    The granddaughter wanted to prepare the lunch roll for me this morning. So I got a surprise roll.
    I have ham, cheese, cucumber, salad, sweetcorn and onion rings on it. Strange combo but it's made with all of her love for me. 😍 And I like it anyway. 😋

  29. Amnesty conference in Exeter


    Well attended conference with a wide range of human rights issues discussed

    March 2026

    The Exeter group of Amnesty puts together a conference every year and those attending this year were able to listen to a range of speakers on some of the current problems with human rights around the world. Each topic will need its own space so we shall be putting up a range of posts over the coming week or so to give them justice. For now, this is just a brief summary as a kind of ‘taster’. All credit to the Exeter group for organising this event. Six members from the Salisbury group attended and all found it worthwhile.

    Tapestry

    The tapestry was on display after many years absence. It was displayed in Salisbury Cathedral several years ago.

    Malawi

    We do not hear enough from Africa although the war in Sudan occasionally makes the news. Malawi is one of a number of countries in Africa which have anti-gay legislation. Eric Sambisa spoke of his campaign and actions to get the law on LGBTQ+ legislation changed in his country. Those laws derive from colonial times and change is proving slow.

    Authoritarianism

    We had two speakers on authoritarianism, first in America and second in the UK. Trump and his supporters are carrying out a range of such measures and worryingly, UK governments are quietly following suit with more laws and increased police powers designed to reduce protests. The firm Palentir was raised more than once and they represent a serious risk to our personal security.

    Purchasing

    A forthcoming Amnesty campaign will focus on what we buy and the human rights stories behind our purchases. Much of what we buy comes from overseas and is produced in sweat shops in the far east where – mostly women – work in terrible conditions with few if any rights. There are no trade unions. The surprising, nay shocking thing, is that big name British retailers are involved, the likes of M&S, Tesco, Next and others. Firms who’s policies have the familiar words about human rights being our ‘first priority’. The supply chains are long and as you go down them the opportunities for abuse increases.

    There was discussion of Early Day Motion 1266 concerning banning goods coming from the illegal Israeli settlements. Unfortunately, there was insufficient time to discuss the large number of MPs, from all parties, who are members of the powerful Friends of Israel lobby groups. Their power means the motion is unlikely to succeed.

    Palestine

    The situation in Palestine was a topic as you might expect and we had a presentation from an academic at Exeter University. Part of the discussion focused on the prospects for a two state solution. There are none was the stark conclusion. Israel has systematically removed people and built settlements which make the creation of a viable Palestinian state impossible. Recent announcements of the creation of 19 new settlements cements this fact, referred to as ‘settler colonialism’. The speaker did focus on the Apartheid regime in place in Israel and the West Bank. Attacking that, much as happened in South Africa which saw that regime come to an end, was the way forward he said.

    Amnesty International

    There were some speakers who discussed issues surrounding Amnesty itself. In common with all charities at present and the drop in funding to the sector of £1.4bn in a year, Amnesty is having to reduce its expenditure. It has a new Chief Executive. It is facing ‘significant financial challenges’.

    The photo is the traditional picture where delegates assemble in front of the cathedral.

    Once again, thanks to the Exeter group for organising this excellent event.

  37. Exeterissä, Devonissa evakuoitiin eläinpuisto, vierailijat suljettiin latoon, mestoilla oli aseellistettuja vartijoita yms., koska kaksi karhua murtautui aitauksistaan.

    ...syömään hunajaa. Karhut olivat menneet puiston ruokavarastoon ja syöneet mielettömät määrät hunajaa.
