Today @Nigel_Farage said he was mislead by Andrew Tate on the identity of the recent murder
1) A sitting MP should not rely on a famous vile misogynistic thug for their information
2) An MPs job is to fact check
3) No British MP should cosy up to Andrew Tate
RT if you agree.

Please RT! We’re really proud to be tackling a new project @GreatWarGroup talking to people about Lions & Donkeys, putting this outdated appreciation into a modern context using studies of Douglas Haig, Britain’s Commander in Chief in #WW1 There will be talks, on & offline, a battlefield command tour at the end of 2025 & a new volume of research on Britain’s chief. We have nine excellent contributors/topics already but there is room for a handful more. Some unfinished areas at the moment are 1916, the opening of the spring offensives, personal aspects, Haig’s experiences of war prior to 1914 and post war/remembrance and legacy.

Am immense (exhausting) weekend at #WHWFest for my first ever #WW2 live gig. Thanks @James1940 & @almurray for having me, loved schooling victims for @GreatWarGroup in how you wouldn’t have a sequel if not for #WW1 & our night out with Dr Who. Think threatening to cock punch 400 people at once is a record for me, my one regret, after 20 years I STILL haven’t fulfilled my teenage dream of meeting @tinker_t 😂 @WW2TV @WW2girl1944 @kejamieson_ @hoyer_kat @FXMC1957 @s_jolley @moodyoe @likesmokenoakum @1418filmandy @louise_provan @SpitfireFilly @djdapperdan @annetysonbrown @Carolin22478581 @almurray @MatMcLachlan @DrHelenFry @historical_kate

Today's the day you get the chance to save someone's life. Go to DKMS.org.uk and register as a blood stem cell donor. If you're ineligible your £s would help too. Thank you!
Baby Francis was diagnosed with acute myeloid #leukaemia (AML) at just 15 weeks old. 💔
Now, he needs a #stemcell match from an unrelated donor to survive.

The Soviets treated their Polish prisoners so well: "I spent about a year in prison in Kharkov and in Chłodna Góra. In rooms [intended] for 20 people, 100 or more were kept imprisoned. We used the bathhouse once every two months. Hunger and lice caused the spread of diseases.

A heart-breaking moment saved in an SS picture of deportations of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It was taken 79 years ago, most likely in late May 1944.
A little child found a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy. All the people in this picture were waiting to be killed in gas chamber. They were murdered some time later.
Please RT this unique document.
