Peace, Gaza and Hamas (October 21, 2023)

Deborah Ross was understandably 'floored' by the open letter from Artists for Palestine UK which bizarrely failed to mention Hamas, its barbarity and the slaughter of innocent civilians in Israel which provoked the latest crisis in Gaza.

"The fact is, there was no mention of Hamas. There was no mention of the rape, torture, kidnapping and murder of babies, children, grandparents, young people dancing peacefully at a peace festival."

Hamas 'freedom fighters' decided to murder an 80-year old Jewish grandmother (Carmela) and her granddaughter (Noya) in cold blood - before setting fire to their bodies.

A final insult to their families and the Israeli people.

Now I'm all in favour of peace and a two-state solution, but how do you negotiate peace with people who behave this like and with the medieval mindset that is Hamas?

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

Barber Shop Joke

Here's a joke someone sent me recently - which hits the nail right on the head when it comes to Westminster MPs. Now I know there are many honourable exceptions when it comes to MPs and their expenses - not all of them had their noses in the trough. But while only a handful ended up in court - the truth is many more were happily exploiting 'rules' which were drawn up to protect public money. Only for MPs to drive a coach and horses through the rules on a regular basis - making a complete mockery of the 'golden' rule - that expenses could only be claimed for things that helped MPs do their jobs effectively.  Like dog food - or getting someone to launder your shirts and pants.    And that's not all - because the House of Commons allows many bad practices to continue - by turning a blind eye to things that would be outlawed in any other walk of life. Such as MPs moonlighting from their day jobs on a regular basis - to the public purse subsidising their

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P
