Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

I was in Helmand with UK troops. Draft dodging Trump's words are a gut punch to those killed Donald Trump has claimed NATO troops stayed "a little off the front lines" in Afghanistan. It's hard to know whether he's ignorant or just doesn't really care.

you're sending those cards *outside the UK* which means that Royal Mail are only handling the first part of the journey - other countries' mail providers have their own charges, which RM has to pay from the price you paid in this country.
