4th April 25 - Nearly 50,000 mainly women and children have died in Gaza since HAMAS attacked on October 7th. Israel is currently starving, persecuting and ethnically cleansing Gaza. At the same time our Government is carrying RAF reconnaissance sorties over Gaza that are clearly benefiting the IDF, we are supplying weapons.

30th March 2025 - After catching up on Question Time on You Tube, I realised why I don't watch it any more. When Dimbleby hung up his microphone and was replaced by Hatie Kopkins in a Twin Set the show descended from an entertaining discourse into an utter pile of reactionary dog eggs. I won't be watching it again in a hurry that's for sure.
