As a father, I cannot imagine the pain and distress.... Jeanette Keane was at the nearby grammar school when word started to spread something had happened at the junior school and children had died. She went running home but her parents weren't there, with her dad digging, looking for survivors. "He found my sister Edwina and she was alive but he couldn't get her out because the roof would have fallen in," she said. "My father laid by her side, held her hand and she suffocated." #Aberfan60

Introducing @JohnHealey_MP and his new Disinheritance Tax. What a desperate, money-grabbing bastard. This government needs to be removed.

@JamesMelvilleOct 19
Chancellor John Healey is considering introducing an income tax on parents who pass their business down to their children. Yet again, the Labour government are hell-bent on punishing family businesses. This isn’t a growth strategy. It’s a vindictive wrecking ball strategy.

I will be in Aberfan from Tuesday to mark the 60th anniversary of the worst man-made disaster in our history. 116 precious children lost their lives and many teachers who tried to protect them from the black avalanche were killed. My family lived 20 miles away; childhood changed that day. If you have memories to share I’ll buy you a coffee or a drink. Or just have a chat. Allison x
