Morning
A few chuckles before this --
" Edi continued. Surely now was the time to celebrate the 100,000 Albanians who had legally settled in the UK and who paid their taxes and had integrated into society. Keir smiled less gratefully. A successful immigration story was not on the government’s news grid. He was in Albania to talk about Britain’s squalid history of immigration in the last 14 years. The incalculable damage that foreigners had done to the country. Having to be nice wasn’t part of the script. He headed off to lunch. You win some, you lose some. Perhaps no one had been watching. "

Keir was supposed to be here for a deal on an asylum returns hub but his towering host had a surprise in store ...

A friend gave me this years ago , at long last going to read it . It begins with the Grenfell survivors being neglected, just as their warnings were before the Fire --

Mrs Sonny has asked how you are getting on, shoulders-wise?
She was always kind-hearted!

I'm not getting pain anymore (providing I don't move them 'wrong') and I'm slowly getting more range of movement. Got a check up at the hospital next month.notnowsonny wrote: Fri May 16, 2025 9:39 amMrs Sonny has asked how you are getting on, shoulders-wise?

Good news then! Or at least much better than it might have been.

Kemi and the Welsh 'MSP's' , loved it !
Well they are certainly from outside London whichever tribe they belong to, dammit !
Friday evening trip to get farm bread pork sausages and 'saucisson' ...
from a distance I thought at first it was a very much modded 2CV, but closer up a very strange animal, from 1938 !
