  • Denial

    Denial is but a shroud as she begins her life sentence I am unsure what that will mean How will her psychopathy be understood and managed

    She may be locked away but this is not the end of horror if anything it will be incumbent on state to attend to many who colluded with this evil

  • Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis

    I listen to thought for the day last thing before I go to sleep- and my favorite is Sir Mirvis. Every sentence has a deeper meaning. The warm, kind voice is like a comforting blanket, the message clear with hope for the world.

    Some sentences I write down. Pls come on air more often

  • I cannot forgive

    My mum died 21/12/2020 she went to hospital for one thing and ten days later she was tested positive for covid and died two days later I cannot forgive and it will take time to process this all. I am crushed by things related to this namely Conservative who take for granted the privileges they have been given I don’t believe the conservative will change until the day of voting which I pray will remove them

  • More from Rabbi Mervis please

    I am a Christian but I find the contributions from a Jewish perspective very wise, kind, thoughtful and comforting- five stars for this when he and his colleagues contribute. I find some of the Christian commentators not in the same league!
