I note that the Labour party had very little to say about the BBC on 'Bashirgate'

I think this is the same series that was shown on BBC4, unfortunately no longer available on iplayer.  As I was born in 1965, I was always aware of the war, and remember it ending, but never knew how it started.  This filled in all the gaps in my knowledge and made all the films based on the war make more sense (even though the war was senseless).  A must watch series for any baby boomers like me.

If I wasn't a born again laid back cgaf type of guy now ....I'd spit on the s'tnuc. 

I'm sure you can do that without bursting a blood vessel Don. 

No Whites

A better view of the damage.

I think that this picture is this time his cars and property was attacked, whereas the BBC used a picture from last time in 2019.

Reading the story it suggests to me that in this case it may be more personal than political.

I have to say though as a Scot I am acutely ashamed at the anti English and " Toarie " rhetoric that spews from the mouths of the nationalists.
Only this morning whilst watching Sky 504 Parliament channel I witnessed BJ carefully correcting himself from saying "SNP" to " Scottish National Party " giving them their correct name .
When that fat ***tard Blackford replied he took great pleasure in saying " Toaaaries " . It's all deliberate and done simply to feed the sheep that follow them.

Read tunnels of Cu Chi  all about the job of the American ‘tunnel rats’ who were all volunteers, it was a crazy job the VC really put some terrible booby traps, and they had hospitals, and theatres underground it was a massive network of tunnels. A great read. Charlie Daniels done some great tunes such as,  Still in Saigon for example.

I'll second that re " The tunnels of Cu Chi " by Tom Mangold .
I read it many years ago but still recall the story about the hand gun that the tunnel rats developed for close quarter fighting deep within the tunnels .Although a tremendous success it was outlawed under the Geneva Convention even though the VC employed the most barbaric methods against their enemy within the same tunnels.
There's also a riviting story about the effort required by the VC to extracate an artillery piece from within the bowels of the tunnels , assemble it , fire off a few rounds and then reverse the process . The VC moved it around the tunnel network  popping up in another area which had the Americans baffled . When it was eventually discovered and subsequently captured the Americans were in awe at the enormous effort required to fire just a couple of shells at them .

It's easier at the radiator switch: a piece of wire between the terminals instead of the switch will do it. But that will leave the fan on ALL the time, so actually  fixing the problem is recommended.
