It is literally their brief to forgive and forget.

As long as you're not gay. Or Catholic. Or black. Or a socialist.

In this case the church and those associated with it were witnesses for the prosecution. Exceptional I know. @PickAChew

Talking of abusive behaviour, both sexual and financially within a family that's head of religion, legal and parliamentary organisations, this piece carefully touches the sides.

Oooh, I miss those!

Anywhere nice?

Dd is graduating this year. Officially the ceremony is in November but all her work is handed in, just waiting for the confirmation of grade.

In other news, yesterday we had mosquito larvae, today they have been joined by a frog.

See that the Telegraph are also carrying a story about the 'scandal' of Burnhams wife appearing on Blind Date about 25 years ago before they were married

It’s actually quite a kind article. I’ll see if I can share it.

ˆI love to see a post-punk

That will scare a few MNers

Do a dive into how Burnham awarded a company in which his wife is in very senior management hundreds of millions of public money?

Is one of the comments. I saw it on FB too. The lie is getting a good airing.

There comes a point at which you can't do any more.

Even now, you can't have a simple discussion about Jean Charles de Menezes without the "fact" he was wearing a bulky jacket and vaulted the barriers being shouted over the truth as "proof" of something.

It's a "fact" that's up there with "Vienna" being a #1 hit.

The thing is we all knew that they would. It doesn't matter who becomes leader, they will find something to throw. Mud sticks, even if not true.

That's why the change of leader was stupid, but what's done is done. Instead of the mud that was thown at Starmer being old news in two years (a pair of glasses or £5m undeclared), anything thrown at the new leader will still be there.

Not really.
And in 29 degree heat.
I could weep.
We went to one last saturday and I actually felt quite ill by the end.

Oh 😞

It certainly makes you realise how hot the accommodation is.

It’s 29 in my north facing kitchen right now.

Can you change dates? Are they running them later in the year?

Is that true, that the 7million & 12million pounds tax they paid has put them in the top one hundred of amounts people have paid in tax, I can’t get my head around how they aren’t paying more no wonder the rich have become richer & poor become poorer what’s left of my fried braincells

Sorry posted to soon I’m truly baffled by it all.

Where I live (well next town 2 miles away!) was the hottest recorded place ever in the U.K. on Wednesday.

lasted 24 hours until somewhere beat us yesterday and somewhere else today!

Ask me is one of my favourite Smiths songs because as a teenager in the 70s, I preferred to spend warm summer days indoors. Never got round to writing letters to a buxum girl in Luxembourg.

Oh and if you're outside tonight please wear socks to avoid mosquito bites and horseflies are rampant in South Cheshire. No idea what to do about the latter but did get bitten once on my leg and had to have antibiotics. A very young 42 at that time.

"How Soon Is Now" is a generational masterpiece.

Temps have dropped from 33.4 to 31 with a solid breeze taking some heat away.

Sorry, can't let a misquoted Smiths lyric go uncorrected!

"Writing frightening verse/To a buck-tooth girl in Luxembourg"

Those were the days... 🇱🇺 🇪🇺

I stand corrected and thanks.

Also oscillate widely.

Edit because of predictive text

Santon Downham has set the a new provisional June temperature record of 37.3°C according to the Met Office

That's scary.

Respite for the next two weeks. I'm in London from Wednesday until the weekend next week.
