I agree. I had measles as a child. Long term damage, rarely talked about. It can harm the body in ways, not even immediately obvious. Help parents know the safety of vaccines , but how terrible a disease it is, and that thankfully their child can now avoid it completely.

Good luck Laura. We visited Montreal a few years ago. It is a beautiful city, with a wonderful waterfront to walk along. There were musicians playing outside the Cathedral on Sunday and the art museum, is really 3 for 1, so not to be missed. 😃

Bendor, this is depressing. I have been enjoyed the repeats of your programme and the artists and models series, made years ago! You are so talented and to think your skills aren’t recognised is a sad reflection on what the DG thinks the public wants. BBC4 has lots of music, repeats too. Art though?

Leigh, sorry for you. This is a journey. It comes and thankfully goes. Treatment is better than years back. The special nurses are a great innovation and game changer for getting right tests and treatment under way, even before you get to consultant. Helps keep u out of A&E

Is this for real? Not enough is ever said about the absolute horror and misery they caused. It insults all Catholics and many Protestants in Ireland, that people continue to glorify their barbarity. If real, does she know what they did? Shameful.

Scones are really easy with soda bread flour and buttermilk. Easy to get in most shops here in Ireland.

Watch out for pick pockets. Avoid metro, they are everywhere there and will ruin your trip. Apart from that, it’s a beautiful city and the old quarter is very interesting, full of interesting shops and the wonderful Picasso museum. Hope you have fun.

Well done Claire. Please do everything you can to make Belfast be less run down. It is filthy and miserable to walk through. Could this area of Belfast become more like Paris? Filled with small specialists shops and nice cafes. Thanks for all the work the SDLP do.

Congratulations on sticking with the story. Dreadful abuse, the victims all suffer so much.

This is the correct response Rachel. Fund palliative care fully, then see how people view AD. Removing the fear of an awful death, seems to be what people are after, that’s just any radio discussions I have listened to. Thank you for your brilliant work and writing.

I read this too. Rachel is inspiring and wonderful. Let’s hope Labour look at funding palliative care properly.

I care about NHS. I want our doctors and nurses to be paid well and appreciated by the public and government. I want it to be an easier place to access as a patient. So, please anyone who can make this happen, please do this. A&E, was so terrifying, when last there, I now live in fear.

Sums them up perfectly.

I heard you talk of this, on R4. It sounded horrific. I think you and your family are brave, heroic and inspiring. Qualities Trump and his frightening team are not. In Belfast it has not been good to “other” people for being different to yourself. Peace is better.

Scary result. Thanks though to Newsagents; for excellent reporting and commentary from USA. Keep looking for hopeful stories for people like me Lewis. I just can’t believe the level of misogyny, sexism, and strange behaviour there seems to have been. Is politics polluted world wide now ?

Love her yellow drape. Gorgeous. I am sure museums who invested early in women artists years ago, are delighted to see the huge prices, such works are now achieving in auction. Even better how much the public are interested in the works too.

It looks great on news, wish they would play the choirs singing both national anthems on main 6pm news though. Might help people who voted Brexit, to accept that France and EU are not what they were being told. Terrific to see UK being properly represented internationally, after clown shows
