No charge that I noticed. Family fun all round. Duck race around 3pm. (No animals will be harmed during this race) BAR face painting food.

SAS Veteran Albert Patterson said he kept the 9mm self-loading pistol, which was taken from an Argentinian officer, to remind him of the 22 friends that died in the conflict.

A new pop up shop to celebrate Hereford Football Club's success at reaching the Final of the FA Vase at Wembley in May opens at The Old Market shopping centre in Hereford tomorrow - Wednesday April 20th. 

I am proud to be British and this lady has always been there in the background, a rock solid stateswoman who has seen it all...

A Ledbury town councillor has been forced to apologise after she tried to ban Union Jack bunting being put up to celebrate the Queen's birthday - in case it upset FOREIGNERS. What the hell?

Councillor Liz Harvey voted against having the patriotic bunting, saying visitors to the town would mistake the red-white-and-blue flags for the National Front.

Well done and Congratulations from Hereford Voice to La Roche Restoration who have in their own words "been lucky enough to be able to offer our help across the two week schedule, helping a very deserving family to create the home of their dreams" working and supporting the BBC show DIY SOS who have been filming in Monmouth from Tuesday (5th April). 

They are a very small business ( basically one man with a van and a knowledge of many trades!) based in Hereford.

Can someone please explain how the picture on the left with a few added tree's (WHICH WILL NEED MAINTAINING unless, they are just going to plant them and leave them to eventually become overgrown and meet the tree's either side of the road causing a dark canopy, so basically a tick box exercise) will suddenly become the picture on the right?

This is clearly only one section that I have highlighted here for South Wye. Personally, I think the tree boulevard is a stupid idea that will achieve nothing.

See the full report below and make up your own minds.

When, in the early nineteen sixties he vetoed Britains application to join the Common Market he said, 'No! The British are far too insular and much to maritime to join our Union', he was right.

We are an Island Nation and we are far to proud and patriotic to be a part of this massive surge to create another Neo Communist expansionistic Empire that's intent on creating yet another perfect political atmosphere to cause war between them in the East and us in the West.

And at the very heart of De Gaulle's objection to us then and is still today very much alive and well is their envy toward us and our heritage and history. You see it's an historical accepted truth. It's much much easier to forgive and befriend the aggressor and your conqueror than it is to forgive your liberator.

And that's Great Britains problem! The French and many other European mainland nations can sooner forgive and forget the sins of Germany than ever they can in forgiving both Great Britain, The Yanks and the Russians from liberating them from their capture and servitude to the Germans following the end of hostilities of World War Two.

It's true. Every single European nation that was liberated from the German aggressors by the British and the Russians are never forgiven. Charles bloody De Gaulle hid in London for most of World War Two and despite Churchill allowing bloody De Gaulle the honour of leading the liberation march through Paris after their liberation by us and the Americans, still, even then, the barstard couldn't bring himself to be grateful for the British blood that was spilled in freeing them from their captivity.

And why are we in Britan so accepting of their angst, envy and dislike of us? Because we've become a nation of apologists. That's right! We are sorry for just about everything that's wrong with the modern world. GIve Great Britain a scenario that suggests that our foreign policy of decades gone by was wrong and we'll crawl on our knees begging for forgiveness and bloody apologise for it. It's become something of a national pastime of ours. Whether it's the carving up of Western Europe and Eastern Europe after World War Two or our colonial historical activities in the Middle East or some other conflict in the World, it's we the bloody liberators that are the ones who get the blame and are required to say,'we are bloody sorry'.

I mean, your bloody Russians! Over twenty two bloody million of them lost their lives fighting to liberate themselves and East Europe and what thanks do they get for their labours and their sacrifice? Bloody none! They're in the same rotten boat as us. They are the liberators and because they are the liberators rather than the conquerors, the rest of Europe that gave in, surrendered and helped build the Death Camps to exterminate six million Jewish people, they hold them Russia and us Britain in the same contempt for fighting and not giving up.

And finally, if only President Reagan had not said, 'Tear down that wall Mr Gorbachev', this world would be a much safer and stable place. If that monstrous partition of a wall was still in place then my Country would not be having its Referendum because of the bludgeoning impact of millions of migrants. We would have our missiles aimed at them and theirs at us and every four bloody years we'd all get together at the Olympics and try to compete against one another in Track and Field events whilst one or the bloody other was doped up out of their minds on anabolic steroid drugs that'll eventually see a man or a bloody woman being able to jump over the roof of my house or run the hundred rotten yards in eight seconds.

They were happy times. Yes indeed'y! We all knew where we were and where we stood back in those good old happy days when that bloody Berlin wall was there stopping us and them ever meeting in some apocalyptic confrontation that's fast developing now as the mandarins of Brussels begin their dreams to have the Ukraine and Russia's newest enemy Turkey belonging to our happy gathering of member states who see the Slovakian nations as the new battleground to deploy the European Army troops for the next fifty years of our second Cold War.

And it's coming. Pretty soon, if we don't vote to Leave the EU our British boys and girls will be deployed in some Godforsaken cold and dreadful Eastern European place ready to deal with the threat of Russia who'll want exactly what the EU wants. More land and access to more natural mineral resources as both continue their expansionistic policies!

It makes you wonder why we ever bothered fighting the Hun in the first bloody place!

For those of you who did not see this interview this morning on BBC Breakfast - it certainly did not pull any punches

 Dam I have missed a word out on the heading again duh!!

There is a thriving Polish community now in Hereford, so it is good to see that a new Polish restaurant has opened. 

PRL Restaurant

48 St Owen Street

Hereford

HR1 2PU

They offer only 3 or 4 dishes on the menu each day because everything is purchased on the day and cooked from fresh. I had the pleasure of trying the restaurant out today with my good lady and we had two really nice meals and it was very reasonably priced.

Regardless of whether you are Polish or not give them a try, I am sure you will enjoy some good home cooked traditional Polish cuisine. 

Here are my bets for the Grand National:

Gallant Oscar - Win

On His Own - Win

Many Clouds - Win

Shut The Front Door - Each Way

Who do you fancy to win?

Hereford Police were loading bags of cigarettes seized tonight from the 'Kurdish Owned' European shop in Eign Gate.
