It beggars belief that the British government, a close strategic ally of Israel, has announced a partial suspension of arms licences, at a time when Israel is fighting a war for its very survival on seven fronts forced upon it on the 7th October, and at the very moment when six hostages murdered in cold blood by cruel terrorists were being buried by their families. As Israel faces down the threat of Iran and its proxies, not just to its own people, but to all of us in the democratic west; this announcement feeds the falsehood that Israel is in breach of International Humanitarian Law, when in fact it is going to extraordinary lengths to uphold it. Sadly, this announcement will serve to encourage our shared enemies. It will not help to secure the release of the remaining 101 hostages, nor contribute to the peaceful future we wish and pray for, for all people in the region and beyond.
Britain and Israel have so much to gain by standing together against our common enemies for the sake of a safer world. Surely that must be the way forward.
@British_Airways trying in vain to check in for BA179 Sun 5 March-says “Covid docs have been uploaded successfully” on one page, next page says “You must upload your Covid docs”. Been going on for at least five weeks. Totally frustrating. Only flying AA now till you fix this.
@pcavlin This happens all the time now and drives me insane. (Not helped by flight attendants asking you to lower the shades so people can watch a movie or whatever. (I never comply). People of all ages are brain dead and have no interest in seeing the beauty of the universe.

At the risk of sounding waspish, wouldn’t you say that hanging, drawing and quartering would be far too lenient a punishment for the first person who ever thought of pairing gazpacho, or indeed any soup, with melon?
