Quite right that Earl Spencer is dominating the news. There is nothing else of importance going on in the world is there?

The TV coverage of Dolly Parton's death is totally OTT. Ridiculous

@stevemarsdin.bsky.social Just read your Salient Points article on the Trappist Abbeys. Gives a new insight for when I next crack open a bottle! Excellent piece of work.

@thegreatwargroup.bsky.social Just finished reading Bruce Hubbard's article in Salient Points "The ship that hunted itself". It really put a smile on my face. Wonderful. Chapeau Bruce!

Remembering today my Great Uncle Private Richard Hildreth, 23rd Middlesex Regiment who died on this day in 1917 in a CCS having been wounded on the 31st July 1917 near Hollebeke. He rests in Godeswaervelde Cemetery.

It seems a strange coincidence that the war diaries in respect of August and September 1917 are missing for both the 91st and 92nd Royal Field Artillery Brigades. I guess some tw*t has stolen them. The 20th Division CRE diaries give a little info however.

Has anybody ever come across a case of, or have any comments about, the WW1 possibility of a man enlisting in the ranks of the SPECIAL RESERVE of the British Army AFTER Britain had declared war on Germany🤔

How the hell do they expect Government Departments to run smoothly when their Secretaries of State changes so often - and I'm not just talking about the current reshuffling.

I note Ed Miliband has been advising the new Prime Minister for months. Why wasn't he been concentrating on the job he was appointed to do?

The sight of those Labour MP's who stabbed the PM in the back clapping him in the Commons makes me sick. It sums up their character.

It is 6pm and every news programme is leading with the football. This is really beginning to p*ss me off...

The BBC were paying Scott Mills £745,000 per annum. How ridiculous..

Roger Hildreth @rogerhildreth.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

@itvcentral.bsky.social is your 6pm news a programme about football or local news?

Roger Hildreth @rogerhildreth.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Reviewing the safety of MP's? Perhaps a good start would be them stopping hurling insults to each other across the floor of the house. Designed to rattle peoples cages, and then MP's express surprise at the violence that breaks out - both from the left and right. They need to get a grip.

@mightygwyn.bsky.social Private Owen Roberts of the 15th Royal Welsh Fusiliers was KiA on the 25th July 1917. His inscription reads "O Fryniau Caersalem Ceir Gweled Holl Daith Yr Anialwch I Gyd". Having looked it up I find it quite moving - and I am not of a religious bent.

A powerful resignation letter from John Healey. And he is absolutely correct in his analysis. Surely the defence of ones country is the number one priority of any Government.

An MP gives up his seat to allow another member of the same party to stand in his stead. A slap in the face for those who voted for him. And he should pay for the expense caused as a result. I hope Burnham loses.

The time it is taking to count the election votes is just ridiculous. Surely in this day and age there must be a more efficient and secure means of voting. The current method us archaic

The standard of some journalism. When a reporter says that the person who attacked Huntley has been "charged with allegedly murdering him". I think he has actually been charged with murder. Reporter frightened to death of saying that.

An interesting Bar to the MC citation in respect of Major Frank Goldsmith, 14th Hampshire's. Boy's Own stuff - I wonder who witnessed all of this? @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social

There is a lot of coverage on BBC of the winter Olympics - but they let themselves down by making it really difficult to find out what they are broadcasting and when. You can do better.
