Thanks for your good wishes over my op. As you can see: I'm back and, fingers crossed, all is well. (No, it wasn't anything serious - I have arthritis and they had a fiddle with my shoulder and collar bone.)
I'll start posting properly again tomorrow. But meanwhile - and it's not often I say this about a BBC report on Israel - I urge you to have a look on iPlayer at last night's Panorama on the Gaza flotilla raid. It was remarkably fair, with proper scrutiny and proper balance.
