Today pause and remember the 22 brave Royal Navy sailors still on patrol in San Carlos water. Lost 44 years ago during Op Corporate to reclaim @falklands_gov and never forget those that survived and live with the memories every day #HMSARDENT #OpCorporate #Falklands

I hope the @CPSUK go for a 2nd Retrial as how the hell he ain’t inside along with his brother is absolutely beyond me; suited & booted today & on the night in question he was without the suit but not the 🥾 & fist; if he walks we may just as well put our CJS in the bin👇🤷♂️🙄

Not my Daily Diary
Thursday, May 21st, 2026
RIP Iain and Matthew
Today marks the 44th anniversary of the day my youngest brother, Iain Boldy, who was killed in action during the Falklands War. On 21 May 1982, Iain and his shipmate Matthew Stuart lost their lives aboard HMS Argonaut. Forty-four years feels both like a lifetime and the blink of an eye. The pain never really goes, not a day goes by that Iain isn’t in my thoughts, and today we hold Matthew close in our hearts too. Two young men, gone far too soon, side by side as they were then, and remembered together always.
This morning, Chris and I travelled with my brother-in-law Andrew and Jacky, Chris's sister, to the National Arboretum at Alrewas in Staffordshire. Together, Chris and I laid a wreath in honour of Iain and Matthew. Standing there, at the memorial, it felt like the right place to be, somewhere that we have space for our grief in the absenceof a gravestone, but also for immense pride in what they gave, and who they were. There is a gentle, quiet peace at the Arboretum, a place where no one is forgotten, and every life matters.
Forty-four years on, Iain is still my little brother, and Matthew is still the shipmate who died beside him. They are not just names carved into the stone wall at the Armed Forces Memorial or dates in history books. They are loved, missed, and honoured every single day.
Iain was only twenty when he died. He had his whole life ahead of him, and Matthew died on his 18th birthday. Often, I wonder what sort of men they would have become, what paths they might have taken, and whether they would have had children and grandchildren of their own by now. Those thoughts still cross my mind after all these years.
Today was about honouring their memory and ensuring that neither Iain nor Matthew nor any of the others wounded on the Argonaut in that conflict are forgotten. We will keep remembering. We will keep going to the memorial. The family bond does not break, even after forty-four years.
As we made our way home this afternoon, through the country lanes, we carried their memory with us, as we always will.
Rest in peace, Iain and Matthew, you will never be forgotten
Keith and Chris xx

When this first happened, Yvette Cooper seemed more interested in criticising the police and siding with the attackers than standing up for brave officers who get injured in the line of duty. This is just another example of Labour’s two-tier approach to law and order.
The CPS must pursue a retrial and see this through. Police officers who are assaulted in the line of duty are owed the full weight of the justice system.

I’m lost for words. What on earth has happened to our once proud nation. This reflects a very dark road ahead. Law and order was always our bedrock in the UK and of our society. Then this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… .@ShabanaMahmood .@ukhomeoffice .@CPSUK .@PoliceChiefs
