A poor Punjabi carpenter built his daughter’s first bat with his own hands. They mocked him for letting her play cricket. Years later, Amanjot Kaur became a World Cup winner with Team India, one of the most consistent performers of the tournament. This is Father's faith & love for his daughter and true feminism.

This is an image from @I_W_M of British Commandos on a landing craft approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944. War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices so that they should never be necessary again.

I'm really excited to hear that Royal Mail are releasing a set of stamps called "Valour and Victory" to celebrate VE Day 80. And who is one of the celebrated heroes? Only the incredible William "Bill" Tutte, you can even see the Lorenz SZ42 behind him! 😍eadt.co.uk/news/25112166.…

Hitler trusted his unbreakable Enigma machine. But in a quiet English estate, a team of mathematicians, misfits and mavericks proved him wrong. They didn’t just crack the code—they shortened WWII by 2 years & saved millions of lives. This is the incredible story of Station X:

#PostOfficeScandal Here is the @Channel4News piece by @NanettevdLaan and @alextomo on todays evidence from Ian Henderson (@forensicgod ) and Ron Warmington (@RonRwarming ) at the @PostOffInquiry In stark contrast to the many @PostOffice and @fujitsu_uk witnesses we have heard from so far their recollections were clear. Strange isn't it when you are telling the truth you don't have to think about your answers and you don't have any issues recalling actual events right down to the type of folders used to store documents in Post Office HQ at Old Street. During the session today Ian Henderson referred to a cover-up multiple times. He believes there is sufficient evidence in the public domain for the @metpoliceuk to carry out a full investigation which they have indicated they have 80 investigators to work on this scandal. @JoHamil73963257 spoke to @alextomo after todays session thanking them for their work and dedication over the years. It was thanks to Second Sight that first helped uncover this scandal, now known as the UK's biggest miscarriage of justice in British legal history.
