Born the year WWII ended. Lived through an era of optimism when you could wake up in the morning and be hopeful about the day.
Now saddened by the gratuitous acts of self harm inflicted upon future generations by the gross incompetence of our Politicians

Moldova’s vote is a clear yes to a European future.
Despite Russia’s massive efforts to spread disinformation and buy votes, no force can stop a people committed to freedom.
We stand with Moldova on their path to the EU.

England are the winners of the Women’s World Cup Rugby, but there have been no losers throughout the entire Competition.

Why are the good people of America allowing your President to continue to use your tax dollars to provide unconditional unlimited military and economic support to Netanyahu’s government to commit crimes beyond imagining.

I'm fed up with the media constantly saying Trump humiliated Zalenskyy.
Trump and Vance humiliated themselves and America with their grotesquely uncouth and oafish behaviour not befitting anyone in any place let alone the President and Vice President of America in the White House.

People vying to take over Thames Water want the Government to let the company off the hook for serious environmental crimes 😡 No fines. No justice. Just more sewage in our rivers. We can’t let this happen! Sign the petition urging Steve Reed to say NO:
