citing the regulations, Lovat smiled and replied: “Ah, but that’s the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn’t apply.” So Millin played Highland Laddie, The Road to the Isles, and All The Blue Bonnets Are Over the Border. Men fell around them. Bullets tore through the surf. The noise of artillery was deafening. And through it all, the unmistakable scream of the bagpipes. Captured German snipers later admitted they had Millin in their sights, but didn’t shoot him because they assumed he had gone completely mad. Lovat’s mission was to reach Pegasus Bridge, where British glider troops were desperately holding on. The schedule said 1pm. Lovat and his men fought their way off the beach and arrived at exactly 1:02 PM. He calmly walked up to the commanding officer under enemy fire and apologised for being two and a half minutes late. His commandos then marched across the bridge in the open. Lovat had ordered his men to wear their green berets instead of steel helmets, so the Germans would know exactly who was coming for them. Twelve men were shot through their berets that day. After that, they finally put their helmets on. But they held the bridge. For Clan Fraser, there was something almost mythic about it. Their ancestors had come from Normandy centuries earlier. Now their chief had led Highland soldiers back onto those same shores in one of the most decisive battles in modern history. Six days later, Lovat was given his last rites after being hit by friendly fire from a stray artillery shell. Against all odds, he survived. He returned home a hero. He went on to serve in Parliament, judge cattle internationally, and manage his massive 250,000-acre Highland estate. But his final years were marked by grief. Two of his sons died within weeks of each other in 1994. Beaufort Castle, his ancestral home, had to be sold that same year. When Lord Lovat died on 16 March 1995, an era died with him. Bill Millin later played at his funeral, bringing the story full circle. The last clan chief who went to war. The brigadier who brought bagpipes onto D-Day. The Highlander with a price on his head. Scotland does not produce many men like that ⚔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
