A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all contributors for trip to help Greek refugees


Gardenman

Recommended Posts

I have just returned from my very long journey to Thessalon?ki Greece to deliver the clothes & toys you so generously contributed for the refugees down there. The charity I was working for Drapen I Havet A drop in the ocean are under huge pressure given the very cold weather & horrific conditions in the camps. There are serious security problems due to attacks by other factions!! So their problems continue to gather as European governments plan to send their refugees back to Greece at a time the Greek people are suffering terribly themselves. So, please continue to do what you can to help the organisations & charities working out there no matter how small, including asking your MP what we are doing to help. I do not intend to be political, but to bring awareness to a situation that we have a chance to make a difference.

We will be making a donation each month & looking for further opportunities to help this year.


And don't think I'll let you off there. Your gardening tips will be on the forum as soon as I've recovered, to help you sleep at night & get your garden ready for spring. Happy New Year 😊

    • No denying that Labour's first year or so has disappointed those of us who wanted major change.  But this demonising of the man is just ridiculous.  There have been some good things, but drowned out by this insentient right wing driven media hatred.  The same right wing media that loves Johnson and FaaReg (I think I've at last hit on getting the pronounciation right). A good example today - John Crace reports: That done [reference to Trump] , Starmer could move on. Britain had offered its full support to the peace process. Had worked tirelessly behind the scenes, with no need of recognition. Because it was our job. Recognising a Palestinian state had allowed other Arab nations to condemn Hamas. And we knew a thing or two about decommissioning weapons from the Good Friday agreement. But it was going to be a long haul. (maybe a rosy look, but nice to see something positive) A positive view on our position in the world and a player on the peace deal (albeit too late for many in Gaza) Here's GB news: Suella Braverman says she is 'ashamed to be British' after Keir Starmer’s 'humiliation on world stage' HTF can Braverman lecture anyone? Mail: Will Keir Starmer EVER recover from his viral humiliation by Trump in front of world? PM's efforts to bask in Gaza peace deal spectacularly backfire And slightly earlier in the Times: Starmer ‘duped voters’ and five more claims in explosive new book.  In this case the left sharpening their knives - perhaps they could go back to Corbyn's time as Labour leader.
    • This is one of the most stupid arguments used by all the far-right war criminal supporters to justify the unjustifiable. I can only advise you to study what defines a genocide, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two. Perhaps, you should also read about the great (Jewish) scholars Omer Bartov and Amos Goldberg who both (among others prominent intellectuals) concluded that Israel was committing a genocide. At least, they can’t be accused of antisemitism, I suppose.
