I’m at the VA waiting to pick up some meds. I’ve just started “Too Important for the General.” The author has a provocative take on the events of 1914. If you’ve read this book, what are your thoughts?

A very good Burns night dinner last night, the first I’ve been to with no whisky, just a small whisky liqueur to toast the haggis 🤔

I did a thing!
In my quest to become the next greatest influencer since whoever had the same ambition this morning, I have made a short video about the military history of Deception Island. You can find the 6 minute movie here:

IWM closes exhibit (which personally I always found tedious beyond belief) after 15 years, exactly on schedule and as promised. Ashcroft spits his dummy out and claims The Woke are destroying everything by pointing to completely unrelated exhibit. Telegraph happily acts as stenographer.
