I've only just seen this, but it deserves posting for those interested in resistance history;

Count Robert de La Rochefoucauld, who has died aged 88, escaped from Occupied France to join the Special Operations Executive (SOE);
parachuted back on sabotage missions, he twice faced execution, only to escape on both occasions, once dressed as a Nazi guard.

How depressing that despite the generally unwelcome and inept  'improvements' to which the site has recently been subjected, this unacceptable and babyish system of censorship is still firmly in *** place.
