'At the end we preferred to travel all night,
Sleeping in snatches,
With the voices singing in our ears, saying
That this was all folly.'

@laithafarm A glimpse of the marvellous. Can’t stop looking & reading. You’ve made my day.

[Catriona Nicholson @catsmail]

@adelegeras Agreed!

@neilphilipmyth Ah. Of course…

If the UK Government are condemning the actions of the IDF, why are we still training their soldiers?

I recommend this video from the former US ambassador to Denmark to every US citizen. So that they know that the citizens of this country,which their US vice president referred to as a bad ally,were putting their lives on the line for the US in Afghanistan

@ClareDChambers @adelegeras Right in the middle and hugely enjoying!

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵

@neilphilipmyth I am so sorry to read this post Neil. I am glad though that you are of a mind to keep on keeping on with the writing. Warm wishes for continuing stability of health.

@adelegeras @KathLangrish From the moment it began I sensed tears in wait. So evocative of our youth. Went with three teenage grandchildren who also loved every minute.
