Well said, Kate. It is all very sad indeed.
The changes that have taken place in my lifetime are almost beyond belief.
I don't suppose there has been any period in history when there has been so much change.
I find it hurtful that so many of the changes are not for the better. Perhaps that's why I am considered to be a bigot.
Some people have strong views Aggers it does not mean they are bigots, any more than those who comment on the problems caused through hundreds and thousands of immigrants that have and are making us the minority in our own country.
Many of us with strong views particularly on the latter having devoted years in underdeveloped countries voluntarily caring for the abandoned neglected and the hungry. I have strong views on a great many subjects this does not make me a bigot, we are probably the first to place money in boxes to help.(much of which never gets to the needy) offer real help. No one protected Gay men more than I in many of the countries I was in, who were often beaten up, sometimes by thoughtless heartless Europeans, I knew maphrodites (spelt incorrectly?) tragic individuals.
One was the most beautiful individual pwho adopted a child who called him mummy. He found himself in a position where he could not support her, through our group of friends she was adopted by an American couple and must now be in her 40's.
The problem in this country is that unless we agree that all the changes taking place here officiated by idiots in government
and damnable EU we are shamed .
