| Piece on BBC Breakfast this morning about some of the original people who came here on the Kindertransport and who have just retraced their journey. Discussing this with my eldest son and wondered how we went from being that country that took almost 10,000 refugees, to the nasty, inward looking small minded tossers, being led by the likes of Johnson and quite possibly Farage and who allow the like of 'Tommy Robinson' to spread his hate and bile. Have we learned nothing? It's enough to make you weep. What with that and the prospect of our next P.M. toadying to Trump - what have we become? From Mark Steel in today's 'i'; "Forty two per cent of Conservative members believe 'having people from a wide variety of racial and cultural backgrounds has damaged British society'. This will be why Conservative members idolise politicians prepared to protect the kind of British life a common person can relate to, such as wearing a monocle, reciting morning prayers in Latin, and having 19 kids they never see until they've left Eton, giving them names like Septicaemia". |
