Fascinating broadcast and music. Liked Swedish chant. Thanks. Agnostic contact, sceptical on Church, really liked it. Encouraging! Hoping/praying your sad trip home to Scotland has positive dimensions.
I’m thankful for heaven’s gain David, but of course sorry for your loss. Hope the funeral is a great celebration of her life. Safe travels!
Condolences on you lost David.
I recently loss my Dad. It’s tough but praise the Lord that this world is not the end!
Why can’t the police let a couple of thousand football fans attend a game in Birmingham – https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/50374/documents/272467/default/ – looks like the truth was these were not fans – but racist thugs with a proven record of violence both at home and abroad – no other reason.
Except that is not the truth….the police consulted with community (ie. Muslim) groups and gave in to their threats. They then justified it with false information….https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15318165/West-Midlands-police-used-false-intelligence-ban-Maccabi-Tel-Aviv-fans-Villa-game.html
Did the police in Amsterdam and in Israel itself do the same prior to games in which these mindless thugs have been involved
