Second quote of the day for 5th June 2024

Let us put aside our differences in this country and remember what is going on in the rest of the world, and remember the innocent victims of the wars which are going on, particularly the children.

President Zelenskyy posted this yesterday.

"Russian terrorists have robbed an entire generation of Ukrainian children of a normal life and shattered their trust in adults. Many little Ukrainians will never grow up because they were killed in Russian attacks. 

Thousands have been kidnapped, transferred from Ukraine to Russia, and scattered among strangers. Most of them are unable to contact their families. The way Russia treats Ukraine and its people is a deliberate and calculated genocide.   

On June 4, we come together to remember the innocent children who have been victims of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Violence against them is the most heinous crime. Russia will never be forgiven."

Pat Graham RIP

I was very sorry to learn that Pat Graham, the last Chief Executive of Copeland Borough Council, died this morning. She was a consummate professional and widely respected by the vast majority of councillors and staff members she dealt with. Trudy Harrison MP, the local member of parliament, who knew Pat Graham very well, having worked with her when they were both at Copeland Council, wrote this moving tribute to Pat: "Pat was the best ambassador for us women to look up to, I learned from Pat that motherhood and forging a professional career can go together.  A tragic day for West Cumbria and all who knew her, I can’t begin to comprehend what her family are now going through.  I hope we can keep the project flames burning brightly on those she sparked and really cared about." Very many condolences to her family. Rest in Peace.

This was the first time such a hustings has been organised by the Hindu community. It was well attended by local residents. There ere a lot of questions to the candidates present all of which were polite, respectful, and friendly, and the event was a credit to the organisers and the community. Hindus for Democracy have prepared an excellent manifesto addressing issues affecting the Hindu Community, which you can find at the link below: Hindus for Democracy - - United Kingdom This contains a whole series of very reasonable and sensible proposals and as I promised at the hustings I am happy to endorse it. So have a substantial number of other Conservative candidates and candidates from other mainstream parties. In particular, if elected I promise to work against all forms of hatred and discrimination, including anti-Hindu pr
