@Bullwinkle19 @ConorWilson2 If I’ve got this wrong, then I can only apologise, but your previous comment implied just that.
English

@honking_a @ConorWilson2 No implication here.
If that's what you've gleaned from this chat then I can't help you

The landings were enabled by thousands of codebreakers, signallers, nurses, factory workers and intelligence assets - many of whom were women.
What a ridiculous hill to die on on today of all days.

The brave heroes on that day were all MEN. No women took part in the D Day landings. So why do you pretend that they did? @Keir_Starmer
English

@Bullwinkle19 @ConorWilson2 No, but there’s an implication that their effort was, somehow, “less heroic” than other’s. You, personally, have done that.

@EdFreeman9 @ConorWilson2 @Bullwinkle19 It’s a statement of fact that those who lived through the Blitz did, indeed, suffer from PTSD. My friends dad lived his life with a terrible fear of confined spaces, due to the air raid shelters he hid in, as a child, during the Blitz. You have no idea.
English

@ConorWilson2 @Bullwinkle19 Fair enough. They must have had nightmares for years and suffered from PTSD due the suffering of sitting in an office or at home during the D-Day landings.
Their sacrifice that day must never be forgotten.
English

@EdFreeman9 @ConorWilson2 @Bullwinkle19 I wasn’t there, but I’ve read that The Blitz was pretty brutal. I think about 40’000 people died. It’s not all about “battle wounds” you know? The whole nation was part of the war effort, it’s important to remember that.
English

@ConorWilson2 @Bullwinkle19 How many code breakers in London died from battle wounds on D-Day?
English

@ConorWilson2 @Bullwinkle19 With the greatest of respect, sir, I think what many people here fail to understand is that these things just don’t happen without logistics support, intelligence, etc. Everyone who serves is a vital part of a large machine. It’s best to just not interact with them.
English

@Bullwinkle19 So only those that died on d-day were heroes? What a weirdly absurd take.
English

@DrHelenFry @ConorWilson2 Thank you for posting this. Some of the comments on here are just ridiculous.

@Henry59lewis Bit of a standoff Christmas morning, all kicked off in the afternoon. Lasted into the night, but Meg finally vanquished the squeaky little imposter. 2 & 1/2 yrs ago and she still carries the leg around as a trophy.
English

@honking_a Must have been an epic battle with "Squeeky Squirrel" no wonder Meg keeps a severed leg as a reminder 😎😘🤣🤣🤣🤣

The commemoration of the bravery, tragedy and importance of D-Day is not ever the place to try and score cheap political points. What an ignorant and disrespectful dumbass.

Pete Hegseth in Normandy: Sadly, today different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. In Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?

@BuzzzStryker @Faustzme @gregbagwell Yeah. I’m wearing one. It’s got medals, squadron crest, the real deal, so to speak. What’s your point?

I am deeply saddened to learn that Lily was among the Navy personnel who lost their lives in the helicopter accident yesterday in Devon. Lily was a force of nature, the only serving female Commando, and inspiration to other young women - and frankly to me as well.
When I met her in Parliament in May 2025, I put the following post out on LinkedIn with the photo below.
"Her journey ... is one of courage, persistence, and service.
Lily is doing a fantastic job helping young people understand what life in the Armed Forces is really like, and why service matters.
We need more stories like hers in the public eye."
The names of the three individuals who sadly lost their lives this week have been released in full: Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, Lt Lil-Mae Fisher, PO Owen Green. My thoughts are with their families and loved ones at this terribly sad moment.
In a statement carried on the Royal Navy website, Lily's family say of her:
“Lily-Mae was an extraordinary woman, daughter, sister, and partner. To say she was full of life is an understatement: she took every opportunity to push her limits, achieve more, and bring out the best in those around her.
“We are so proud of everything she accomplished. She has left an immeasurable hole in our lives, and in all the lives she has touched and inspired. The family kindly ask for time and space at this difficult time.”

@Faustzme @BuzzzStryker @gregbagwell Silly costumes? I would like to formally invite you to London on Remembrance Sunday and watch you tell everyone there that their costumes are silly. I’d recommend The Olde Shades, that’s favoured by the Parachute Regiment. I’d love to see that. War dodger. 😂😂
English

@honking_a @BuzzzStryker @gregbagwell You better take off your silly costumes and get to work. You have a country to save and there isn’t much time.

@LUDENClassics I wasn’t joking. Between Aachen and Koln the autobahn is unrestricted. If I was buying a classic GT, I’d want to know it was fully tested. 😎
English

@LUDENClassics Which brings me to my next point: my best friend lives in Cologne and I’d like to visit him. I would be willing, at no expense to yourself, to “test drive” that beautiful 456 for you. You’re welcome.
English

@BuzzzStryker @Faustzme @gregbagwell What the actual hell are you talking about? At what point, in anything I’ve said, could you see masculinity, toxic, or otherwise? Seriously, give your head a wobble and stick to mass shootings. Europe is just fine, thanks. 🙄
English

@LUDENClassics Lovely. A proper V12 manual. I could be mistaken, but aren’t they quite rare in that paint? I’ve only ever seen blue, silver, or black?
