Do you all remember 6 year old Hind Rajab? The little girl who scared, alone and on the phone to a telephone dispatcher, whilst she was waiting to be rescued by The Palestine Red Crescent Society? Well IDF has now investigated itself & found itself innocent of her murder.

Dated 5/4/24, this edition of MacDonald Gill's London Underground map is what passengers would have been picking up in tube stations exactly a century ago.

2 women journey to the net and tackle stores in Hastings, East Sussex, in 1956. 📸

The unusually narrow structures were dictated by a restricted plot agreed upon in 1846, so the net shops were forced to grow upwards.

Today, the stores still stand in 12 rows on the beach. ⛵

One thing that is perhaps not discussed or remarked on as much as it could be is the way that some mainstream newspaper columnists have completely, utterly, lost any semblance of the plot.

I’m losing Twitter followers again! Every time this happens and I put the word out, some people find they’ve automatically been switched off from following me. Glitches or something more nefarious - who knows… Please RT to help lost people to re-follow. I know Carol Vorderman has…

Chris Patten has just murdered the party of which he was Chairman. It’s all in here - the bilge of Brexit, the worst foreign policy error ever made, and the insanity of the right wing cult’s grip on this once great political machine. Pure gold, spread it.

I didn't receive 15 years of notice that my taxes were going up to fund the retirements the WASPI generation failed to save for. My friends learned about 18 months in advance that going to university would cost them £9k a year rather than £3k.

I also don't recall ministers…

Dear BBC, it's unlikely that payments would be '£10,000 or more'. This would be Level 6 compensation, which is given for 'profound, devastating and irreversible effects on the person concerned', including life-changing injuries and avoidable death. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

21 March 1946. Timothy Dalton was born in Colwyn Bay, Wales. He’s best known as James Bond 007 in 2 films: The Living Daylights and License to Kill. Many movie critics thought he played Bond very much as depicted in the Ian Fleming novels.

The English drug smugglers that were arrested in West Cork during the week couldn't understand why we don't take sterling in our shops. This is a great story it reads like something from a carry-on movie.

On the night of the 13th of March 2017, four Irish Coast Guard Search and Rescue helicopter crew set out on a mission and they never came home. Take a moment to remember their courage and service and to remember their families and IRCG family.
