Looks like the North Cornwall beaches are now very different from when my family camped at Treyarnon in, if I recall, 1965. I would have been about 8 years old. Denis Healey also used to camp there with his wife and children in those days, though I do not believe I ever saw him. Imagine a Cabinet minister (he was Secretary of State for Defence) doing that now!
When I later (2002-2004) lived not so far away (having leased one of the largest country houses in Cornwall, about 4 miles north of Launceston), we only rarely visited the not-far-away North Cornwall beaches, and only in the colder months, when most are deserted.

Most of Africa was once under European control, and was better for it. All of Africa should be under European control.

Terrible. It will not always be like that, though.
Stalingrad, largely razed in 1942, recovered, was renamed Volgograd (1961) and is today a thriving city (as are the Japanese cities devastated in WW2— Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki etc): see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volgograd
The lesson? That life does, eventually, go on…
These are the people who sit in Whitehall and the Pentagon, and think that they could defeat Russia in three days, and cost-free.
The police, HMRC, and charity regulators really should be looking seriously into “Jack Monroe”.
As of today, 397 utter mugs are still sending her money every month, totalling thousands of pounds each month.
I have to admit, I rather like that blondinka. Hard-core.
Ha ha! Stupid loonie; totally brainwashed. She may be right though, in thinking (feeling) that she has no future…(I daresay that her —probably— affluent parents will bail her out, both literally and metaphorically).
“Jack Monroe” has pulled the old “suicide” trick quite a few times, and it always seems to co-incide with occasions when there is much scrutiny of her obvious “grifting” and outright fraud. The depressing thing is that many mugs fall for it every single time.
Odessa, not “Odesa”…
