The question of why people

The question of why people voted for him is fascinating. From a distance it looks like turkeys and Christmas, but obviously it's far more complex than that. I tend to go with the idea that at times of uncertainty and fear, people just want...

Posted on Tue, 28 Jan 2025
Yes indeed, the words 'Never Again' do ring a little hollow when similar things have been going on for decades all over the world, just not on the same scale or with the same appalling efficiency as happened under the Nazis. I fear that once the...

Like others, I was so struck

I shall never look at that gentleman and his ghost walkers in the same way again! Thoroughly enjoyed this, Paul. It's lovely to see the city celebrated properly, unlike the (in my opinion, apologies if it's your kind of thing) dreadful new TV...
