Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2025
I enjoyed your poem about the Glastonbury festival. Have you actually been to it this year? or have you been watching on TV or You Tube?
It reminds me of when I went in 1987, although my feelings and memories were not quite the same as...

Sometimes it just seems right
Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2025
Sometimes it just seems right, and enjoyable, to have a good conversation with a stranger. It often happens when you least expect it. We realise what some of us have in common, and we can give friendship and sympathy to each other! I enjoyed...

It is so sad that the Nazi's holocaust has led to a not the same but partly similar, in its disregard for 'the enemies' lives'. You would have thought that a greater sense of justice would have been the result, but instead we have tribalism among...

And PS; Keir Don't bother making any deals with Trump. Such a deal would be bound not to be to Britain's advantage, so don't waste much time talking to him! You have got more important things to do!

Posted on Sun, 19 Jan 2025
Alfred says thankyou! He hopes he can count on you for the decisive vote, when the time comes, which he feels will be quite soon, as every time Keir does something he seems to lose votes! Even the farmers have deserted the Clumsy Party! But he...
