As someone a number of whose relatives were also wiped out in the camps, I agree with your thoughts. I am currently in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, visiting the Death Railway and the Bridge on the River Kwai.

Walking around the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery and the Death Railway Museum has enabled me to reset my priorities of life and my opinions on what is and what is not important. Those young people in the cemetery did not have that opportunity.

Tweets are not important and people using social media need to develop some backbone.

The police need to return to keeping people safe and preventing and detecting crime, especially the ordinary stuff that affects many peoples’ lives, not the esoteric things that no one really cares about. If the public see this happening, they will fall back in love with the police, who will be supported rather than being attacked and abused.

It’s not rocket science and time senior officers realised it.

Welcome back Dom. I’m a man of my word, so I’ve put you down for that less than eight. If you promise to stay around, I can offer you any of the bank holidays you want over the Xmas and New Year period…
