Happy Solstice and Yule to all Aangirfan readers
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Season's Greetings to Brabantian!
And to all readers.
- Aangirfan
Pls DON'T shed blood, no more blood this Christmas, no more cows fish killing, and new year : go veggie/vegan/
And pls remember : social gap in uk seems to be one of the biggest in Europe. And England is so dependent from food imported from other countries :
scenario for disaster in the future months ?
Britain is very easy target for destabilisation.
From France, Alan. Greetings.
Dear Alan,
Season's Greetings.
