His Bluesky is here https://bsky.app/profile/nickleh.bsky.social
Subjects include:
Channel identity
Strategic value of Channel Islands
Mountbatten and the Islands
Islanders in the British Army
Collaboration or not
Repression on the islands
Madeleine Bunting and John Nettles
Fishing during the war
Newspapers and propaganda during war
Fortifications and museums and tourism
Yep we still have pt 2 of the Warsaw Uprising to upload but this part is pretty trauma inducing to edit and I don’t particularly want to this week.
So instead, let’s have some Channel Island talks.
Our book is still out
Phil has a new book coming out soon
