For a brand new Tomorrow

Happy New Year everyone for tomorrow. It's been another tough year for us all with the ongoing tragedy in Gaza,  combined now with the very sad news to end  the year that the legendary John Pilger has died. He was so brave and focussed his life on telling the world what many, particularly British journalists have failed at. He told the truth.I thank him for shining a light on injustice in the world. He helped shape my outlook on the world with his reporting and documentaries. From Palestine to Iraq, Australia and the Chagos Islands, he did what journalism should do - question and expose. A man of true integrity. Rest in power.

Let's keep fighting for social  justice, a profoundly different future, where the human rights of all will be fully realized, a future of life and of decent lives for all.highlighting injustices done to those fleeing persecution and war and those living in the UK who are denied means to protect their health.

With no end in sight to the genocide in Gaza, it won't be a happy, joyful new year for me. As we approach 2024 there are thousands of innocent  people being massacred in front of our very eyes.  Instead of a countdown for a happy new year, let's countdown for a permanent ceasefire and an end of the occupation. 

Real transformative compassionate change is possible. There is no such thing as an ending, just a place where you leave the story. And it’s your story.Keep fighting for truth and integrity and  don’t let the bastards get you down. They can never ever beat you. Retain your  humanity and compassion.

The victims of war deserve our solidarity and support, whoever they are, and wherever they happen to be. We should not be fooled by the hypocritical statements of out political leaders. May 2024 be a year of  change for the better in love. peace and solidarity. ❤️

On the far side of revenge.
Believe that a farther shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
And cures and healing wells." - Seamus Heaney
