My dad, born 8 May 1920, joined the Royal Navy in 1938 & fought through WW2 on Malta & Atlantic convoys & Coastal Forces in the Med.
VE Day, his birthday, always meant a lot to me, esp now when we need to rekindle that spirit as the plutocrats, autocrats & other idiots are flirting with WW3.

A year ago today I retired from Global Witness, the org I co-founded 31 yrs ago. The end of an era for me but absolutely no regrets: I love spending more time with family, toiling in the garden, walking and enjoying a new career as a writer…it’s never too late to do what you want to do.
