As is often said we have the least worst system there is and I was amused to hear, on the radio someone asking what did they think our 'professional' politicians might be replaced with?

So walking through Whitehall I was slightly comforted to see that protesters were being vocal - one lot talking about
Chagossians - a group that had bypassed me up until now -seems they were a bunch of immigrants/indentured labour transported in British Empire days to Islands around Mauritius - the land they inhabited was then ceded to USA for military bases, they were moved on (to Mauritius or UK) and they've not been allowed to return or adequately compensated - hope they get justice!
The other protest I saw was un-surprisingly
protesting about Aleppo - not sure that the cure for this will be down to just money - seems that either interfering or not is still having terrible consequences for many civilians.

I was in town to see
