    My late father turned 20 years old the day after #DDay. He was stationed here, in a segregated US Army, preparing for the landings. This country gave him the sense that he was a human being. Yes,he was a Yank But it was more than that. He went over later-all the way to #Germany.
    BBC Radio newsreader John Snagge gives the first news of the D-Day landing at 9:32 AM to the British public.

    #PiersMorgan has blocked me (a badge of honour, by the way) so I can't read his tweet. But I wouldn't mess with Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor. #PrinceHarry
    Suddenly Piers doesn’t want any more publicity about Meghan and Harry. Why would that be?

    This is a message from Lee Rigby's family asking his name or image not be used to attack black lives matter and that they send George Floyd's family their condolences. They do not support his name being used to whip up hate

    Spent some days watching footage and learning about the #IrishCivilWar and the Irish Famine. I didn't know. I didn't know. .....and #WinstonChurchill and #Ireland... Didn't know that, either. #IrishHistory....should be taught in the UK..and British history, too. All of it.
    #OnThisDay in 1922 the #IrishCivilWar began with the shelling of the Four Courts in #Dublin. Lasting for 10 months, the #IrishCivilWar claimed more casualties than the 2 year-long War of Independence. #IrishHistory #Ireland #Historyandheritage #twitterstorians

    The #BBC made #NigelFarage. He's been on #QuestionTime so many times-even I've been on with him. Maybe they thought he was entertainment...or some kind of political maverick...but the Corporation owns this...and should admit it.
    Watch @EdwardJDavey call out the BBC for their failure to hold Nigel Farage to account.

    #Harry was totally pristine. Wore his service medals. Paid respect to his dad and to his grandparents. Was there for his mom, too...and above, for his children: the grandchildren of the King..and rightful prince and princess of the blood. Very good show, H! #PrinceHarry

    Rescuing human beings in the water....is a poll question? #Migration
    Migrants have been pulled from the water in the English Channel during a rescue operation by the coastguard. Do you think The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) should rescue migrants in the channel? #Poll

    This is an MP-slagging off the UK abroad. Just thought you should know. Garage #NigelFarage
    "In my country can't say anything or you might get put in prison" Patriot Farage denigrating the UK, poisoning minds against his own country for cash.
