Ukraine – which way will it go? And where’s the ladder?

We hear that Europe is living in perhaps the most dangerous of times, certainly since the end of the Cold War and maybe even longer, since the Second World War. And why have we reached this extraordinary moment, when we think that there might be a dangerous conflict involving a

An update – the Sue Gray report

Well, it wasn’t that bad, the report. I’ve read it and will give you the link as it’s an easy read of only 12 pages, two of which are blank. She doesn’t (can’t)  give the details but even so she’s pretty damning. Hell, yes. See the quotes below. So it

A tragedy – but what can be done?

I had a lovely holiday in Dungeness, it’s a bleak mostly unspoilt spit of land made up mainly from pebbles.  I found it beautiful but it’s a harsh environment and the shifting tides bring more and more stones and pebbles to the beach, so much so that apparently old Dungeness
