@charlierad.bsky.social is spot on here. Thank you to @ecasalicchio.bsky.social and @politico.com for elevating our voices. We doff our caps to those of the greatest generation and hold them in their rightful sacrosanct position. However, let’s not forget our veterans of today.
Great @politico.com article by @ecasalicchio.bsky.social
Former Veterans Minister, Johnny Mercer, states:
“This is probably the fairest assessment l've seen since leaving office about how we as a Nation care for our Veterans. Well worth a read today of all days.”

It’s been an enjoyable (but tiring) couple of days celebrating my first-born’s 16th birthday this weekend. Hugely proud of the young woman she’s grown in to with her kindness, enthusiasm, generosity and wicked sense of humour. Happy Birthday Evangeline xxx

I word I intend to use more often. Thanks Aussies!
Australia’s oldest dictionary of Australian English has chosen “enshittification” – a slang term referring to the deterioration of products and services online – as the word of 2024.
Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary names ‘enshittification’ word of the year
Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary says term captures widespread sense that things are getting worse.

Colour me shocked, I tells ya. SHOCKED!!
The Express seem to have forgotten that the policy they are blaming Labour for was implemented by the Tories last year. An innocent mistake, I'm sure.

VIP tickets booked for We Have Ways Fest V in Sept after such an incredible long w/e in July this year. It was scorching weather but plenty of great cider to quench thirst, whilst listening to great talks from people such as @claremulley.bsky.social James May and @almurray.bsky.social. Can’t wait!

I talked previously about issues with Veterans UK and their obfuscation, denials and failures with my case. I’m not the only one failed. This is the Independent Complaints Report about the handling of my complaint. It never came with security classification so, here it is! #VeteransUK #Veterans

I’ve moved on to this incredible album by Pulp, purely because of my previous post! It’s tracks like ‘Acrylic Afternoons’ that, I believe, could only be made by a very English band. It’s sleazy, sexy and sultry. Brilliant live as well!

In the yrs after medical discharge from the RAF, and yrs in and out of hospital, I began volunteering and taught myself how to do traditional coach painting. In 2011, I started a business doing this and had the chance to paint things like this! Fastest steam loco, Mallard, Flying Scotsman and an HST

Morning all! I thought I’d use Sunday morning to talk about my challenges in accessing my disability pension from Veterans UK (Ministry Of Defence) after injury in service. The highlighting of unfairness in this system, the misapplication of rules by VUK and unnecessary suffering placed on veterans
