I think that the UK government has been placed in a difficult position. Following the history of wars that the UK has been dragged into There is very little appetite for further strife, but as this is all happening in real time, decisions need to change according to circumstances as they emerge.
They're being very careful to say that any attacks are directed only at missile sites - NOT offensive attacks directed at personnel or civilian infrastructure. None of it is good but I suppose that there is a slim justification.
Note DEFENSIVE.
This is happening on the 14th March. Sophie is an excellent speaker and it should be great. Come along if you're able and if you're in East Suffolk / Norfolk please share it.

Not true, certainly in Europe. We know that the vast majority of you hate this too.
This is Pippa from Romania. Similar story, rescued from a dreadful fate by the fantastic Lib Dogs charity in Lowestoft. She's been with us for five years and is the most incredible friend but still retains some of her initial nervousness.

Is this to be a ballroom or a Throne Room.
Don’t forget‼️ This is what Trump defunded‼️Science saves lives‼️
Their day will come. We know people in the Netherlands who's parents were collaborators during WW2 - often to secure extra supplies. They were hounded for decades after the war, often having to quickly move and adopt new identities when found, and ended up dumped and unloved in elderly homes.
Dear America,
POTUS is a liar. Here is Mayor Sadiq Khan (not) imposing Sharia law on Londoners:

In the UK we welcome inward investment by giving companies tax breaks and so on to establish here. Isn't that normal?
There's something beautifully poetic about a strong woman named Sparkle who took on the forces of evil to prevent hundreds of vulnerable children from being whisked away in the dead of night. This is the stuff of legends.
I couldn't agree more. The old channel 4 film isn't bad either.
The eyes of the world are on this one and to execute them like the previous sailors would cause even more international outrage.
I would be a long way away from Washington on that day. I fear that something historic - and not in a good way - is going to happen.
There are times when an existential threat like a non-fatal heart attack or curable cancer makes you review your health and life choices. Sometimes you need the fear of peering into the abyss to appreciate what's important. This is true for individuals and whole societies. Heed warnings and act.
I'm hoping to live long enough!
Yesterday was the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Belsen by UK forces. In Europe we remember these dark times but sadly it seems that no one has remembered the sin of 'othering' people to the extent that they can merely be thrown away. Please learn the lesson of history before its too late.
History has shown time and time again that when empires get to a certain size they eventually implode into lawlessness and anarchy. Without fundamental rebuilding, both internally and externally the US will fade like Rome, Byzantium and indeed the British empire. Sad to see.
Ordinary Germans in the mid-1930s were completely oblivious of what was going on around them, living nice middle class lives thinking nothing would affect them until it was too late. Even at the end of the war they were horrified to learn the whole truth. Complacency is dangerous.
I genuinely feel for the good citizens of the US - but if you’ve lost the rule of law and the separation of powers, and are now heading into the realm of concentration camps being complacent is no longer an option.
There was wide international coverage and hundreds of thousands of supporters out on the streets in Europe.
And you have friends from all over the world cheering you on.
Guess he wasn't so senile after all! 😅🤣😂
"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"
These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.
Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.
🤣
Also from the UK. We do see you and we can distinguish the good from the bad. These may be dark times but leaders like Cory Booker represent the very best of the you and we are convinced that good will eventually prevail. We will still be there when the US is healed.
