I start with a few thoughts on Jaya, aged 4, celebrating VE Day as a prelude to a my family in WW2 podcast later. Then two stocks I own, and why I love them both on a risk reward basis: Eco Buildings (ECOB) and a stock I don’t write about and which will have Magna Carta frothing with rage in his asylum straightjacket on news today..

Aged 4, daughter Jaya is being told to celebrate VE day at school today. I tried to explain what VE Day meant but could not in full. Aged 23, eldest daughter Olaf says she has no interest in family history. So for both of them when they grow up , here is my family and WW2: Churchill’s bunker, Arctic convoys, a Spitfire pilot and a Normandy hero, two deaths, Operation Mincemeat (covered in more detail here), a leg lost in Egypt, evacuations and at one step removed, the Air Vice Marshall on D Day, the executed Nazi who was half Jewish and the fortunate Hungarian Jew. I hope that, one day, my kids if nobody else, will find this interesting.

It is a golden rule that anyone whose twitter handle includes #FBPE is an A grade imbecile who not only think Brexit can be reversed but has a range of other daft views. Almost certainly they work in the public sector and thus with VE Day celebrated today, meet Emma Wallis.
