I hate religion, all religion, but when I served, the Padre was always a tower of strength, a supporter, a mentor. I have nothing but utter and total respect for them all.
It is well known, by many residents, charity organisations and officials high up, that sutton harbour group are all about money and do not care about plymouth at all. Sutton harbour group is simply a joke of bad taste.. However, until petitions ate made and agreed upon, I'd be wary of encouraging folks to fish (even if not in a boat) with those signs present
I too was in Swilly in my younger days and this was basically on the doorstep back then. I remember some of the things you mention and a great trip down memory lane. I've always loved plymouth with its once beautiful shoreline and city centre, but the council seems to keep letting it go - they do more damage than the luffwaffer themselves. Another great thing about plymouth is the architecture of the buildings - you can turn a corner and see a different style of building, a different time. It's like walking through history, walking through time itself..
The City has been systematically run into total destitution by every government and council for over 75 years. These architects with their eye for modernization completely missed the mark, Plymouth is an ancient maritime city and they tried to turn it into a modernist utopia, completely taking the heart and soul from the place and turning it basically into a concrete multi storey carpark on a grand scale. No one who lives here is proud of the city, and would probably welcome it being flattened by bombs and rebuilt again. Unfortunately it's too late for Plymouth to shake its national reputation as one of the most grim and ugly cities in the UK..
Best soldiers ! British was and being ....,(sorry i can ,'t speak in English) we Respect all Braves youngs to hace to fight against same kind of boys but stay in the other side...later they , when the war is o ver, talk about music or futbol ...no one hate s between
That was sheer insanity by the British Navy. Troop ships sitting ducks with no cover, against the advice of more competent advisors. So many blunders in that war, with so little margin of error to keep the task forces viable for the limited amount of time they had to maintain their combat capability. I've always said, it's lucky that it was Argentina, and not a more capable adversary.
I'm in the US, and this story is so haunting. I cannot imagine what those men endured in those horrible hours. I thought, surely they can be rescued...I'm sure they thought the same. Hearing the man's widow was heartbreaking...thinking he would be home in time for tea. Learning from the morning paper... Did the ship fail the men? Or did the Navy fail them?
Thanks for posting this hard to recognise most of old Plymouth was demolished to make way for the optimistic a smart new buildings in the Centre. The Buses are an interesting set of colours.I seem to remember them as being green. Maybe someone can remember better than I.
Bernhardt Memorandum (1910). At the request of the head of the American Department of the Foreign Office, Sidney Spicer, researcher Gastón De Bernhardt prepared a memorandum that condensed the history of the islands and the legal arguments of Great Britain and Argentina. That memorandum served as an internal guide for the Foreign Office until 1938. Bernhardt stated the following: “The question of sovereignty was specifically excluded from the agreement made with Spain in 1771.” This agreement contained a secret clause by which Great Britain was obliged to abandon the islands, which it did in 1774. “For 55 years, until 1829 (that is, until 13 years after Argentina's independence was proclaimed), Great Britain “He showed no interest in the islands.” “Great Britain began to claim the eastern island only in 1829” (it had never claimed it during Spanish rule; this is the island where Puerto Argentino is located). Spicer Letter (1910). In a letter to De Bernhardt himself, Spicer confessed: “It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the attitude of the Argentine government is not entirely unjustified, and that our action has been somewhat despotic.” Fitzmaurice Memorandum (1936). In February 1936, legal adviser George Fitzmaurice advised against Britain submitting the Falklands question to international arbitration: “Our position has certain weaknesses. But we have occupied the islands for more than a century (albeit illegally, as Argentina says) and for strategic reasons we cannot give them up. So the best thing to do is to take a hard line.”
The British Empire was the FIRST DRUG TRAFFICKING STATE IN THE WORLD During the Opium War, it was the conflict between China and Great Britain between the years 1839 and 1842. The trigger was the introduction into China of opium grown in India and marketed by the British East India Company, administrator of India. UK, had the support of the US who were mediators, who gave them the AM9L Sidewinder missiles that made the difference, allowing them to use Ascencion Island, despite all the help from the US, the Argentine pilots sank 7 English ships, the destroyers CL 42 HMS Sheffield and HMS Coventry, the frigates CL 21 HMS Ardent and HMS Antelope, and more than 24 ships of the Pirate fleet were seriously damaged, including the aircraft carrier HMS Invincible, which the UK never recognized due to the shame they felt when they were ridiculed in NATO.
Maggie wasn't going to let the queen take any of the glory on this one. Even at the time I thought there would be some aggro over this but obviously the palace could not say anything as it was bound to rebound back on them.
See the guy at 8:44 jump over the barrier and try to do a Emily Davidson impression by lying on the street in front of the horses before he is dragged off just in time before getting trampled.
What happened to these men of quality....sold out to house single mothers who don't know who the fathers is and immigrants from wherever. Living in big houses while the workers trying to make something are punished harder. Angela Raynor Deputy PM, single mother at 16 years old. 7 July 2024.
Fuck the Crown, Fuck the Queen and fuck the the traitors at the service of the colonialist power.For a Latin America free of all imperialist and colonialist shit, one day an Argentine flag will fly again in the Malvinas
You get a jumpsuit and snowboots, my partner went last year and took a jacket, tops, a fleece and was fine. Though he is self heating! If you book through Transun they give you a list of things that you might want to bring.
