There needs to be more of this in the world... I read yesterday something so profoundly simple it stopped me in my tracks. If we want wars to end - follow the money, follow the people profiting financially from it. If there wasn't money in it for them, there would be peace 🕊 #kagyusamyeling #peace

UK recognition is a welcome step towards a better understanding of the story of the occupation of the Channel Islands. Bravo #channel4
But it'll be very disappointing if they trot out the age old tropes of "collaboration" or "gerry-bag" propaganda. Fingers crossed.
