What's your taste in music then?

Looking forward to Jimbob's 12th solo album coming out in a few weeks time.



And a classic Jimbob tune.

Particularly apt given today’s Westminster noncesense…

Great band to see live if you get the chance. Intense.

Sad you feel that way Knuts about the crowning of the king. Iam more in favour than against the monarchy. A fair few in the armed services share my view as well ( tweet by former army major below) .Especially more poignant given that many soldiers have sacrificed so much in years gone by  to enable us to live our lives in relative freedom now .

If you get the chance check this book out which captures the heartache of what soldiers have to put themselves through and tragedy that comes post service. A ex squaddie  and associate of the author who was a soldier slit his own throat and died  when he came back from duty in Afghanistan as he struggled with the horrors he had seen:

Brothers in arms by Geraint Jones

I can see some arguments why people maybe against the monarchy eg money and the like but its also tradition and heritage which goes back a long way to the Anglo Saxon conquest in roughly 410 AD. Having said that I miss the Queen.A good figurehead which will be sadly missed on my part.

RIP and period.

One of my favourite songs given the powerful lyrics :

Dear Rick,

Both of my Grandads were wounded at Cassino. Both survived. One was in a wheelchair by 1950, the other by 1962. Both died before I was born and I never met them.

The bullets that eventually killed them may have been fired by German soldiers but their deaths are the result of General Mark Clark and other cowardly murderers chasing personal glory at the expense of human lives.

You are entitled to your opinion but I’d be careful relying on and distributing far right material on the Fishy.

Burning and flaying Jews, Christians and Muslims is a tradition and heritage but thankfully the more sensible and educated members of modern, global society have moved on from behaviour such as that.

Some military generals may of been like that in history but not all. Likewise let's not forget there is leftist extremism as well to contend with as well as that of the right .

My political allegiance is more the middle ground with a tendency to verge more on environmental issues Knut's . Similarly the people I look up to most in history are probably Jesus and the Guru Nanak the founders of the Christian and Sikh faiths. Both professed similar ideology's in that it was one of fairness and love for all.

The tweet by the former major in the British army is to me indicative of something deeper and nothing to do with far right  extremism albeit probably  a more conservative view which from a bit of research military personal tend to verge more on the right side of politics . When your in the line of fire directly and have faced atrocity's which are beyond mine and yours understanding  until you have experienced military service directly yourself  even though your family battled for the Allies (respect) its hard to properly assess how you would be moulded. From personal life experience I can testify to this as well. You can read all the books and research under the sun but its no substitute for real life experience of the tragedies which life can bring and ultimately mould you for better or worse if you let it. I note and recap  Ant Middleton the ex soldier said something similar as well. Following 8 years in the paras from joining at 17 he was a changed person from a naive kid to a more hardened young man.

Again I don't think no left or right political views  has all the answers  which is why I trust noone fully in this life.

Brilliant song on the subject of war below and probably my favourite one. First time I heard it it moved me immeasurably :
