    Gerry Gordon is my brother. How do you know him?[/size]Not sure if the Murtagh’s lived on Ruskin Ave. I think one of the roads that were ‘slum clearances’ near there though. They moved up near Boggart Hole Clough.
    Ruskin Ave was changed to Galsworthy Ave in the 1970s while we were living there.

    Apparently, the Globalist regime in London has decided to allow the Ukrainian flag to be displayed by some of the marchers at the anniversary parade.


    Ukraine fought tooth and nail on the side of Hitler, lest we forget. And their Azov battalions still adorn their barracks with portraits of the late Fuhrer, alongside other National Socialist memorabilia.


    Rewriting history, anyone?

Residents were [size=inherit]jolted awake by huge explosions  Pakistan says six locations were attacked and [size=inherit][/size][size=78%]claims to have shot down five Indian fighter jets[/size[size=78%. India has not confirmed this.
  • India's army said at least seven civilians were killed by Pakistani shelling on its side of the de facto border. Pakistan said that 26 people have been killed and 46 injured in Indian air strikes and firing along the Line of Control.
  • Tensions between the nuclear-armed states soared after a deadly militant attack on Indian tourists in Pahalgam last month
  • India claims it has "evidence pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists, external " in the attack. Pakistan has denied any link
  • Both sides will know what the stakes are says our International Editor Jeremy Bowen[ and a major diplomatic push to stop it escalating is needed.

    On this day,  pay tribute to the heroic servicemen,  alive or dead,  who served the country by dedicating their lives to their country.
    It's so heartwarming that so many people have turned out, to recognise the service they gave.

  • Four men are continuing to be questioned by police over an alleged terror plot in the UK.
    The men, who are Iranian nationals, are being held over an alleged plan to target "a specific premises", the Metropolitan Police said.
    A fifth Iranian man who was also detained has been released on bail, the Met added.
    The men were arrested in Swindon, west London, Stockport, Rochdale and Manchester.

    Police arrested the five men - two aged 29, a 40-year-old, a 24-year-old and another aged 46 - in the early hours of Saturday morning.
    The Met said it obtained warrants to further detain four of the men until Saturday. They were originally detained under the Terrorism Act.
    The fifth man, who was detained under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE), was released on bail with conditions until a date in May.
    The Met said the "affected site" allegedly targeted in the plot had been made aware and was being supported by police.
    Officers are carrying out searches at a number of addresses in Greater Manchester, London and Swindon.
