Great news about the boy soccer players.

I have been watching this story and praying for the kids. I am very happy. Regarding getting them out, these are tough Thai kids, they will view being drug thru the dark mud water with a harness and rope to follow to the surface in diving gear as a great rush. They will love it.

I really do hope that they gain something positive from this. To be dragged through the water in the dark would terrify me but I am sure that the boys will realise that the professionals, in whose safe hands they depend, will offer them the best possible chance of being reunited with their families.

As one newspaper highlighted yesterday, when it comes to an emergency the British are in the front line of international aid and rescue. Make you proud, at these moments, to be British - because we do care!
