Thrilled Kier Starmer is taking a firm line. Elon Musk jumping on the band wagon as per. Farage lobbing hand grenades then sprinting off. Chaos merchants just love attention so they can ๐คฌ off! Police and Courts have got this. Iโm sticking with Kamala Harrisโs joy.

Fantastic news. I have just sold my 41st Pocket Novel to @TheFriendMag @SWWJ entitled Castle of Secrets. Due to be published on 26 September. Really excited to have another acceptance. The thrill never goes away.

Hello All and Happy Saturday. Walked the southern part of the old railway line from Singapore to Malaysia. Plenty of time to think of the POWs who assembled at Singapore Station, were packed into metal rice trucks and shipped off to the Thai-Burma Railway.

Overnight, 80 years ago, Bomber Command sent 128 aircraft to attack Trappes railyards, supporting #DDay. Of the 900 men who attended the raid briefing 115 would not return - 78 lost their lives. Don't forget the bomber boys #DDay80. Raid covered in full in 'D-Day Bombers'.
