The film details the injustices that Arab soldiers suffered in the French Army even though many thousands of them fought and died for France in the Second World War. The producers believe there are strong parallels in the film to the plight of the many thousands of Gurkha veterans who fought and died for Britain over many decades.

The Year of the Boar
One of the many benefits of being part of a half Chinese household, apart from the excellent food, is that you get to celebrate New Year twice a year! So, I begin this month by wishing you Gong Xi Fa Cai (congratulations and be prosperous). Chinese New Year (which is also called Spring Festival) will be on the 18th February and it is going to be the Year of the Boar (Pig).

Shepway's Inconvenient Truth
I don't do film reviews very often, so I'll keep this one short. Having watched "An Inconvenient Truth" a couple of weeks ago, you have simply got to see it. if you haven't seen it, buy the DVD (from the Shepway Lib Dem shop is ideal, and makes us a few pence), from your nearest shop, borrow a copy. Whatever - watch this film.
