Proud son of a nuclear test veteran. Enjoy making and playing stringed instruments, usually badly! But if you’re having fun you’re doing it right!

For the 2nd time in as many days, a government minister has described our case as "serious" - also describing the "devastating" impact on our families still searching for the truth. Progress? or coincidence?

Thanks to @tessamunt.bsky.social for her support. #chinookjustice

As the days grow shorter and the autumn evenings draw in it's worth reminding everyone of the "Ask for Angela" initiative, a nationwide scheme that helps anyone who is feeling vulnerable on a night out to get the support they need.

Thank you so much Tan Dhesi, Chair of the Defence Committee , for meeting me today and for your staunch support for the nuclear test veterans. The #NukedBloodScandal is one of the greatest injustices of our time. These national heroes deserve justice and compensation. I won’t stop until they get it

Sign the Petition Justice for the 29: Expose the Chinook ZD576 Cover-up

Tomorrow @chinookjustice.bsky.social will hand a petition to No.10. They are almost at 50,000 signatures. They need a new inquiry, not to find out why this ‘unairworthy’ and ‘positively dangerous’ aircraft came down, but why it was ever allowed to take off! Please sign and share. c.org/TwrRVSg4WM

These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting with Keir Starmer to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is no way to treat veterans Prime Minister

'Exiling Prince Andrew will not be enough to save the Royal Family' Not for the first time, the Royal Family finds itself mired in sleaze thanks to Prince Andrew, says Fleet Street Fox. Sending him into exile is not enough to save them

By protecting Andrew the Royal Family has made itself part of what happened to Virginia Giuffre.

Shameful. It would be popular, would be affordable, and most importantly, the right thing to do. Where are Starmers' political instincts? What are his political and moral values??

Todays potential recruits are tomorrow's veterans.

Prolonged refusal to fairly and equitably address this injustice will produce greater reluctance to serve when the outcome is perceived to be broadly similar.
