War is always cruel, but blowing up a school full of young children is utterly appalling www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

It is not, in fact, doctors’ job to get their patients to work; it is their job to care for them.

£10 million isn’t nearly enough

Good to see the principle that no one is above the law is being upheld in the UK, but take note of the fact that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has not been arrested because of the harm he may have done to girls, but because of the harm he may have done to profits

Aww lovely story

Hope you’re ok

Some girls are born without wombs. They grow up to be women

Oh that poor man, he suffered so much. I’d be interested in the film, but it must be harrowing

My mosaic table top, completed today. I bought the central star in Uzbekistan and it will always remind me of the trip
