Listen up Fascist Barbie:
Canada ranks 4th in the world for overall quality of life. Why the fuck would we trade that for a country spiraling under the regime of a felon who worships dictators & doesn’t give two shits about his own people? Fuck off bimbo!

You scumbag. Hundreds of British soldiers have died over the last two decades supporting your country in your wars. Your utter disrespect, dismissal, and disregard for their sacrifice because it doesn’t suit your present narrative is sickening.

NEW: 90-year-old veteran who was forced to pawn jewelry to take care of his wife with dementia, gets $300,000 raised for him after his story went viral.
W.
A GoFundMe was started by Jenelle Marie after the veteran, 'Donald,' came into her shop to pawn jewelry after he fell "behind terribly on all of his bills."
The video below went viral on TT which showed Marie giving him an envelope with $1300 in it.
Marie then launched a GoFundMe, raising over $300,000 which will help Donald pay off debt he accrued while taking care of his wife.
"He is the sweetest old man you could ever meet and loves his wife dearly. He takes care of her around the clock and his landlord is raising their rent and he is falling behind terribly with all of his bills," the GoFundMe said.

Every Father’s Day, VVMF lays thousands of roses at the Memorial site. Some roses hold a personal message in honor of the fathers on The Wall, those who never had a chance to come home and start a family, and those who later died after the War ended. (1/3)

We had the enormous privilege of flying 102-year-old Jeff Brereton in “Pegs” yesterday, with R4118 in formation. Jeff was a fitter on R4118 in the Battle of Britain, but didn’t get to see her from this angle until 83 years later. A very emotional experience!

Introducing Karl-Heinz Rosch, a German machine gunner who served during WW2. Despite a challenging upbringing, Karl displayed bravery and empathy. Following his graduation, he was drafted into the Wehrmacht Armed Forces, but fate had other plans in store for him.
In October 1944, amidst Allied artillery fire on a farm, Karl noticed two children playing in the yard, seemingly unaware of the imminent danger. Without a moment's hesitation, he dashed to their aid, leaving his rifle behind, and safely escorted the children to the basement. Tragically, as he returned to retrieve his weapon, a grenade struck him, resulting in a devastating and grisly demise.
Remarkably, for six decades, Karl's selfless act remained shrouded, concealed by his identity as an enemy soldier. Even his family remained unaware of the specifics of his sacrifice. It was only when the rescued children came forward with their testimonies that the public learned of the courage displayed by this young German soldier.
Initially, due to his affiliation with the enemy, authorities denied funding for a memorial in Karl's honor. However, in 2008, the community united, raising funds to pay tribute to Karl's memory.
This memorial stands alone in Europe and the world, being the sole one dedicated to a German soldier and supported by former adversaries. Another similar memorial exists for Friedrich Lengfeld, who lost his life while attempting to save a wounded American soldier during the Battle of Hürtgen Forest.
The inscription on Karl Heinz Rosch's memorial encapsulates the sentiment: "This statue is a tribute to him and all who do good in evil times." He passed away just three days after his 18th birthday.

Stanislav Petrov, the man who saved the world from nuclear disaster, on this day in 1983, 39 years ago today, saw the word "LAUNCH" flash across the Soviet Union's attack early warning system. His screen stated with high reliability that a total of five American intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) had been launched and were headed toward the Soviet Union. Petrov had to make a decision: should he report an incoming American strike, or should he hold off, confident that what they were seeing was a false alarm?
If he reported it, Soviet nuclear doctrine called for a full nuclear retaliation. There would be no time to double-check the warning system or seek negotiations with the U.S. This occurred during the Reagan administration, which had taken a firmer stance against the Soviets compared to previous administrations. The Reagan administration was deploying Pershing I nuclear-armed missiles to West Germany and Great Britain, capable of striking the Soviet Union. Given these circumstances, Petrov had reasons to believe that Reagan's brinkmanship had escalated to an actual nuclear exchange.
However, Petrov chose not to report the incoming strike. In the end, his decision proved to be correct. The system had mistaken the sun's reflection off of clouds for a missile. A 1979 report by Congress had estimated that a full-scale Soviet assault on the U.S., and an eventual counter-strike, would have resulted in over 100 million deaths. Petrov, almost single-handedly, prevented those deaths.
Despite being right, Petrov was relentlessly interrogated afterward and never rewarded for his decision, according to David Hoffman of The Washington Post.

You cancelled my flight LHRVCE on the 25Apr and I moved to a flight on the 24 Apr, which you also cancelled. The gate staff at B33 on the 24th was the most shockingly bad example of unprofessional customer service I have ever seen. Disgraceful.
@SimonCalder do you find BA as bad these days ? I’ve had 4 BA flights in the last 4 weeks , all 4 have been cancelled. They used to be so good.
They had provided no information to us, when we found out info ourselves and asked them about the delay they then lied to us and turned their backs and walked away, they got aggressive with customers asking polite questions.
