I’ve been following @Jessrocks on Twitter for a few years now. She is a wonderful human with amazing talent, both cooking and singing. Jess is always helping others, no agenda, just pure passion and I’d like to help her. #LetsMakeJessASingingChef
By helping her we also help others to eat more healthily and on a shoestring budget. Jess has to do all of this for herself and the fact that she shares her talents to benefit others always blows me away.
So come on all, let’s get her published and make her famous. She deserves it. If every one of her followers donated just £1 we would reach that goal in no time!
As the noise of battle subsided and hundreds of Argentine troops surrendered, Paratrooper Jimmy Goodall looked at the handful of farm buildings in Goose Green and found himself suddenly overwhelmed with doubt. #Falklands40
Why had they been fighting for the Falklands, a group of small islands in the South Atlantic 8,000 miles from the UK? #Falklands40

Early on the morning of 29th May, Major Chris Keeble, the battalion 2IC who took over when H Jones was killed, wrote his grim ultimatum to the defenders of Goose Green - #Falklands40
To the Commander Argentine Forces, Goose Green

On paper Piaggi had a full regiment, but it consisted of units from three separate regiments from two different brigades, none of whom had ever worked together. #Falklands40
12IR consisted mostly of conscripts from the northern, sub-tropical province of Corrientes, while the 25IR Company was considered an elite formation and had received commando training.
Wait, what, well knock me over with a feather. I can’t believe that Saint Jess would stoop so low - oh wait - it’s Jess Philips of Labour - oh okay then.
A Commons sleaze investigation into shadow minister Jess Philips has concluded she breached the House’s Register of Interest rules multiple times with late registrations of payments in her capacity as an author, columnist and public speaker, beyond the 28-day deadline.
She also “incorrectly registered accommodation provided by Google as hospitality rather than earnings.” No doubt if this were a Tory minister Labour would by demanding a resignation…
SAS patrols from G Squadron found that a number of high peaks overlooking the Argentine defences around Port Stanley were largely undefended, after the Argentine heliborne reserve ‘Combat Team Solari’ (B Company, 12th Infantry Regiment) #Falklands40
had been dispatched to support the fighting at Goose Green and the 4th Infantry Regiment had received orders to abandon Mount Challenger and take up positions on Mounts Two Sisters and Harriet. #Falklands40

WITH LAND FORCES
On 23rd May, two days after landing, 2 Para's c/o Lt Col H Jones emerged from a planning meeting aboard INTREPID with a timetable to attack Goose Green on May 25th. #Falklands40
Next day the operation was cancelled, because it 'was not favoured' in London. However, its military necessity could not be denied and at noon on 26th, the attack was re-instated. #Falklands40
The BBC reported, on May 27th, speculation in the British press that Goose Green had fallen, before the attack had even taken place. Lt Col Jones was furious when he heard this news on the BBC World Service radio. #Falklands40
