Wishing Steve well and hoping he survives the family get-together. I once went on a road trip to avoid the family-gathering on Christmas Day, arranging to rock up around 1600 to my parents’ place … not sure it was ever forgiven by the wider family, never checked to find out.

Just before he was brutally murdered, Colonel Muammar Ghadaffi (sp?) said something along the lines of, “get rid of me and the floodgates of sub saharan immigrants will open”. Like so many dictators who have been swept aside in recent years he only cared for his own people. He kept his southern border tightly shut. Jobs in those oil fields were for Libyans, not Africans from the south. I was reminded of his statement when I saw this article. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10/05/libyan-national-army-offers-to-help-uk-with-migrant-crisis/
