Shocking neglect and abuse of retired Lt Col Stephen Maguire DCM SAS, a natural born leader of men who spent 40 years in service to his country, and his son's long fight for justice. Please share Ben's post widely: "My father, Retired Lt Col Stephen Maguire DCM SAS, is a man who spent nearly 40 years in dedicated service to this country, serving from 1970 until 2009. He is a natural leader, a decorated soldier, to those who served with him. However, he has been completely abandoned and betrayed by the very system he gave everything to. I am fighting for justice for my father. This struggle is a mirror of my own life; my own journey marked by the negligence of MPs, charities, and veteran services which led me to the absolute rock bottom of homelessness as a veteran myself. I know exactly what it is like to be discarded by the people who promised to provide support. After years of fighting, we finally have a pathway toward the right care, but the damage is already done. The sheer scale of the failings along the way has crippled a man who likely only suffered from PTSD. What should have been a manageable recovery became a total collapse because of institutional incompetence. This isn't a failure of one person or one office it is a systemic rot. For too long, the UK government, regardless of which side of the fence they sit on, has played a political game with the lives of our veterans. Whether it is Labour or the Conservatives, the result is the same: service men are treated as assets when they are useful and as liabilities the moment they are broken. We are told our sacrifices are "remembered," but the reality is that once the uniform comes off, the care vanishes. We sought help for my dad, worried about PTSD and dementia resulting from his service. Through the SAS Association and Veterans’ Aid, he was referred to various healthcare facilities. Instead of professional care, he found negligence from these referrals. In the last few years alone, he has been through multiple institutions that have failed him. We've dealt with incorrect diagnoses, doctors who tried to push him out of their care because he was "too difficult," and the removal of life-saving medication that led to him being sectioned under the Mental Health Act. He was sedated and left to decline without specialist care. His PTSD was completely ignored, and his medical history was dismissed. In one instance, he was admitted to the hospital due to low sodium caused by the excessive use of anti-psychotic medication. The most infuriating part is the silence from the top. MPs have explicitly ignored this situation and failed to act for a Lt Col in 22 SAS. The "Military Covenant" is nothing more than a piece of paper used for photo opportunities while men like my father are left to rot. The system has failed. The NHS has failed. Veteran charities have failed. From the MOD passing the buck to the medical incompetence of the facilities, my father has been abandoned like thousands of others. I am posting this because we need accountability. It is not enough to simply "help" now; there must be justice for the way he was treated. My father spent four decades looking after his men and serving at the highest level for the United Kingdom; it is a national disgrace that the government failed to look after him and many like him. Do not listen to the rhetoric the government continues to push. As this is an example of what happens after 40 years of dedicated service. Please share this. We need the people in power to answer for this. We need leaders who actually lead, not politicians who just talk." facebook.com/story.php?story… bobshepherdauthor.com/2023/1…

“Disgusting… The worst form of bootlicking.” It’s safe to say that Alastair Campbell doesn’t agree with Steve Witkoff that Putin is a ‘humanitarian’. @IainDale @campbellclaret

Imagine jumping from a helicopter behind enemy lines at night to capture an ISIS cell leader, not knowing if you'll come home. Then imagine coming home to a double murder investigation. In July 2022, five SAS soldiers came under fire in a pitch-black field in Syria. The two people in front of them refused calls to surrender, and the soldiers believed their lives were in danger. They fired. An internal review cleared them on self-defence grounds. Days after a BBC Panorama on the SAS, the Director of Special Forces overturned that review and referred them to the military police. The soldiers were arrested at secret bases in Syria and Iraq, and their homes were raided. Detectives asked for a sleeping baby to be moved so they could search under its cot. Forty-eight hours after their police interviews, the same men were sent back to jump out of helicopters into enemy territory, with life sentences hanging over them. Their legal support was one sheet of A4 listing legal aid solicitors, plus no more than £500. After nearly three years of limbo they were told there would be no charges, but the case could be reopened at any time. They have never been formally cleared. All five have now left the Army. They've been through broken relationships, drinking, and in one case an attempted suicide. The SAS is losing more experienced soldiers than ever, and the Defence Secretary has refused to meet them. This is outrageous. They aren't asking to be above the law. They're asking for a fair process. Our soldiers deserve protection from lawfare, not to be treated like criminals by the state they serve. #SAS #Lawfare #StandWithOurSoldiers

This tiny YELLOW dot is Israel, the only Jewish state in the world. They want you to believe that the tiny YELLOW dot is the oppressor and colonizer, and that the RED Muslim countries surrounding it are the oppressed. Just how delusional can they be? These people are sick

Restore Britain are trying to deliver leaflets in Holborn and St Pancras and an aggressive mob of far-left Stand up to Racism activists are stopping them. The police *appease the mob* instead of protecting the democratic process. Utterly unacceptable.

Ed Miliband just pledged £88 million of our money to Gaza at the UN. Here is what he didn't mention. UNRWA, the agency receiving our money, had nine staff confirmed as participants in the October 7 massacre. The UK paused funding. Then quietly resumed it. Today Miliband sent £88 million more without mentioning October 7 once. The New York Times documented Hamas skimming $1 billion in UN aid for tunnels and weapons. US federal investigators found Hamas diverts up to 25% of aid directly to its fighters. Qatar, who co-hosted today's UNGA meeting with Miliband, bankrolls Hamas leadership from Doha. This month Trump's ambassador accused Miliband of "Jew hate" after he filmed himself claiming Israel blocked medicines from Gaza. Israel's Foreign Ministry called it outright lies. He posted the video anyway. He has the intelligence. He has read the reports. He knows where the money goes. He chose to send it anyway and call it humanitarian. Our £88 million. His conscience. Their tunnels. Ed Miliband is a very dangerous idiot to have any power whatsoever.

“Chilling threat to our democracy” Coming from a party that tried to cancel local elections for millions of people, scrap jury trials and release violent criminals back into society.
