Happily retired civil servant, now in Somerset. Europhile, saddened by Brexit. Glad to leave the other place.

For years, Stephen Lennon has asked supporters to trust him and fund him. A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation, made with HOPE not hate, has raised serious questions about his finances. I’ve added my name calling for a full investigation. Will you? secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/199860/...

Donate every month. My family were merchant seamen so RNLI revered as lifesaver. Our WI visited the HQ in Poole, an amazing place. Please consider buying RNLI Christmas cards this year if you use charity cards.

Seriously, why are people still calling them "protests" after this sort of thing? In what way are these expressions of "legitimate concerns"?

Don’t recall BBC News leading with any of the myriad marches for Palestine, #PeoplesVote or #Rejoin. How very odd. How very strange. How very expected.
A BBC News article proclaiming that “thousands (are) talking part in ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally and counter protest.
