The contemptible One-Eyed Son of the Manse, Bottler Broon, the Snot-Gobbler, the Prime Mentalist…take your pick from any of the standard alternative names on the political side of the web…has just been attacked by Winston Churchill’s grandson in no uncertain terms. Except in his own mind, nothing can compare Brown […]

Those who serve in the Armed Forces are people prepared to fight and to die for what they believe in. Fight for values, fight for freedom, fight for the soldier standing next to them, or sometimes, fight purely because they are ordered to do so. But fight bravely they always […]

The Eye is frequently reminded of the frailty of human life and the inhumanity we too often see. Hence the Eye keeps track of things which must never be forgotten. Today is the 67th anniversary of the infamy of the Pearl Harbor attack.Nine ships of the U.S. fleet were sunk […]

From a newspaper which used to be known as the Daily ToryGraph but now shills on a daily basis for the Labour Party, we obtain some very disturbing news. In 1982 the icebreaker HMS Endurance was withdrawn from around the Falkland Islands. Although not a front line ship its withdrawal […]

This post is combined from a variety of articles, posts and news articles so not my original work, but, all together, they deserve a much wider audience than just in Gibraltar.

The All Seeing Eye comes from proud military stock and is always humbled by the service given by others. Hence a suggestion to my small yet loyal band of readers – please consider buying this calendar. Only GBP7.99 and every penny goes to charity*. The charities are Combat Stress (an […]

I’m specifically avoiding a “It’s This Long” comment based on the photograph because Lord Ashcroft (who is the world’s biggest collector of VC’s. That’s slightly due to our current government’s contempt for our armed forces which force grieving spouses to have to sell them on) has published a book called […]

The time-zone my job has just taken me to and also the out-of hours work I’m doing now means that I’m horribly late blogging about something I care about enormously. James Cleverly posted the picture which I snaffled and there are, I’m delighted to see, tens of thousands of other […]

It’s typical, isn’t it. Jonathan Woss and the bloke we’ve never heard of before are all over the news, while things like this barely get a mention. L/Cpl Matthew Croucher is only one of 20 living recipients of the medal, awarded for acts of extreme heroism. The marine dived onto […]
