Current Affairs and Politics The UK and Gaza (Edited)

Is anyone persuaded by David Lammy’s speech 10 days ago on the scenes of genocide live streamed into our homes every day for the last 20 months or do you think they’re insincere and hollow words in the face of public outrage and threats by International courts?

Romford Romford Market

I haven’t been there for quite a while. It was a thriving market in its day. Just wondered if it’s gone the way of many street markets with little variety.

In the light of Tommy Robinson’s latest conviction and if anyone is wondering where the funding is coming from then this Channel 4 documentary from the ‘Hope not Hate’ organization makes interesting viewing: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/oct/22/undercover-exposing-the-far-right-review-the-bravest-documentary-of-the-year-so-far

Heard this on the radio the other day. From 1967. Looking at the comments people are asking Would you go back to that era? Even for a short time. Would you? https://youtu.be/4JIq8Zn0AJE?feature=shared
