Apt that it should be TACO time with Mexico.

In The Courts And Yards Of Leeds If you’ve read any of my books, you’ll have come across the courts and yards that ran off Briggate. There were dozens of them; this 1847 map of Lower Briggate gives an indication. Development over …

Come with me and take a look into those old yards and courts in Leeds. Have a slice of history.

I hope so!

Take a look in the courts and yards of Leeds. One of the (much reduced) beauties of the city, and one more reason why I love it.

As in an alcoholic, I believe. But man, he could write a song

It’s a song with muscle

I like that - one of my favourite songs with those enigmatic lyrics and you did it justice

Two in five arrested for last summer’s UK riots had been reported for domestic abuse Police data indicates overlaps between public violent disorder and domestic violence and abuse

Shocking, but sadly not surprising at all.

Short of opening up to freely allow aid, which won't happen, as we know, do you have a better solution? I wish I had

No, airdropping aid into Gaza is definitely not the most effective way of distributing it. But it's a lot better than the Palesitinians having to brave a killing zone to try and feed their families. At least there will be some food.
If people could supply Berlin by air in 1948, they can do this.

What's happening in Gaza is beyond tragedy. The Israeli government and the IDF want the population dead, by starvation or shooting. It's genocide.

That was a pleasant and physical hour at the allotment digging up the rest of my potatoes (they're meant to be first earlies) and cleaning up at all debris, the raking the ground clean and flat again. Potatoes now weighting down a jute sack in the garage.

Tone deaf from the BBC. Male reporter doing the news story on England women's Euro semi final.

I really don't care that some boy has turned 12 and had his photo taken. I'd only be interested in he was directly related to me. Certainly don't need to see it all over the news.

Glad I got some allotment time in before this misting rain

I would like a government that stands up for law, that demands the starving be fed, and that the guns and bombs aren't turned on civilians.

I don't think the rain was middle-class and genteel enough for Ilkley.

Some call it karma...

Definitely - the difference on Soldiers Field is incredibly

Some rain every evening, perhaps, until the reservoirs look better.

You might be right - we had thunder yesterday, too.

Well, Leeds, this is a fair bit of rain, isn't it? And a peal of thunder. The gods and goddesses are angry with us.

Now that's some lovely rain.

Let's find words outrageous and horrific, but using starving boys for target practice absolutely fine.
October 7 was a war crime. No doubt on that.
So is what's happening now. Confiscating baby food at the border?
When will they teach 'Never again' once more?
Who will teach it?

The Final Book October will bring the publication of A Rage Of Souls, the eighth Simon Westow novel. A couple of people who’ve read it feel it’s the darkest yet in the series – which surprised me; it never struck…

A reminder - read all about my final book...
