THIS DAY in 2018, Harry Leslie Smith , of 'Harrys Last Stand' fame, died. In his youth he fought Nazis, in his latter years he campaigned for Social Justice.

We remember you, Harry.

I agree with both you and him.
I stopped buying the poppy many years ago. What I do is a monthly donation to another organisation supporting veterans.

You were angry at death. If you could, you would have fought the Grim Reaper off with the broken end of a beer bottle. That’s how you fought your mum’s boyfriend after you witnessed him strike her. You were 10, malnourished — “skin on bone,” as you said. jmsmith.substack.com/p/seven-year...

The death of my dad 7 yrs ago, on Nov 28th, still does, on occasion, leave me breathless from grief. But I am very grateful for those last years with him, & that our mutual efforts produced something worthwhile — a last stand for the Welfare State.
