Anyone would think Labour had a majority of 2. We know the problem, we know the solution, but it might upset some people so we might lose some voters...

But we can't see these immigrants as actual people. That would mean divertimg my anger to those that have damaged society, and I am sorry, I am just not prepared to do that.

Some years ago I had that very same experience (different book though). I then ordered a steak and kidney pie and, as it arrived, Louis Armstrong's Wonderful World came quietly on the sound system.

It hasn't taken long to forget what infectious diseases can do. We see diseases as "a touch of flu" without being confronted by the horrors of Diphtheria or Whooping Cough.
Mind you, with RFK jnr in charge, the US will soon have a good idea.

Good for you. My house has solid brick walls that need to breathe otherwise they hold in damp. We have had to have changes done to the exterior render because it is cement and should never have been installed. Even the plaster should, ideally, be replaced with lime.
