Winston Churchill used to lay 200 bricks per day to keep his mind busy when feeling down. Depression hates a moving target.

@BearJFK It's the same in Public Services.
No leaders only process managers.

This was all expected, without replacement.
We’re talking about the planned decommissioning of the Royal Navy. And the admirals just say nothing. No resignations.
Britain no longer has a navy, but a glorified coast guard.

Where are the people that shriek about dead babies on a daily basis?

This is what Islamists are doing to innocent civilians in Sudan. Where is the outrage?

Banksy's statue contains an important message, wrapping yourself in ethno-nationalism does not guarantee national success, in fact as a strategy for national renewal extreme nationalism has a history of abject failure. Those countries foolish enough to drink this Koolaid failed.

Banksy is right

@FennellJW If he really cares he'd make a statement about the penalties of Islamic apostocy in the UK.
There is a minority that gets zero support.

@ORourke9000 The performance is as much a part of his art as the image. Grafitti is meant to appear anywhere. His tells a story whevever it lands, about where it lands.

Some of the best moments in my job are covering the nitty-gritty, often strange, traditions that make the British Army what it is. A "pace stick" competition in Catterick, involving bizarre comedy sketches, is a classic example. ⬇️ forcesnews.com/services/army/…

His statue's location and 'a man in a suit' shows that its aimed directly as a warning to parliament and politicians.

@FennellJW I wish Banksy would grow some balls and make a statement about the oppressive dealth cult of Islamism. This statue is just safe twee self congratulation. He might as well knit a pillar box cover.

Glad this is being discussed.

There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.

The British left rallying around a racist terrorist with a history of knife crime and extremism is just another step towards darkness. Let's hope the left crashes and burns without taking us all with them

Mad fat guy stabs two other guys in the street. Doesn’t kill them. Foreign government tells our government we need to change our laws to prevent an anti-war demonstration. Our government agrees. This is nuts.

In 2010 Roger Falques (pic) was honoured by the French Foreign Legion and carried the wooden hand of Captain Danjou
Falques and his men fought against Comdt Quinlans A Coy 35 Inf Bn at Jadotville in 1961
For a tiny Defence Forces, Óglaigh na hÉireann has been in a few scraps.

Les légionnaires commémorent aujourd'hui le combat héroïque de leurs anciens de Camerone. Le 30 avril 1863, 65 légionnaires résistèrent toute la journée à près de 2000 soldats mexicains. Courage, esprit de sacrifice, culte de la mission : Camerone incarne ces valeurs fondamentales.

Jumping over the enemy is dead, but its still a useful capability to rapidly deploy forces nearer to them.

"When did we last parachute into combat?" This is from an exercise back in March. I'd say that an A400M at the altitude they jumped from is definitely a bit exposed. But does that mean parachuting is invalid as a capability? What do you think? Useful, or strange way to waste well-trained infantry?

@LewisJonathanE @nicolelampert The first wave of punk was loved by three youth and banned by broadcasters. This wave is apparently popular among activists and adored by the BBC

Rolling Stone magazine reviews Kneecap's latest dropping and decrees it to be "artistically daring music"
Why? Because they have a song called "Palestine" in which they compare Ireland with ... well ... Palestine
This isn't remotely artistically daring
It's comformist to the core and only serves to make Kneecap the most establishment band right now

"In my day" nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

A friend's son wants to join the army. My pal has asked me to give him some advice. I shall tell him not to enlist. Because if he survives the globalist wars they will prosecute him when he comes home. I'm fifth generation British army. Message ends.
