15 May 2024 This is not about mothers, not about Mothers Day as it is celebrated which began in the US and which was protested as it got commercialised by its very progenitor…We know those bromides about motherhood, but I use Mothers Day as a kind of candle to hold up to the West, which […]
28 April 2024 When American Congress voted to allocate a further 61Billion $ US to Ukraine for this year, the aid came along with a 17 Billion $ US for Israel.
