A curious year for Reigate Grammar School
Firstly, one of their old boys was booted out of No 10
Now, perhaps their most famous Reigatian - David Walliams - is mired in scandal
At least they still have John Healey flying the flag
And Romesh Ranganathan won Celebrity Traitors

A brutal analysis but fair in its conclusion.
As a 6 tour Northern Ireland Veteran myself, how anyone can think it’s remotely fair to potentially continue to prosecute soldiers after such long passages of time, and after previous investigations is beyond my comprehension.

Dennis Hutchings was 80, in a Belfast dock, on dialysis between hearings, answering for a shot fired in 1974. Forty-seven years. He died of Covid before the case finished.
The 2023 Act was meant to stop anyone doing that again. Conditional immunity for those who cooperated with the truth body. A line drawn, finally, under men in their eighties.
On 21 January 2026, Division 417, 373 to 106, Phillipson voted to take it away. Eighty-eight Conservatives went the other way.
Two hundred and fifty thousand served in Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Secretary says prosecutions have been “very, very small.” Correct, and beside the point. Small is not the same as closed.
Here is the thing about the ultimate sacrifice. The dead are finished. Nothing further can be done to them. It is the survivors who get fitted for courtrooms at eighty, and the post is written as though a poppy settles it.
She voted to reopen it, then remembered them.

Kuwait expelled 300,000 Palestinians in 1991.
No UN emergency sessions. No protests. No global outrage.
It was never about Palestinians.
It was always about hating Jews.

A Labour MP texts:
“I cannot believe, or sadly I can, that the PM has said there should be a rape unit in every police force when he presided over the abolition of the Greater Manchester one when he was Mayor”.

Hello, welcome to England & Wales where our major source of evidence is witness testimony given under oath in open court.

Lisa Nandy complains about the Tories politicising Remembrance Sunday...
And then immediately politicises Remembrance Sunday herself by saying the WW2 generation sacrificed themselves for the EU's Erasmus+ scheme
These people have no shame whatsoever

On Remembrance Sunday Lisa Nandy has claimed that no one in Britain has had to fight a war since WW2.
What about the 7,193 British soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in conflicts ranging from the Korean War to Afghanistan?
While she erases their service, the country will never forget their bravery.
Remembrance Sunday is a sacred day, not to be cynically used by Labour to justify closer ties to the EU. Whatever the merits of their argument - and I believe reopening the Brexit wars is both a colossal waste of energy and a strategic disaster when national sovereignty is more important than ever - this is not the day for it.
It’s disappointing that Nandy and Andy Burnham, who presumably agreed to this, have failed so badly to meet the moment.

Live cross examination was always a great way of testing the truth. Sadly even that principle has been lost in Scotland index cases. We now have a special class of witness and they also get the questions in advance.
Scotland likes to congratulate itself on its commitment to justice, equality and human rights. But what happens when the institutions entrusted with protecting those principles become so consumed by an ideological agenda that they begin to abandon them?
I’ve written about the erosion of fair trial safeguards, the presumption of innocence and the growing reluctance to challenge Scotland’s justice system.

Hallelujah for the Church of England and the Catholic Church standing up for their principles.
The state should not be policing prayer.

Over a 100 witnesses were spoken to.
Your idea that a few women just wandered in to a police station and now he faces a jail term, is incorrect.
