“Tel Aviv isn’t safe”. Imagine if all the borders were shut and Israelis were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. For 77 years.

My mum's uncle Edward, 11, drowned in the Thames in 1906. She knew it happened but didn't know his name, when, or anything. So I found him, and the man who tried to save him. Mr John Bannochie turned out to be SO GOOD. A printer and a printer’s son: grapplingwithhistory.com/other-writing/
