Thomas Donelly, my great grandfather, who was captured during the fight for Singapore, succumbed to the torture of his captors on a "Hell Ship" from Formosa to Japan in April 1945. Laid to rest in Yokohama. Raising a glass to him on this VJ Day.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
Repost if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.
Remembering
the one and only
Mr #DavidBowie
born on this date in 1947.
What are your absolute
favourite #Bowie tracks..?
In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now
