Persecuted soldiers
SIR - For soldiers of my regiment to be violently ambushed by Iranian militias backed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iraq, and to have to fix bayonets to fight through to victory in the Battle of Danny Boy, is one thing.
To be ambushed again years later by British lawyers acting, ultimately, on behalf of IRGC-linked agents and relying on fabricated evidence, is quite another (report, April 25).
That those lawyers were funded by the British state and led by the individuals who are now our Prime Minister and Attorney General beggars belief.
Thanks to The Daily Telegraph's investigation, the public can now see what soldiers have long understood: we too often fight the enemy on two fronts. The enemy in front of us; human-rights lawyers behind us. To witness Sir Keir Starmer and Lord Hermer now advancing legal arguments that could reopen investigations into the actions of our soldiers in Northern Ireland in the last century is, in my view, nothing short of a national scandal.
Lt-General Sir Andrew Graham (retd)
Colonel, The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders

I have never felt so bloody rough since having covid jabs..
I feel tired.. lethargic and OLD...
I truly don't think I will have any more.... I am always telling myself this..
Then I think of the HORROR of being in hospital with covid..

There's a Home sense not too far from me, a lovely shop I can spend a long time in there  :smiley:
C & A still going in Germany, they do online too.
Debenhams was a nice shop, I miss that.  They do online, but it's not the same as feeling the material.

Me too, a few hours in bed with a lemon, ginger and honey drink. I was feeling a bit rough.
This morning is better, I wonder if you can develop. Hayfever at this age ?  :grin:
