Speaking out

I can't not say anything anymore. Sorry peeps, I try to keep my blog neutral, and write only about Nice Things. There have to be little corners of Niceness somewhere. But there are Terrible Things happening on the other side of the world and I for one feel ashamed to be British at the moment. I listen with growing outrage to the news every day, hearing more atrocities being commited and find it hard to resolve my lovely and relatively priviliged life with the terror which is occurring in Lebanon. A terrible bed is being made and one day we will have to lay down on it. I'm not taking sides, (much) and I don't have enough knowledge to argue politically. I just wanted it down, for the record, that I think what we and the US are letting happen to Lebanon is barbaric. I, as a blogger, say this. And I am not alone - thank you to Daisy for giving me the kick up the butt I needed to voice out about this. And to Mrs Stagg for confirming that sometimes you've got to say something, even if it is a mere squeak in the vastness of the Web. Maybe if enough of us squeak, it will turn into a roar.

Oh ok, something nice then...as it's the weekend.
