The Uniforms Act 1894. Who knew?
Not me, apparently and I am a solicitor.

Working on a presentation and...JFC, we need to shut down the pulpy "[Thing] of Auschwitz" machine until we can figure out what's going on.
These things are just stealing the oxygen of important Holocaust histories.

On #WorldKindnessDay and at the start of #TransgenderAwarenessWeek we’ve picked this book from our #LocalStudies shelves. ‘Before we were trans’ gives new insight into the rich history of gender – aspects largely ignored in the past. A fascinating and enjoyable read.

President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"
Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

I bet the conveyancing solicitors acting for the Chinese crypto scammer reported her to the NCA and that's how everything came to light!
No more conveyancing please until at least Spring 2026!

Just back from The Choral with Ralph Fiennes, Alun Armstrong, Mark Addy. If you like music, Yorkshire pragmatism, the futility of war and some mild sexual references - go, it's beautiful

Lordie, this is just the most hideous thing
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Today I am remembering the Wrens lost on the Aquila and Khedive Ismail, and the lads from the Russian Convoys and Operation Pedestal.
Remembering all who have served and all who have fallen, who lie in home soil or in distant lands, or whose only grave is the sea. Remembering all who returned wounded in body or mind. Remembering all who grieve. #Remembrance

After junior parkrun I have made my way to Torquay war memorial for Remembrance Sunday. Stopped off at Costa for a warm drink and because I have medals on (such that they are) I got a free drink!
Well done Costa and thank you!

Glorious late autumn parkrun this morning in south Devon. It's going to be lashing down for Remembrance Sunday though 🙄

Scrapbooking my RN service, and looking at what few photos I have, I am internally grateful that I served before the advent of camera phones!

This was the first time I recall my father, a WW2 veteran, being lauded for his service (outside the usual remembrance that we all went to routinely, because of his *lads*)
I guess this the season for ‘what’s up with Remembrance these days’ so i suppose i should suggest an analytical framework. Three phases
1/At the early 1990s Remembrance Day was becoming pretty low key but it starts a big revival in 1994. This was initially to do with the D-Day 50th anniversary.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Lots of things bother me, as a veteran, in the lead up to Armistice Day. The DPM accidentally not wearing a poppy is absolutely not one of them.
Please get a grip.

R4 are reporting Andrew Mountbatten Windsor could be stripped of his Falklands medal.
Now, I loathe him as much as the next person but I am not sure that is even possible. Nor would I approve of it to be honest.

Those of us married to a (in my instance, former) train driver know that they are not paid for what they do but what they know.
Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

Bloody hell, this is too Einsatzgruppen for words 😧
A Sudanese mother holds her child moments before being executed by the Rapid Support Forces militia.
What is happening in Sudan is not just a war… It is a humanitarian wound, a mother’s cry, a nation’s sorrow calling on the world not to remain silent.

I love seeing Wren Okell pop up on my timeline. I wish I could go back in time to talk to them
This here is one of the great U-boat hunters of the Second World War.

Who knew?
The last survivor of the Crimean War died in 2004.
"Timothy" spent 40 years in the Navy. After retirement, having moved in with the Earl of Devon, she revealed she was a girl.
She would wander round his garden wearing a sign that said. "My name is Timothy. I am very old. Pease do not pick me up".
