BY SARAH GREENWOOD A response to ‘Labour wants to fully ban fox hunting’ as seen in the newspapers of late. Obviously, the Labour Party hasn’t learned any lessons from its recent history and appears hellbent on making the same mistake that Tony Blair made and came to regret. It appears only Blair regrets anything, because the current wannabe cabinet possesses what they say they don’t … Continue reading Labour’s Countryside Bunkum

BY SARAH GREENWOOD Within the last month in the rush to help Ukrainians, small vans and lorries organised in an ad hoc way by communities UK wide sent tons of food, clothing and other requirements for the emerging refugees in the Ukraine border countries. This appeared to eclipse the big charities that you associate with war zones, so I googled what the big charities do … Continue reading Small Charity Ops
