Let’s remember the deaths and injuries of Israeli’s civilians 3 years ago today. Nothing that came after will ever eliminate the pain and suffering the families and friends suffered. It’s a reminder to us that when the leaders make decisions they tend not to look at the individual, just the numbers!

We know what conservatives mean when they say cuts to every part of government. Since 1979 cuts mean “to the society not part of the 10%” they dont mean government. In democracies the government is the people, you and me. Make no mistake they’ll line their pockets www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Home sec “Let no one make any mistake: an attack on anyone in politics is an attack on us all.” It’s an attack on on democracy. Unfortunately we are in a position where Farage and Widecombe’s views are seen by reprehensible but amplified even at the risk to human safety by current structures.

Was reading the NYT today. The enormity of the attack on Gaza post October cannot be denied, genocidal & repellent. In the same vein the killing of nearly 1500 Israeli civilians was an abhorrent foul crime . If as reported Netanyahu knew & suppressed fore knowledge then he truly is a war criminal!

Just watched the sandpiper (1965). Of an era great film making. Those people lived through world wars & experienced the pain and the destruction, our current crop of right wing extremists might seem slightly absurd to them…. They were at the beginning of a more liberal country, destroyed post 1979.
