My favourite quote from a recipient of the new years honours.
Holocaust survivors Mindu Hornick, 90, and John Paul Hajdu, 82, are also both honoured with MBEs for their work in education and commemoration. Describing the award as “an absolute surprise”, Ms Hornick said: “With everything that is going on in the world today – with Islamophobia, antisemitism and other unacceptable things that are happening – I think it is important to educate young people.” Well said Ms Hornick! ! Bless you. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a9261696.html

Don't you have any opinions of your own? What makes you think Islamophobia is prevalent?

Indeed I do - my opinion is that Islamophobia is currently not a big problem, as there's no reason to think it is If you disagree, I'm sure there are events and other reasons for you to think so?

1380 fatalities and injuries caused by electrical fires in the UK every year. Average of 27 a week and 4 a day. that is a problem worth worrying about imo |

They clearly say in the quote "in the world today".
Basically illustrating how important education is to stamp out ignorance. |

When she's making a specific point about hatred and bigotry... you know being a holocaust survivor I imagine her work focuses heavily on those issues.

Oliver's back with his rose tinted world view where hatred, bigotry, homophobia, racism etc don't exist because his neighbour's black and drives a nice car. Lovely.

Kizzy seems to take things at face value, and just assume these problems exist with no real reasoning. Last edited by Oliver_W; 28-12-2019 at 05:16 PM. |

My posting these comments from this wise old person appears to be making some people very uncomfortable. .. I can't think why.

Apparently they were gonna recognised the 4 men who were heroes during the latest terrorist attack but thought it was too soon.
They are also refusing to recognise people who helped during grenfell until the enquiry is over

As for Grenfell, whose ever fault it was doesn't affect the heroism of those who helped. |

It's better to wait for the conclusion and then everyone who deserves to can be honoured together rather than some being left off one year due the ongoing enquiry.
