This is like X! Of course I condemn Trump and I expect a statement criticising Trump. Will criticise if none appears. Just saying it might be a more complex process when a government deals with this than a party in opposition.

So many memories - I don’t miss turkey whatever happened to trifles?
I hope you enjoy having Christmas dinner made for you by your son.

I can remember the feeling as my hand pushed its way to the bottom of the full packet, crushing cereal along the way.
I probably should have told my children to wait until we got to the bottom of the packet but they have turned out to be good citizens!

Yes, I have loved the videos and memories. They provided triggers which helped me remember my children’s early years and childhood, quite moving at times.

I am always moved and impressed by the responses of our emergency services to such horrible incidents. Please give them a mention - their jobs are extraordinarily stressful. Even everyday policing is full of danger and uncertainty.
