Thank you all for your concern over my sister. When she was sent to jail, she just could not accept it. She swore, spit at us and became violent. As a result, the family have agreed never to play monopoly with her again.

Some, not all, Palestinian detainees who had no trial have been released into Gaza. There is very little news coverage.
Much as the release of the Israeli hostages is great news, let's have some balance.

Smacking, the corporal punishment of children, should be banned by law, as it is in over sixty countries. There is no reasonable excuse for hitting a child.

Visited my grandchildren and had a silly dance with the seven year old standing on my feet. We perfected our waltz, and I asked if I could have the first dance at her wedding. 'No Grandpa, you'll be dead by then.' 🙃

I told Mary it must be the thoughts and memories that make the brain heavier. That's my excuse for putting on weight anyway! 🙂

In the car wirh my two Grandchildren. 'Grandpa, did you know the skin is the heaviest organ in the body?'
'Don't be silly,' said the five year old. 'It's the brain. That's why Grandpa is so fat.'

What use are your protestations? Who do they help or affect? Do they assist the Palestinians? Do they affect Israeli policy? Do they make British Jews feel less safe? Do they divert the police from more important duties?

While I broadly agree with your views on Gaza and the IDF, that has nothing to do with the majority of British born citizens who are also Jewish and have to hide the fact for fear of extreme racism.

Maybe, just maybe, you are lucky enough not to live your life in fear, having to hide who you are in public, for fear of racist thugs.

What did the Ryder Cup show us? The U.S. undoubtedly has the better golfers, yet lost once again. They are only a force when working as individuals; they have no sense of teamwork. The crowd sowed hate and division, not interested in golf enough to stay to the end. Also, no prize money!

U.S. players only stepped up when playing as individuals. All the team rounds won by the Europeans.

So here it is. Boris Johnson writes that he will not accept a digital ID card, ever. Does that mean that he can eventually be deported to the country of his birth, the USA? Will we be rid of the most dishonest charlatan ever to lead our nation? Oh, I do hope so! 🙃

In Britain, we have a democracy where the ruling party can be opposed by its own members. Are you jealous USA?

In America, immigrants ate cats and dogs, according to Trump. In Britain, they have more class, according to Farage, and eat swans instead. Who are the idiots listening to these morons?

He sees a mayor of Asian heritage and cannot stand that London has a lower crime rate than American cities.

The more I hear from Trump, the more I feel acute embarrassment that enough so called Americans could have voted for the lying charlatan. Shariah Law in London? What an ignorant, racist bigot he is.
