    You lot of pompous...arrogant..."upper class" twats... Disrespectful and condescending in the most egregious manner... Equal treatment of all military personnel in being sent home...the inquiry into their questionable labour deployment and access to basic human rights is all that was being requested... Oh I am gravely disappointed in the response to three perfectly reasonable enquiries by this particular "establishment"... Military discipline is of tantamount importance... An absolute necessity... Without a code of conduct there would be chaos... However... The war was over...!!! 🇿🇦

    I've been aware of Evelyn Waugh since my school days 50 years ago. I'd heard of the TV series Brideshead Revisited when originally aired but didn't watch it until perhaps 5 years ago & again recently. upon reading the book I could hear Charles Ryder as clear as a bell. Today I've ordered 5 more of his books &, having watched these 3 Arena programs, am hooked!

    It’s times like this when I think ‘thank heaven for RUclips’! This is just wonderful in too many ways to mention individually. It’s clear that Watson has been overshadowed by Holmes for a long time, while at the same time carefully studying Holme’s methods, and with Holmes absent Watson is given an opportunity to now show HIS detecting skills, which he does brilliantly! Lovers of quality period productions like this should check out: The Shooting Party, 1985, starring James Mason and again, Edward Fox.

    The Falklands war saved Thatcher, she would have been voted out. Also the Tory government removed the Royal Navy ship and the evil Arginine government saw an opportunity. The blood and sweat of the British armed forces saved the day and Thatcher got the credit.

    The pursuit of knowledge: Earlier I sought of this book  by Trevor Royle  and I can’t quite remember how and when and why I was looking for this book or I decided to search up this book, but I did, and I found various copies online and I was about to buy one, but I hesitated, but will because I have been quite busy so many things but also I decided to see if I can find a documentary instead about the subject and I did and I found this one and I started to watch it but did not finish it so I’m going to finish this somehow I was looking for something else and I found this post at me the earlier I’m re-sharing it I will still look up the book and find out more about the book and possibly write about the book.  I have very many connections in Facebook Instagram, and RUclips, as well as actual books through which I get so many leads to pursue something to pursue something that fascinates me. Repost: The Last Days of Life and Leisure of the Racist Leisurely Communists' First-Class Raj who Ruled and Oppressed, Subjugated and Dominated and Owned India for over 150 Years as Land-Lords and Rajahs and Maharanis and First -Class Sahibs, Memsahibs and Sole-Propreitors of Indian Sub-Continent through their Occupy Movement and Occupation through devious mandatory compulsions and forced submission through authorizations permits and binding contracts and sharp claus and torts for causing compulsory Submission to the Will of the Lards. Documentary about the Rise and Fall of the Commonwealth of Communists and their Paranormal Activities in India. I will make it a point to try and watch this documentary this weekend or one of these evenings. I was about to get online the book The Last Days of The Raj by Trevor Royle which I found and was about to get but hesitated and thought to myself let me see if there is a good documentary about this subject which I should watch first in the meantime in case I get more interesting information about other leads to pursue.
