What is the world coming to? It’s such a shame that people can’t go about their everyday business without having to fear for their lives. I’m talking, of course, about the unestimable number of unexploded mines, rockets, motar shells, etc. that lie strewn around conflict zones across the world. Every year, according to the Mines Advisory Group (MAG), 20,000 people are either killed or injured, the overwhelming majority of which are civilians, including children.
I also just realised the other day that the date 7/7 marks the day I arrived in the UK in the year 2000.
