- On Phones: I was with Initiatives of Change at the weekend and was amazed how the MOBILE phone had taken over. A friend said at meal times they had to leave their mobiles in another room, so they could eat together.
- On Women's rights: It is difficult at this time and working in the Middle East for women to have the same rights as some men. I was listening to someone on Radio 4 this morning who was writing songs and she felt that the music business was totally man driven and that people took no notice of what women thought. The ladies who became Suffragettes laid down their lives to get the vote.
- On Organophosphates: Andy Burnham MP was looking into the effects Organophosphates have on any one who has sheep dipped. He was the only person that highlighted this problem which effected a small but unheard section of the farming population. There are many that have taken their own lives because of how it had effected their lives.
- On FMG: How FGM had been such a pivotal action in the being of so many families here and the middle east. It needs to outlawed world wide. I even met someone in London who was saying this last week!
Lets hope that for most it is
A Happy New Year ! ! !
