    Harry Leslie Smith, who was born February 25, 1923 into Barnsley working class poverty never forgot what life was like before the Welfare State. He warned to not make his past our future. 2026 proves we didn't listen

    I guess I got confused when they gave the #Hitler salute and chanted "blood and soil" b/c it reminded me of who I fought in my youth.

    The damage done to Stonehenge is outrageous. Just Stop Oil are pathetic. Those responsible must face the full force of the law.

    I am back home to our home and I alone. It is 4:36 in the morning and I am wrapped in the blanket that covered him as he lay dying. And, I know exactly what my steps are. I will follow in his footsteps. I will endeavour to finish his projects.

    It always cracks me up when white English people say the problem is Muslims don't integrate to our society because having lived in Portugal amongst English immigrants I can assure white English people don't integrate for anything or anyone.

    Nanny state much? Don't you read the fire escape route on the back of the hotel room door? Has thinking become that scarce in Britain?

    Dear Trolls: Just so you know, I lived through the Great Depression, The Second World War and deaths of my wife and middle son. So you don"t scare me and I am not going anywhere.

    I told Harry before he fell into a deep sleep about the concern rippling across Twitter for him and he said to me, "tell them, I love each of them so much."

    If Prince Harry can take down the Daily Mail, he will be a Royal who did something real for the service of the people and democracy. #DailyMail

    Here's to surviving the Great Depression, World War Two and seeing 95 both intellectually and physically intact. I assure you all I will see 100!

    This is Harry Leslie Smith's son, John. Harry is in A & E and not in a good way. He asked me to inform you in case things don't work out. I will keep you posted.

    My wife has been dead for 19 years but on our wedding anniversary August 16th; I always make sure that I drink a glass of champagne, eat a good meal and enjoy an excellent piece of cake because life is about moments of joy and despair and remembering the journey with loved ones.
