EVENTS AND OTHER THINGS.......

I''m not blogging much at the moment. Largely because I am embroiled in the utterly selfish business of trying to seek gainful employment and it tends to take priority.
Tonight, some conversations with people re the Iraq inquiry which at least is going to be more transparent than originally envisaged. It remains to be seen what that will mean.
In a month which has been one of the bloodiest yet in Afghanistan, we can only hope that serious questions will be asked. And that they will be answered.
This dismal summer is not one exactly designed to re-charge the batteries but those of you in shouting distance might want to take part in or support the LRC cricket match on Saturday which looks sadly likely to suffer from the deluge we've had in West Yorkshire solidly over the past couple of weeks. It's raising funds for HOPI - Hands Off The People Of Iran.- and even if washed out there's a fund-raiser in the evening. See the new, improved website for details.
Back home, we have a fund-raiser Quiz Night next Thursday August 6 for my local Branch Labour Party at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge. There will be a nuclear hot turkey curry ( made by me) and sundry other dishes to enjoy .
