Plenty to look forward to for the keen amateur military historian.

Here she is.

Yes. I fear that your taste for a nice bit of sideways blinded you to the fact that her recipe was shíte.

Has Charles got yellow fever? I must confess that with Hong Kong currently on my business trip agenda twice a year, I have come down with a serious case of it myself. The talent in that city is insane.

Oh it was, it was indeed.

I once spent a quite memorable afternoon at the tank museum at Bovingdon. A wonderful collection.

Oooh, a fellow WW1 junkie. How you have a Times log in? They've had an article every day from exactly 100 years ago. I can C&P you this week's two tank reports if you want.

Tops. Have that you baby-raping Hun. Fück site more important weapons that their Zepplins.

I've been reading them avidly thank you, g

This is where my left wing credentials break down a bit. I'm a card-carrying Lab party member but buy the Murdoch-owned Times not the Graun cos the former has daily WW1 reports and a bridge column.

To be fair, The Times is far more balanced than The Telegraph or The Guardian; probably more to the right of centre, but not rabid like the other two.

Yes, overall it is right of centre. Socially liberal but economically conservative.

But I prefer Philip Collins, David Aaronovitch and Hugo Rifkind (all centre left) to Owen Jones and Seamus Milne* for example. And Matthew Parris if one of only about 3 Tories I'd have a drink with. So even though they have Tim Montgomerie and that awful Menalie Phillips woman, the paper is much more centrist than its readers.

*In 2014, one of Jones or Milne wrote a Graun article for the centenary of WW1. They said that GB had started the war to steal more colonies. {No mention of the Fischer Thesis or the September Programme 1914 or the 1912 War Council.} No mention that these extra colonies were tier 3 mandates (too backward to run themselves} demanded Aus and SA as their rewards.

Because GB ended up with a couple of ex-Kraut colonies, it means that GB started WW1 just to get more colonies from the innocent Hun. Disgusting.

So if they could get that wrong, how can I trust them when they write about things I have little knowledge of such as Working Tax Credits or Union laws?

btw - did you know I've had 6 or 7 letters published? I backed up Field Marshall Lord Brammel on Haig's good generalship, had a reply from a Lord Mayor and totally caned the Italian Ambassador. Good paper.

Jones and Milne are very much of the self-hating left which, I think does your cause so much harm. The West, the US, Israel and the UK are automatically in the wrong, whatever the scenario. The majority of people are getting tired of this attitude, I think.

Well done on having letters published! I rarely check the letters page these days, but will do so now.

I couldn't agree more, mate. This PC, identity politics, virtue-signalling self-loathing holds our cause back no end.

And if the last few years, even the Graun readers are starting to change. Posts about Islam {which say that they are not always right and us always wrong} used to get lots of replies saying "racist". Now they get 3-4 figure recommends.

People have realised that the emperor has got no clothes.

They are just getting their heads around the fact that shouting "racist" at everyone who mentioned immigration hasn't made the problem go away. It's led to Brexit and much of the continent getting all jackbooty.

As is happening with Ukip, Afd, FN, Geert Wilders, Aust Freedom Party, Sw Democrats, Poland and Hungary etc, it's clear that people aren't taking it any more.

And worse, we've now made this form of overt racism far more acceptable than it was.

So ignoring people's genuine concerns has led to the rise in the far right and made it far more acceptable. Completely counter productive, imo.

Well-intentioned. {Well, mostly. A lot of simple virtue signalling, too.} But they've made things far worse for those they claim to care about.

Well, there we are. We agree absolutely.

Quite where it will all end, is hard to say. I suppose that the prevailing centrist instincts of the British people will out.
