Do ya reckon Dessie Tutu was always on the pints?
well if there's any evidence of it left, it'll be near impossible to find. I don't remember the exact detail, just a couple of ill-advised tweets by her that she stood by. No sign of anything like that on her feed there now.google 'Janice Long refugees' and the first thing that comes up is from the Liverpool Echo 2015:
I don't know what happened after?
With Love From Liverpool host says the city has risen to the refugee challenge
Broadcaster Janice Long will be hosting the concert with comedian John Bishopwww.liverpoolecho.co.uk
allegedly, I suppose.

Right yeah…
Desmond Tutu was the coolest priest in the world in the 80's. he always reminds me of my granny who thought he was ace. no one in Ireland comparable with him.
not sure what Ben M Freeman's problem is with him. Tutu wasn't keen on atheists or Marxists but I see Ben is gay and Tutu strongly supported gay rights.

I could have one guess - Ben supports Zionism
Yeah - thought so. Tutu was a big critic of Israel.
mostly Israel was openly an ally of apartheid era South Africa and had/has a very bad reputation in Africa.
the two countries not surprisingly don't have good relations since.
I read about the war in Angola, which was an appalling NATO - Warsaw pact proxy war between two politically quite similar factions but UNITA appealed to the west for support after the other faction the MPLA had appealed to the Eastern Bloc for military support.
South Africa (then ruling Namibia) was heavily involved with backing UNITA and Israel also backed UNITA.
in the late 80's the Cubans got huge concessions from South Africa in return for pulling out of the conflict which led to a deal that not only got the South Africans out of Angola but got Namibia independence.
after the leader of UNITA since the 60's was killed about 2002, the war which started in 1975 on independence, ended very quickly. a very similar proxy war happened at the same time in Mozambique with more South African involvement.

OBITUARY E.O. Wilson, naturalist dubbed a modern-day Darwin, dies at 92
E.O. Wilson, an American naturalist dubbed the modern day Darwin whose interest in ants led him to conclusions about human nature being directed by genetics rather than culture, died on Sunday at the age of 92, his foundation said.
The swipe at his work saying it smacked of eugenics is a bit harsh. Maybe I’ve missed something (not being alive when Sociobiology was published) but his work on behaviour is seminal.OBITUARY E.O. Wilson, naturalist dubbed a modern-day Darwin, dies at 92
