In WW2 my paternal grandfather served in the Merchant Navy, then the Royal Navy, then Royal Navy seconded to the Merchant Navy as Engineer and Chief Engineer. He sailed multiple times to Russia in Merchant Ships and their Royal Navy Escorts.
He never learned to swim, deliberately, so if torpedoed he would not panic to save himself from certain drowning, being in the depth of the vessels.
He began the war in a reserved occupation, but soon joined the Auxiliary Fire Service in Liverpool, mainly in the docklands I believe, but joined his first ship as soon as the worst of the bombing was over.
He carried out his duties and went from a Merchant seamen to Able Seaman RN, then commissioned as an officer.
The Russian convoys were said to be Hell on earth, and some of the most dangerous runs, they were to help not only the Russians beat the fascists, a cause we were allied to Russia to do, but to keep the Russian people alive. Something the Russians never forgot.
He also served in the Atlantic and Pacific, even Malaysia and New Guinea.
I never met my Granddad as he moved to New Guinea and Australia after the war, and died in Brisbane in 1979. My dad left Australia when he was 17 and worked he way back to the UK.
I did speak to him on the phone though, and was and am very proud to be his grandson.
He never considered the Russian people as his enemy, he had true respect for them, and saw many as friends.
I too respect the people of Russia, they are not now, nor in my humble view have ever been my enemy.
Yes Putin is a dangerous sociopathic meglomaniac, as is Trump and sadly Starmer (thpugh without the might to back it up). It seems to be requisite of being the leader of a capitalist country in the 21st Century.
Starmer seems intent on taking us to war with Russia, no doubt at the bequest or rather demands of his Mossad Zionist paymasters.
Putin if pushed could easily react with force that would ensure we never rattled another sabre, ever again.
Starmer is not the “mouse that roared” he is is the germ that could easily wipe out Britain, all its sill flags and history.
But truky don’t think Farage, Robinson, Hopkins or any other of the right are a better choice, for they too are owned, funded and controlled by Israel and Mossad.
Again Russia is not my enemy. My only enemies are the genocidal and hate mongers that the 21st Century seems to cherish and nurture.
It seems we the people never learn our history lessons.

Enough Death and suffering. Stop Israel NOW
I try to temper my writing with emotion, but this picture has made me so upset, angry and frustrated.
Poverty should never happen, starvation should never happen, plague should never happen, we live in a world where in reality technology and opportunity could give all a good standard of living, the only thing that stops it are other people.
This child is not a victim of drought or natural disaster, though many are, but this dying child is a victim of religion, of zionism, of hate, of an out of control rogue state, this child, who at this age has lost all hope in his eyes, lost all imagination beyond the pain and suffering being endured before his brief life leaves his ruined body.
Natural disaster can be dealt with in a world where we see humans as humanity and not constructed foes, but this is a whole different level of suffering. This child is dying by design. The cause of death is simply cruelty and evil.
This child has hurt no one, his only issue was being born in Palestine.
If this is a result of religious belief, if this is done in any gods name, well I truly will always be happy to be atheist.
Our vile government could have stopped this. Keir Starmer could have refused to support, supply and enable Israel. The Labour Party MP’s could revolt against their corrupt zionist leader, they could stop this. Why in hell are they letting it continue. Why are they allowing this and all the other children to suffer and die.
And if we dare protest, if we dare show humanity, we are arrested by the police forces serving what now truly is the basis of a fascist state.
None of this is right. You wave flags on D-Day, on VE-Day on VJ-day, on Rememberence Day, yet you forger Why our families fought and died in WW2. You wave your flags and forget that genocide is wrong. You wave your flags and see these people as subhuman. You wave your flags and fail to understand that this all is fascism, the basis of the Nazi Third Reich building again, that this is exactly what world war two was fought to stop.
You say you are proud of being British, but then stand by when our rights to protest and stop this mass murder are stripped from us by Keir Starmer and his corrupt cabinet, funded by the very people deliberately killing these kids.
We need to stop this suffering in our world, and do it now. No person or countries should be allowed to do this.
Remember the RAF are supporting and supplying the forces torturing these people. They do it in our bloody names.
Stop it now!

Corporate War or domestic terror
Military aircraft owned by shell corporations and hedge funds are not British Military aircraft. They are not owned by the RAF, & not solely flown by RAF crews or indeed under RAF orders.
Damage to corporate owned goods is not sabotaging the United Kingdom’s services, and throwing or adding bright paint to a Corporate owned vehicle is not an act of terror towards anyone.
No person was placed at any risk of harm. No structural or long-term dage incurred. It was at worse a political statement, one that could in the very extreme, lead to charges of trespass and criminal damage.
The vehicles in question likely were being used from a UK RAF base assisting a foreign power to commit acts of war, genocide and Crimes against Humanity.
The British government denied that any RAF crews or aircraft were used to support the, in my opinion out of control rogue state. If that is the case, these aircraft, given their type and role are the only aircraft that could have been flying with British insignia in this role. If that is the actual case, serious questions need to be asked of Parliament as to why these aircraft, identifying as British military were in this role under false colours, thereby putting the UK at risk of being forcibly drawn in to a conflict that is not ours to fight.
So Keir Starmer please explain why this has not happened and why it is uk demonstrating citizens being held to account, not the private company placing all our lives at risk from foreign powers?

Not acceptable, as Just following orders is no defense.
Does he look like he can attack anyone? This is a real person being starved to death in Gaza. It may not yet be a concentration camp, but it is a ghetto, just like the SS ‘cleansed’ in Warsaw, Poland, during this vile attack, ironically the Jews were the Target of National Socialism, NAZI’S.
This is NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Turning a blind eye to this is NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Police in Britain stopping us protesting against this genocide is NOT ACCEPTABLE!
This picture is of an adult man, an adult human, I do not know him, I do not know his morals, nor views. I do not know his previous actions, prior to dying of starvation that is, I do not know if he has or had family, if he has or had children.
I did not post a picture of a child, because this is despicable enough, if this one photo does not make you stop and think, well then I think you are already beyond my reach.
This is a fellow human being, he is in this condition due to the actions of other human beings. It is only pure chance that I was born in Britain, and this is not me lying there, in agony, with no hope, feeling every organ shut down, knowing soon my life will have meant nothing. Or worse, it could be your son, your daughter, your brother, your sister, your father, your mother, because obviously it could never be you.
We should be almost a century on from this kind of inhuman behaviour, we should be 80yrs away from anything like this involving Jews, whether as victim or sadly now perpetrator. And to be clear, I am not stating all Jewish people are part of this horror, not even all Israeli’s, but the ones who are responsible are Israeli Jews.
This needs stopping, our government is complicit and enabling this to happen, so they need stopping. All directly or indirectly responsible need holding to true account, as those SS and other Nazi’s were at Nurenburg in the late 1940’s and early fifties.
There is no excuse for such horror. I again have no idea of the life of this man, whether he was/is HAMAS or not, though I sense given his condition it is unlikely, but the children laying with him most definitely are not.
I don’t know if the attacks on Israel were Hamas, or Mossad directed. I was not included in those secrets, but I do know its the Israeli Government, the IDF, the US Government and sadly His Majesty’s Government of the United Kingdom that are the main players in this.
To the IDF, to Mossad, to the politicians here and abroad, and to me most importantly the Police Forces and a individual officers of the United Kingdom Police, JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS is not a defense for your actions.
