Good for you for speaking up. I had a lot of time for her, but she's got this badly wrong.

I agree with you. There's a brilliant letter from a wing commander based at Greenham (hers truly was there!). There were breaches of the fence then & they had a budget for such things, and no one went to prison. He thinks labelling PA as a terrorist group anti-democratic.

Thanks for posting. Been thinking of this all morning since I heard it on the news. We were talking about the horror of it in the local cafe. Just dreadful.

I found this so upsetting when I heard this on Radio 4 this morning. The courage of Anas al-Sharif. They knew this was a likely outcome, but they carried on. The sheer evil and cowardness of these cowardly massacres.

If we can’t speak, why live? The Taliban is trying to erase women. Nowhere else in the world do women and girls face such relentless attacks on their rights and lives as in Afghanistan, simply because of their gender. But last ye...

The people who brought you Brexit on a promise of β€˜control’ now threaten civil unrest and frothing racism as govt policy…
For love of god can we just stop listening to anything they have to say. They represent nothing but inadequacy and failure. Surely our country can do better than this.

Now I can see what he and our Foreign Secretary, David Lammy have in common. He described Trump as β€œdeluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic” and a β€œneo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath”. Now he sucks up to him. They must have had a good time fishing together in the UK recently.

Arctic Temperatures Hit 86 Degrees - Climate Crisis 247 In Norway, temperatures within the Arctic Circle reached 86 degrees F. Finland posted a similar figure. Global warming has been blamed. So has Arctic
