Picture of a rainy evening in a London garden, all around streetlamps, a bench and a carpet of dead leaven on a wet pavement.
The story is titled: 
-A tale of a silent hero- 
The rain never stopped since we got back and... It kept me thinking.
My daughter once asked if war would make her a hero or a coward.
I looked into her eyes and said:
- War is everywhere, no need to search for it... It starts in our mind first.
War is blood and bones of the utmost Ignorance.
A mere invention of the richest profiting from poor's people judgement.
It steals your soul and leaves you with nothing but ghosts.
A facet of a great lie... there never was a war, nor there were enemies... only land to steal and innocents to kill.
I tried to silence my guilt instead of that lie, but it kept coming back.
Taking a life makes you no hero, even less a honourable one.
I'll tell you what heroes do and you'll decide who cowards are.
Heroes walk a silent path, known to no one but them.
They are...
an unexpected whisper that shows you a new direction. 
a stranger who saves you from a house on fire.
a mother who shields her child, 
a nurse, a doctor who will do anything for you to see a new day, 
a consequence of a choice of taking a life or saving thousands.
In the end though, they will teach you how to be there for the next stranger.
I feel like I owe you an apology my dear, all this talking to you, when you already know all of that.
The caretaker in his drenched coat, asks me if the epitaph is right. 

"Heroes walk a silent path, known to no one but them".

– Yes, I said... that's my daughter... my silent hero.

These European prosecutions are going to get everything out. Andrew will spill the beans as soon as he thinks it will save his skin. And the files will be opened in a trial.
I think the Europeans realized that doing it this way is far better than leaking the files.

The British arrested a Royal, and we can’t even investigate a reality TV show host.

Our system is so busted.

This should be interesting.

Nigel Farage said Liz Truss’s budget was β€œthe best Conservative Budget since 1986”.

Robert Jenrick wanted the Tories to expel Liz Truss as a result of it.

Gary Lineker, "Jim Ratcliffe is a migrant himself, an economic migrant, he lives in Monaco"

"A lot of the immigrants contribute enormously, and the facts show you that, in terms of revenue, paying tax etc"

"Whereas Jim in Monaco, is doing everything he can to avoid paying tax"

This has to be the most bizarre tweet I’ve ever read! It’s like a fever dream of authoritarian horror. And I’ve battled Brexit for years and read many a lie, my favourite being about how Boris Johnson makes red buses from wine crates.

Mandelson proposed, and according to tax expert Dan Neidle, succeeded in executing an international tax dodge, with the help of Epstein, in order to fund the purchase of an otherwise unaffordable property.

The Kennedy Center has been in continuous operation for 55 years.

Trump and Ric Grenell destroyed it in one year by making it so toxic that nobody will perform there.

Now they have to shut it down like a Trump casino.

Liv Nervo speaks out against the man who tricked her into pregnancy Liv Nervo was six months pregnant when she discovered her partner had another family. When she tried to speak up, he spent years dragging her through the courts. We're helping her tell her story.

I've been working on this horrific story, about Matthew Pringle, the vastly wealthy businessman who tricked DJ Liv Nervo into carrying his child, and then sued her into the bargain, for several years. Very pleased finally to be able to share it with you.
