    A wealthy lady’s view of children in care in the 1960s- “I had always imagined they were horrid, vicious young hooligans who set fire to their own homes, strangled their baby sisters or attempted to murder their parents and that was why they had landed where they were and richly deserved it. It was quite an eye-opener, therefore, when I gradually began to piece together the tragic histories of some of the children who were put into care through no fault of their own.” She became a benefactor.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd6w15vgp7lo the BBC chooses to highlight Australia in eliminating cervical cancer but vaccination rates are higher in Scotland. Scotland is closer to eliminating cervical cancer than practically any country in the world. But the BBC’s default position is: Scotland’s shite living in Scotland is shite and being Scottish is shite. “nothing good ever happens in Scotland” Here’s an impartial report: https://globalhealthnow.org/2025-04/scotlands-mission-banish...

    Pre 1948 Palestine was part of the British Empire and Palestinians held British passports. The British authorities held property records for the country. But the Balfour declaration released large numbers of immigrants and seems to have removed all the citizenship and property rights of the local inhabitants. It seems to me that Britain has more responsibility than any other country towards the appalling conditions in which Palestinians now find themselves. Why are we doing nothing?
