I adore railways, stations and all that goes with them. Sadly, the fact is that they remain - and always were - for the better off. When I was little, we always used the bus. Now I am old and relatively rich, I use the railway whenever I can, but it is never cheap.

Alexander Bernstein. Changed his surname to Baron for publishing purposes.probably the best WW2 novelist. He was a secular Jew, but relished his heritage. Today, his London is a no go area, thanks to Muslim extremists.

Yet 'the authorities' still insist that 'right wing extremists' pose the greatest threat to our communities. Sorry, but you are lying. The evidence is overwhelming. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

I don’t know what others think, but I’m not remotely impressed by a defence hike to 2.5% by 2030. We’ve an army less than 70,000, can barely field a single brigade, have 2 x aircraft carriers that don’t work & not enough of anything to make Putin quake. Wake up! Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧
