I’ve not issued a ”Christmas message” - I can’t be doing with “thinking of those less fortunate than ourselves” only at Christmas. Instead I wish you all good rest & happiness & strength for positive politics to help fight injustice in 2018. #NadoligLlawen

As Jesus himself put it 2The poor are always with us" though he din't obviously add not just for Christmas.

 

The sight of Mrs Christmas message  praising volunteers who give up their time to ‘make someone else’s Christmas that little bit better’.  enrages me

How can she say 

 ‘As we celebrate the birth of Christ, let us celebrate all those selfless acts – and countless others – that epitomise the values we share.’

It is her policies that are making people sleep on the streets  and going to Food Banks (Food Banks in

To his credit Jeremy Corbyn highlighted the plight of those who were ‘cut off and lonely’ or in war-torn countries such as Yemen and Syria.

He said:

 ‘It’s a time of the year when we think about others, like those who have no home to call their own or who are sleeping rough.’

But as Leanne indicated Politicians should be thinking about the above every day.

But lets  not get to gloomy the message of "Peace on earth and goodwill to all men" is a valid if you are a Christian, Muslim , Hindu , or any religion  and even those like myself who have none.

Have a great Christmas but let the Christmas message be that we seek a time when we have no need to think of the less fortunate than ourselves, and we end War and Poverty throughout the World.
