Call the Midwife should be required viewing in schools. It is both a medical lesson, history lesson, relationship lesson and shows how difficult life can be. It also shows how the human spirit can overcome so many obstacles. #callthemidwife

This evening marks the 42nd anniversary of the Penlee Lifeboat Disaster. The lifeboat, Solomon Browne, went to the aid of the vessel Union Star after its engines failed in treacherously heavy seas.

"No Fly Zones" a thread:
The term 'No Fly Zone' (NFZ) is being completely mis-used re. Ukraine.
A true NFZ is established to deny an opposing force the use of its air assets. We did this (or tried to) in Iraq & Bosnia in the 90s. Some fast air was engaged, though helicopters

If you have never been personally involved, you have no concept of the fear, concern, horror & downright despair of families with loved ones in Kabul watching events unfold on TV.
Please bear this in mind when Tweeting.
My heartfelt prayers go out to all touched by this tragedy.
