‘Til the end’. Stick with Regis Le Bris. We owe him our support.

Is Liz Truss just simply deluded? She sounds more and more like a fanatic trying to justify her political decisions. Quite simply, her decisions were appalling and created an almighty mess.

Mmmm… spoilt for choice. Plain Paracetemol, careless Codeine or mid-morning Morphine. Let the sun shine in….

So it was okay for African nations to trade in people within their own slave trade but it was not okay for Britain or other European countries to do so? Truth is, both were as bad as each other. Reparations are therefore a nonsense or they’ll be paying each other!

So Elon Musk’s SpaceX did impose restrictions on Kyiv’s Starlink. Who does he think he is? He has no right to determine the safety, or otherwise, of Ukrainian citizens.

Marcus Stewart has MND. What a lovely man! An absolute hero. Incidentally, he was also a great striker.

The Reform Party may wish to join Europe as it’s all of a right wing persuasion.

Children need confidence to hold their own in all kinds of situations. Building oral confidence, the ability to speak in public, the ability to articulate, to argue, and to discuss is crucial. Performing arts help youngsters to support one another and give confidence when needed.

Katie Zachariah, Trump’s press Secretary, is even more outrageous than her boss. She claims that eight out of ten women suffered miscarriages after the Covid vaccine and that the abortion pill, Mifepristone, has the same chemicals as were used in the Nazi extermination camps.

So Trump used footage of the young man in the tiger enclosure and said, ‘Don’t mess with nature.’ If ever you wanted a measure of the man, this is it. Thoughtless, heartless and totally lacking in humanity. He is a mess of nature, an abhorrence!

How can screens, as in interactive whiteboards, destroy oral skills when much of what is on the screens is designed to instigate thought, analysis and discussion?

‘Mother’s Pride’ - possibly the most cliched, predictable film I’ve ever seen. The script was pedestrian, the acting at best average, BUT I loved the it. Warm, sentimental, old-fashioned but a huge feel good factor that makes up for all of its flaws. Watch it!

To live stream an execution takes the USA to a new level of barbarism.

Zak Polanski’s car crash of an interview on radio 4’s Today programme will lead to him losing his position with the Green Party.
