I support the Conservative Party/Reform candidate. I have met Glen and know he will not let you down. Use your vote. Vote for change. Vote for Glen. Action for child poverty and family life. We can share what we have and work together as well as China whether it be income or sharing Roman Ridge with cyclists! He makes a fair point we don’t want to end up like China with cameras everywhere, social credits, class war, confrontation, restrictions. Taking away liberty is not the answer. People have lives to lead. It may work for China but it doesn’t for us. No one goes hungry. Each year we lose 0.5m of our most skilled people to emigration. Immigration has risen to 1.2m. The market economy has delivered here and in China. The Conservatives/Farage gave the Country the chance to vote for Brexit and you did. There were good reasons for doing so and they haven’t changed. Growth and jobs dont magically appear. No one owes us a living. Growth has been better or equal to the eurozone. Like many countries including China the birth rate has stagnated. Real wages have stagnated. Yes there are climate and population changes which are out of our control but we can and will adapt to them with positive action. There are hard choices to make on the NHS which continues to deliver for everyone facing an urgent health crisis. We have with the leadership of Boris Johnson faced down Covid and the Russian land grab in Ukraine and the financial leadership of Rishi Sunak has maintained full employment in the face of these challenges. And we have the Cricket to look forward to after the election. Everyone can understand that!

Military Vehicle history. Historically the Germans and the Poles produced smaller lighter highly mobile vehicles “tankettes” armed with 20mm cannon. The Bradley vehicle with its 25mm cannon and missiles which has proved so effective in defending Ukraine and protecting infantry and crews is an heir to this combat effectiveness. Our forces need armoured vehicles and plenty of them and the logistics and maintenance and live fire training. This cannot appear overnight.

Well done Roy Hayward. It was now the Sherwoods, one of four armoured regiments spearheading the advance were making their vital contribution 80 years ago. They were heavily shelled with the regimental headquarters hit in Tilly-sur-Seulles on the 11th. Loyal unto death.

At Southwell will be the D Day art installation in September. This gives a good idea of the vulnerability of those who landed on D Day. I am following the Normandy Journey of the Queens Own Rifles. This below is an account of the D Day action here, the sacrifice and fighting qualities of the volunteers killed and wounded on that day. Today the regiment participates in UN Peacekeeping and 65 members visited Normandy. Crucially “D” Company fought its way to its D-Day objective – the village of Anisy 8 miles inland. The advancing 21 Panzer Division was encountered but Anisy and Mathieu was held. The only D-Day footage of the assault shows how vulnerable infantry were to machine gun fire as the ramps went down. Also as they rode on tanks inland.

When one thinks about where the most violent fighting took place on D-Day, you wouldn't be wrong in citing Omaha Beach where the highest number of casualties...

June is Choir Festival and this year 80th D-Day month. Amazing to see 95 years olds still telling their stories. This Faure still gives me goosebumps. Singing this in the Warwick Choral Festival on 22nd June. The men sounding pretty solid in rehearsal on Monday. Apologies in advance if this is not your thing but I hope you find a June community event you do like! Every year since 1801 the Haydn has been played in Cadiz where it was first performed. Haydn regarded this as one of his best pieces and you can see why.

Yesterdays foes are todays firm friends and allies against aggression. The Matilda II was the best tank we had in 1940 and did pretty good. The Sherwood Foresters fought through with great distinction capturing the Tiger I in Tunisia. Things get forgotten. 21 Panzer fought in Africa captured and was captured. Reformed and faced the Warwickshires, Foresters and Canadians in Normandy. Don’t let anyone tell you tanks are done. Tanks and all their lighter supporting vehicles are essential. Tanks are expendable just as horses were to cavalry. You need plenty of them.

How would a solar farm and MTB track at the quarry help the local area? I get that you can’t comment on individual sites but if you don’t (human nature being as it is) will the Council actually do anything to relieve the deprivation? It’s easier to do nothing. Highfields has been waiting since 1985.

So this here will be our (only!) 4th July election thread. Its always interesting to look back on a thread like this in future years. I like to follow Sky News on elections. Our elections are keenly watched abroad as people learn from our mistakes! My own interests are farming, environmental, economic, social church, youth education and opportunity and defence & UN diplomacy so inevitably the thread reflects this. But have your say.

Consent. Impartiality. Self-defence. One reason we support community events like vintage and re-enactment is so that the lessons of the past (usually hard won!) are not forgotten. Did you know that British tanks in 1940 were so bad that 1700 tanks of the Covenanter class were produced that never saw action. Only a handful of the excellent Matilda II saw action at the Battle of Arras on 21st May 1940 against Rommel. Forgive but Never Forget.

The Poachers block. It’s certainly helped at the quarry with the flytipping and people evading Police chases and the burnt out cars. Closing or restricting the access makes farm operations unsafe. It’s vital to maintain emergency access. Metal gates will be stolen and can be bypassed. Councillors and Council staff need to keep communicating about the local urban fringe problems farmers and land managers face so there are not more tragedies.

Good King Charles. Like so many I am very grateful
for the quiet work of the Princes Trust. This made such a difference at Midland Quarry in Camp Hill Nuneaton in 2003 as we strove to overcome the deprivation of the Coal closures with houses and jobs and infrastructure.

Sometimes I have loved the peacefulness of an ordinary Sunday. It is like standing in a newly planted garden after a warm rain. You can feel the silent and invisible life
