Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas – this can be a difficult time of year for some.

For those in the UK:
Did you know that if you text 07725 909090 when you are feeling really depressed, a crisis counsellor will text with you? Many people don’t like talking on the phone & find it difficult to open up to friends and family. Some people would be more comfortable texting. It’s a service run by Samaritans.

If there was ever a Christmas message then this is it. Homelessness can be fixed if there is a real political will to do it. A few bob extra per annum on income tax would more than cover much of it.
