If you glance over there, you’ll see 7 items up already today and each one takes a fair amount of reading or watching. Put those with 1319, plus HQ comments thread, plus our own wider blogrounds we do, plus the X reports … I’d say we have more than enough online reading/watching for a day, particular as the MSM is scanned by you along the way.
Moving onto our “patron “droppers” of reports, there’s an unwritten social contract ongoing, a fair amount of quid pro quo. Quite apart from the drops being interesting for readers/watchers, there is this “thing” that each “dropper” needs to feel he/she is getting a fair run at his content being seen by readers.
And that’s where we are. Nothing is formalised, nothing is signed on the dotted line, except by me for the use of the platform. There it is … the potential to actually stumble upon the truth is pretty formidable.
#8: Benedict Spence is on the ball.
I’m going with Chris Parry, who’s the Reform UK candidate for mayor this May in Hampshire and Solent – he doesn’t suck up to Farage like many of the others do. Here’s his bio:

Chris was on Talk Radio this morning and he touched on something I mentioned yesterday and that was the Falklands War. So readiness, or preparedness in the military, is how fast your unit reacts to an order to deploy. When South Georgia was invaded by Argentina on the 3 April 1982 Chris was serving in the Fleet Air Arm on board HMS Antrim. The ship was stationed off Gibraltar when the order came down from Northwood to retake South Georgia (Operation Paraquet). It took his County-class destroyer 24 hours to be 98% war-ready, which went up to 104% with replenishment at sea (RAS) as they sailed to the South Atlantic. Compare and contrast.
Seems Charlie Peters reporting for GB News is the only one (I’ve looked) covering the activity at RAF Mildenhall. In brief nine MC-130J’s of the US Special Operations Forces have left the airfield in Suffolk this morning. They’ve been flying in from the States over the last two weeks. Special indeed they can fly nap-of-the-earth at 100ft to infiltrate enemy territory using a radar called Silent Knight. Been their myself back in the 80’s, UK Special Forces air assets are based there as well. A photo taken this morning:
