Robin Horsfall joined the British Army at the age of fifteen in 1972. He served with the Parachute Regiment and 22 Special Air Service. He left the British Army in 1984 and worked as a mercenary, bodyguard and as a medical officer is many active zones around the world. He then built London Karate for twenty years, teaching thousands the art and discipline of karate. He retired and went to Surrey University aged 56 and graduated in English Literature and Creative Writing three years later. He is the author of several books including his hugely successful autobiography Fighting Scared – which I highly recommend you read.
Good to see these two staunch pro-Ukraine voices back in tandem.
There is little or nothing I can disagree with here. But just to amplify a couple of points made by Robin:
1/ a deal that concedes land to the child-murderer is not a peace deal, it’s a surrender deal. The “coalition of the willing” is unfortunately offering a tacit approval of the putrid Witkoff-putler plan.
2/ trusted media outlets should come off the fence. A straightforward battle between good and evil should not have “impartial” reporting. It’s sick, evil and offers comfort to the enemy. Pro-putler drivel; even in an OpEd, should not be permitted.
Trusted high coverage outlets such as the BBC, Reuters, Sky, Fox, CNN etc should be 100% pro-Ukraine at all times until the war is over.
The DM is a huge website. Accordingly the responsible thing is for it to drop Peter Hitchens. Preferably permanently.
As Jon recommends. I have got “Steel Porcupine” teed up on Google for watching tomorrow.
The clip contains Clinton’s regretful speech about Budapest. He avoids admitting responsibility. If not you Bill, whose responsibility was it?
After the excellent Ron “The Gipper” Reagan, we had Bush 1; aka “Chicken Kiev”, Clinton; aka “Budapest”, Bush 2; aka “I have looked into his eyes”, Obama; aka “reset”/“Crimea surrender”, Trump; aka “I love Russians”, Biden; aka “This is what I will and won’t do” and Trump 2nd presidency, aka “Zelenskii is a dictator.”
Quite a pinpoint summation Sir Scradge.
If only certain Western leaders had the sense these two guys have.
