Nick Hewitt ⚓️🇺🇦🇹🇼

I’m coming off X, I may not come back - it’ll be worse after 20/1/25. I’m doom scrolling to the point of obsession & finding a lot of unpleasant people. I try not to exist in an echo chamber but it’s making me ill. Can find me on the other place.

@Tunisia_1943 @TankMuseum @1stArmoredDiv Turret only or entire tank?

Recently found, looking at the model and location (close to where @TankMuseum TIGER 131 was captured), it is most likely from Company C 701st TD Bn, CCB @1stArmoredDiv, destroyed Dec 1942 (probably with crew fatalities). Thanks to Richard Pinches for photo #TunisianCampaign #RIP

Time for my quarterly row with @UtilitaEnergy How the hell is this acceptable? All to stop them robbing me of an additional £200 a month without my consent?

I can't pick a defined list of my books of the year. So later I'll post a pic of some books I have read or reread this year. Enjoyed them all. Some '24 purchases are still on the TBR pile.

Helpfully Israel have apparently given Syria a hefty nudge down the extremist route at this critical, fragile juncture by bombing the place and seizing the rest of the Golan Heights 😡

Hi all, I will be closing this account down for good on 1 January 2025, and confining my social media wittering to BSKY only. It’s been a blast but I just can’t bear being a part, however tiny, of what drives this site now. My account details over there are in my pinned tweet.
