A fine song from Yorkshire singer-songwriter Jon Palmer. Exploitation, modern slavery and the abuse of men, women and children flourishes all around the world ....and just around the corner.
A reminder that we all need to keep striving to destroy the exploiters.

Reminds me of the time 12 years ago after my road accident. The back pain was so severe I couldn't walk even a short distance but could travel around on my bike no problem.
Not exactly sure why that was...muscle/disc damage I suppose. Posture on the bike prob made it easier.👍

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.
To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.
Especially if you're Greg Wallace and you are struggling with names of middle-class women of a certain age.

In Wexford for a cupla days.
A beautiful, historical town. Lovely view from the hotel over the Slaney estuary. Great Craic with teachers' union friends last night. Weather has limited the walking and exploration. Next time. (Random Ranger's shirt in TKMAXX!)

These will not force Russia to give up any occupied land, will certainly provoke retaliation and more innocent folk will die.
