Wreath Laying at Battle of Britain Memorial in Capel
A short service of remembrance around the memorial in Capel-le-Ferne gave everyone an opportunity to recall lost friends and to thank the pilots of 70 years ago for their courage and sacrifice. Hundreds of names are written on the wall there to remind us all, of the task undertaken by these brave men.

Battle of Britain Memorial on The Leas
As the small group gathered and rightly proud men displayed their medals, the mood softened and our united thoughts centred on the task in hand. Flag bearers, worship leaders, ex-servicemen and women and supporters heard the Rev. Mark Hayton gather our thoughts in prayer and we turned our minds to the importance of the occasion.

Human Trafficking
I welcome the successful prosecution in Harrow Crown Court of four individuals for the trafficking of six British women. There are reports of around 218,000 people going missing in Britain every year and in my view for too long the police have focused on human trafficking into Britain, ignoring trafficking out of Britain. I have met and challenged the police office leading the investigation into human trafficking in the UK on exactly this point. His initial response was that once removed from the country the crime took place in another country and British police could not act. I pointed out that kidnapping was an offence in this country as was seeking to take women out of the country for sexual exploitation. While he acknowledged this was a known problem he was at a loss what the police could do in this country once someone had been taken out of the country.
