@adavies4 @Channel4News I was 5 years old when this happened. The only time ever I saw my father cry. At that time we lived about 25 miles way.
The memory still haunts me.

On Friday 21st October 1966 one of the 116 children killed in the Aberfan disaster was a nine-year-old boy called Paul Jones.

When his body was recovered, they found a small wallet in his back pocket…

@ambergambler_ I always put some Stilton in with the beef on a Sunday. My father in law loves it. Sliced or fine green beans with butter on. I also season the beef with salt , pepper and mustard. Gets me major brownie points lol.

@benonwine Yes.

@DuffWalter @benonwine He is 11 yrs my junior and when I left junior school in 1972 there was NO 11 plus.
You’re quite right , he lied. Rather, his speech writer did.

@benonwine I think they better start looking for alternative work.

@benonwine I’m Welsh. So nothing really , other than I speak English as my mother tongue. History made it that way.

@EstherMcVey1 This Labour Party is a disgrace to its origins and totally hypocritical. I’m speaking as a longstanding Union member for help in work when needed. As a result of recent events I am considering resigning my membership. I don’t want to be associated with Labour in any way

@ThatAlexWoman I wonder if things will change WHEN conscription happens ? 🤔

@sharrond62 So sorry to hear of your dad’s plight. A close friend of ours had gallbladder issues and had a very similar experience. As you so quite rightly said , the NHS as good as it is , is broken. I sincerely hope he’ll be home soon. Thank him for his service. ❤️

@bmstewart2004 I cancelled ours last week. Price dropped from
£94 to £18 after a deliberation via Watsapp. Last year it was about £60. Apparently rising to £94 was a reward for being a loyal customer. 🤔

@Wondersofworld0 No! Absolutely not. It’s not like they’re being force fed pork.

@DonnaLouise1212 I know it can be difficult to “remove” migrants but surely if allowed to remain it should be one strike , one offence and they’re returned. Immediate deportation regardless. That’s a bit of a deterrent at least.

@benonwine At least HM The King know where is country is and will be where HIS people are.
There are lunatics in the US with guns. Just saying
