She is becoming a seasoned traveller like her grandad. The killing of MP David Amess was dreadful, more so as the suspected killer grew up a mile or so from me - I may have even passed him on the tram or in the streets. That's the third murder in as many months not far from me - the other two being Sarah Everard and Sabina Nessa. It's all very worrying.<br />ADDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018958238940897902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-54245001546518474262021-10-19T11:03:59.438+01:002021-10-19T11:03:59.438+01:00You are right.

For several years now, politicians - especially on a smaller, more local scale, such as the mayors of small towns, who sometimes do the job as unpaid volunteers - have been targeted by hate speech on social media, attacked verbally or physically at public events and generally their life made hell. They have been crying out for more protection, but so far, little has happened. Of course, as with almost everything in life, there is no easy, quick solution. A good politician wants to be approachable, but they (and their families) also want and need to be safe.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-77147039432818421952021-10-19T06:38:21.452+01:002021-10-19T06:38:21.452+01:00Did they wave to each other?Did they wave to each other?Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-33773268911479433812021-10-19T06:37:37.357+01:002021-10-19T06:37:37.357+01:00Your October certainly has.
