A Time of Mourning
Sir David Anthony Andrew Amess
26 March 1952 – 15 October 2021
The life of MP Amess was lawlessly taken while
holding a constituency meeting.
"He has supported all of the Catholic clergy in our area for many, many years. Not just us of the denominations but people of all religions.
He has been a great, great friend and is an old-school
parliamentarian. ... He actually listens to people, sits
down with them and he's paid the price for
it today. He's paid the price for being
that open and generous with his time."
Quote, Rev. Jeff Woolnough,
St. Peter's Parish in Leigh-on-Sea
The lawlessness of violence yet not silenced!

"Crime Against Humanity!"

NATO Secretary General's Statement on Afghanistan
13 August 2021
Our aim remains to support the Afghan government and security forces as much as possible. The security of our personnel is paramount. NATO will maintain our diplomatic presence in Kabul, and continue to adjust as necessary.
NATO Allies are deeply concerned about the high levels of violence caused by the Taliban’s offensive, including attacks on civilians, targeted killings, and reports of other serious human rights abuses. The Taliban need to understand that they will not be recognised by the international community if they take the country by force. We remain committed to supporting a political solution to the conflict.
