100% agree. Cuts to overseas aid unconscionable. If you don’t stand up for anything, you stand for nothing.

This is from a book called Exciting Things to Make With Paper which perhaps, on reflection, should more decently have been called Upsetting Things to Make With Paper

Who is Bluey? Did he see the note or did he just send the book to a charity shop without opening it?
