This doesn’t just diminish the sacrifice of those soldiers but of their families and loved ones, especially the ones who came home with life changing injuries and trauma - and the ones who didn’t come home at all.
My brother fought in the infantry and lost soldiers in Afghanistan. The press used to report deaths before families had been told and I would check my phone over and over, scared it would ring.
I went to the inquest of one of his killed men. I saw his red-eyed parents, girlfriend and baby daughter.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Here's what Shakespeare actually wrote in around 1596 about the loss of a son - in King John.
In the play, the young Prince Arthur isn't dead yet, but his mother knows she will never see him again.
For me, this is far more moving and pertinent than anything in Hamnet.

109 years ago, on the 17th of January 1917, the United States bought the Virgin Islands from Denmark for 25 million dollars (614 million in 2024) in the Treaty of the Danish West Indies, in which the United States also recognized Denmark’s control over Greenland. #otd #history 🗃️

I'm looking for people to tell me their home's ridiculous restricted covenants for a radio programme. I ideally want you to email me the restriction and a phone number so one of my team can ring you and just get you to tell them it so we can make a MONTAGE. [email protected]

Early stroll. I imagine I am walking vertically, not horizontally. A half-eaten apple next to a fallen leaf. The breeze wrestles with the still air. A man carries a tray of loaves from a van. An empty settee in a bright room.
