It took me (almost) 60 years to sit down with my Mum to ask her about my Dad. What a tragic story. Not just for him, but for the people his intolerable behaviour affected.

I’m glad the hostages are released, but: - Don’t fucking talk about how much weight they’ve lost when there are thousands of Palestinian children starved by Israel. - Remember, Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself and enriching himself. -
