CLOSING THE GATES: "THE BRAVEST MAN IN THE BRITISH ARMY"
General Sir James Macdonnell of the Coldstream Guards - who died on this day 15 May 1857 - was the son of 14th Clan Chief of Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry. Sir James was commander of the British infantry defending the Hougoumont farmhouse at the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815.
He is famous for leading the closing of the gates, with Sergeant James Graham; an action which has been immortalised in Robert Gibb's 1903 painting.
The Duke of Wellington awarded him £1,000 for his part in the battle calling him "the bravest man in the British Army". Sir James insisted on splitting this money with Sergeant Graham.
The painting by Gibb is called "Closing the Gates at Hougoumont".
Here we see men of the Coldstream Guards and the Scots Guards forcing shut the gates of the chateau against French attack.
According to the National Museums Scotland:
"The moment of crisis shown in the painting came when around 30 French soldiers forced the north gate and entered into the chateau grounds. Before others could follow, the gates were forced shut again, and the French soldiers still inside were killed…Prominent in the painting, forcing back the gate to the left, is Lieutenant-Colonel James MacDonell of Glengarry, the Coldstream Guards officer who was in overall command of the defence of Hougoumont."
According to britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyuni…
"It was a feat of great strength and courage by the following members of the Coldstream Guards: Lt-Col James Macdonnell, Captain Henry Wyndham, Ensign James Hervey, Ensign Henry Gooch, Sergeant James Graham, Corporal Graham (his brother) plus four NCOs of the Scots Guards."
Macdonnell was born in 1781, and died in London.
"Closing the Gates" whether at Waterloo or Londonderry is a recurring British theme, albeit NOT one respected by today's open border politicians!

One of the laziest arguments against Restore Britain is that we’re ‘splitting the vote’.
I entirely disagree. Voters are not the property of Farage or Reform.
Votes are earned. Not owned.
If people are leaving Reform and backing Restore Britain instead, that is not because we stole them.
It is because Reform failed to keep them.
That is politics.
And frankly, the argument itself reveals a deeply arrogant mindset...
The belief that millions of patriotic British people should simply fall into line blindly behind one party regardless of performance, principles or behaviour.
It treats men and women like children. It’s patronising, and the British people deserve better.
We’re all big enough and ugly enough to make our own minds up. And actually, in such a volatile electoral system - anything can happen. As we saw in Norfolk. When people voted for real change, they got it.
In Great Yarmouth, when it was apparent that we were going to win, I don’t remember Reform standing down any candidates. In fact, they threw more and more at the campaign in order to beat us - drafting in councillors from across the country.
The Tories accused Reform of splitting the vote at the last general, and they were rightly ignored. Look at how that has turned out. We now intend to do exactly the same, and more.
Restore Britain exists because huge numbers of people now believe Britain requires something more serious, more disciplined, more radical and more honest than what currently exists.
If Reform want those voters back, they are welcome to persuade them.
In the meantime, we are going to continue making our positive case.
If Brits don’t agree, they won’t vote for us. That’s fine. I don’t mind. But millions do, and millions will.
Great Yarmouth proved the model - we battered Reform.
If enough people vote for real change, they get it.

One of the first decisions made by Essex Reform was to remove the Ukrainian flag from County Council HQ.
Let that sink in.

Shocking that @Keir_Starmer is labelling all who attend this rally as far right dangerous citizens. Just shows how little he understands the anger and the patriotism of the average ordinary member of the British public
Paul Embery@PaulEmbery
Trevor Phillips attended the previous 'Unite the Kingdom' rally. Keir Starmer ought to have watched this video before releasing his own.

It’s as though Keir Starmer is on a suicide mission as Prime Minister at this point. How did this divisive and dishonest tactic work after Southport? He has done nothing to stop the small boats, nothing to ban Iran’s terror fronts in the UK and now makes his stand on this?
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division. We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views. They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.

Last years UTK event got a bit spicy after police strangely paused antifa at the top of Whitehall to be surrounded by British rally supporters
Then they brought in horses, riot gear, batons and dogs….
Almost like it was intended
Don’t fall for it

It’s mental what’s happening in Westminster tomorrow for the Tommy Unite the Kingdom rally: facial recognition cameras scanning the crowd, pubs told to shut or restrict alcohol, speakers banned from entering the country, and they’re pulling in nearly three times the usual number of police ready to kettle everyone. Crime must be fair game everywhere else while they throw all this at one protest.
But Palestine marches or BLM? They just let them get on with it, no Stasi cameras, no mass bans, no big lectures about agitators. Police bending the knee.
This Labour government is targeting British patriots who want to talk about borders, grooming gangs and free speech, while everyone else gets a free pass. Pure two-tier policing.
And then they’ll come out afterwards claiming there’s no two-tier policing and everyone’s treated the same… when anyone with eyes can see it’s complete bollocks. All this does is push more normal people away from the government and their agenda.
Stand strong if you’re there, keep it peaceful, no trouble, don’t give them what they want.
Britain is waking up. 🇬🇧
Rant over.
