VE Day.
a) Macron attempts to influence the Papal Conclave. [A report from ‘Infowars’ so …..?]
b) [One for Steve.] StormBreaker Advanced Glide Bomb lands In Yemen largely intact.
c) New polls in France showed National Rally (RN) President Jordan Bardella gaining traction, outperforming even his political mentor and de facto party leader Marine Le Pen.
d) German […] border police were now instructed to turn back most undocumented asylum seekers, with the exception of vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children.
Thought and prayers with/for his family. No more suffering. RIP

JH: Oh dear, shall get onto it here.
A book I can recommend is Austerity Britain, 1945-48: A World to Build by Robert Kynaston. Covers VE Day through the work of Mass Observation. Narrative history at its best. On an even more personal level; on this day 80 years ago, my Dad and Grandad went down The Strand in Torquay to celebrate with the rest of the townsfolk. My Nan however stayed home, locked herself in the bedroom and wept. She’d lost her first born to enemy action the previous year. Fred was still a teenager when he was killed in action and my Dad said she never got over it. He would have been my only uncle on that side of the family. Wish I’d known him as everyone said he was a lovely lad and a very good sportsman.
