Starmer is perversely determined that Israeli football fans will attend their team's match in Birmingham, even though the area is now 70% Muslim and mini-Israel-Gaza violence is a serious danger, says Laurie Wastell.

offsite link Windless Week Leaves Britain Totally Dependent on Imported Electricity Tue Oct 21, 2025 07:00 | Paul Homewood
A windless week exposes that the UK is now totally dependent on importing electricity at times of stress. This is hardly the 'energy security' that Ed Miliband continually warbles on about, says Paul Homewood.

offsite link Samuel Williams vs Lucy Connolly Mon Oct 20, 2025 19:00 | Nick Rendell
Will Samuel Williams be charged after calling for 'Zionists' to be killed? It depends whether the law deems 'Zionists' to be a racial group, says Nick Rendell ? as it did with 'migrants' in the Lucy Connolly case.

These sounds concentrate on the voices and rhythms of Africa. Male African voices can be heard sweetly singing and chanting throughout this recording. In addition to marimbas, kalimbas, and additional percussion instruments, the music is a deliciously exotic flavour. The drumming, as you may image, is superb. The voices ring out joyfully, giving this already exciting music an uplifting aura of celebration.

I'm looking for Carlos Chalacan from Ecuador. He's playing with his group "Sacha Runa." I met him in Terneuzen. He was making music at a school, there was a party. I still have his chain/necklace (what's the right word) and his poster. He also sent me a postcard, written in Dutch.
Carlos I hope your will read this, can you please contact me?
