Hi John on the Sunset Coast,
1 - she has had a long battle, but her recovery has been a good one. Thank you.
2 - I think the point she made is a valid one for the reasons I've said. It isn't a deliberate conflation to say that the government's first priority should be the welfare of its citizens, not financing foreign wars.
3 - that may be - I was only judging by what I've read in this thread.
4 - thanks for the clarification. I was disappointed to find, reading his biography, that David's politics have moved so far right of centre (but I suspect he'd be similarly disappointed that mine have moved so far left). He was a sweet, funny boy and a good friend. And his mother did make a great goat's cheese sandwich (which seemed very cosmopolitan to me at the age of 16!)
