@churchill_alex David Jones (artist/poet) #ww1 RWF (pictured: via @ww1lit) did the opposite. He looked on the trenches & no-man’s land as a rugby pitch, trying to imagine what the hell was going on! I learned from C.Hughes who I interviewed 12 years ago about his friend.

102 years ago today Pte Humby, 36th Bn AIF was in front of a Field General Court Martial on account of his reluctance to get up. His response to being asked to move is one of the finest things I’ve read of the war. Tweeted before but it’s SO good it deserves another outing. #WW1

Wonder if there will be anything about Studdert Kennedy the vicar of St Paul's, #Worcester who as a chaplain on the #WesternFront wrote "rough poetry" & became known affectionately by the Tommies as "Woodbine WIllie".

@churchill_alex David Jones (artist/poet) #ww1 RWF (pictured: via @ww1lit) did the opposite. He looked on the trenches & no-man’s land as a rugby pitch, trying to imagine what the hell was going on! I learned from C.Hughes who I interviewed 12 years ago about his friend.
Every word of this is the truth...
I spent five years as Director of Public Prosecutions working on live operations with the security intelligence services. I'm not going to take lectures from a Prime Minister, who sat on an Intelligence and Security Committee report for ten months, on national security. #PMQs
My wife just went to the supermarket. They were letting ten in, ten out. Everybody queued politely and 2 metres apart. When she got in, the shelves were full. Everyone was polite. We can do this.
A full blown culture war in progress, of the like I’ve never experienced before - not even during Thatcher’s time.
I’m struck by the sheer stupidity of believing that Brexit will ‘bring the country together’. It is utterly divided, & if it happens, things will get worse.
