Afghans were turning up here well before 9/11; back then they were fleeing the taliban and not looking for free housing and a life of welfare payments, oh no.

A former head of the British Army, Sir Mike Skinner, said that the living conditions of many people serving in the military were “shameful” .
So the government want to bring democracy and a more stable life to Afghanistan and Afghan refugees but incredibly allow their own to live in shitholes.
New Labour? The New Titanic that needs to be sunk.

I’ve had a better idea; I shall march up to the ticket place and assert that I’m with you.

An invisible Pigeon friend should convince them that I’m a bona fide member of the musical glitterati, and should be let in before the Pigeon takes punitive action…

I’ve noticed that as well!

I’m off to an organ recital tonight, given by a family friend, and I am pondering whether I could face the embarrassment of the unwaged entrance fee…

One of my pet hates is the misuse of the word ‘Personality’. We’ve all got one!

oh yes, work is the curse of the drinking classes, sorry, thinking classes.

Far better to meditate on the scenery than hack your way on and off commuter trains, but that doesn’t pay the bills…

i’m ok in the morning. I’m quite happy sitting there with a cuppa and a roll watching the lovely thrushes and blackbirds in the garden eating all the worms off the lawn and watching the sun rise best part of the day until I suddenly realise I’ve got work..

Actually, I feel like that about everybody in the morning, so I can and do sympathise…

And the fact that as a ‘television personality’ she may see acres of publicity coming her way.

Presumably television personalities have personalities different to the rest of us…

Part of the problem in turning away Afghan refugees is that they became refugees because of a war we, and our allies, chose to fight in their country.

Life would be so much simpler if we did not have that element of responsibility…
