I think that we are still in 'end of empire' and that may have further to fall before we can climb up the other side. Unfortunately, still too many in both govt and commerce with 20th century approach.

"This isn’t really about individuals. It’s about the state of the Labour Party."

Wrong - it's about the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. They play the same game. Make sure you don't join them by preventing this kind of things in ALL parties.

If someone had done that for English - before I left school - that would have been handy. Could this be the next book ...?

Never used it/them. No intention.

There's nothing like watching people rewrite their own history. Which is why I shall like nothing more than not watching it ...

Indeed. Discussed in good detail: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Meanwhile, ask to see all the files from the Special Investigator Snow and the Epstein files.

Also, if Trump inflicts new tariffs it invalidates the agreement over NHS drug purchase. That was made only a couple of weeks ago - because he lives minute to minute.

There are no words for this. I don't want to give even a 'like'.

No UK politician wants to say how much it will cost to catch up to where we were 20/30 years ago. If they did, I am not confident that enough people would vote for it.

Yep. Last donation was in November 2025. Good People.

When I first joined in 1991, Diane was one of the people I met who held meetings at her house and gave great encouragement. The last time I saw her was when she gave a talk to the Watford Humanists around 2010. A remarkable person.

Unfortunately, none of them understood local govt as they only want national govt. They also did not know that - from the mid-80s onwards - local govt finances have been put through the mangle every single year. If they had anyone who had lived in the UK for the last 40 years - they would know that.

Especially as they have to do it every single day ...

In 1989 my then girlfriend said we had to go to the Dominion for a concert by this woman I had never heard of. I have never forgotten that evening.

For me (in the UK) USA lost its moral authority the day in March 2003 when it started a war in Iraq. It was terrible that our PM (Blair) agreed. The whole event was wrong from the outset.

All British media that I have seen, are reporting that the USA has 'captured' the President of Venezuela. They are all using Trump's term when the correct term is Kidnapped.
