Loves the fells, sea, books, and chocolate though not necessarily in that order. Easily bored. Last in the queue for patience

Wait, what?
The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

It is shocking that people have been pushed to take such serious action just to be heard.
These events did not happen by accident. They are the result of the government misusing anti-terror laws.

A mini-story to cheer you up this morning. The other day my teenage son returned to his locked bike to find the back wheel nicked. We went back yesterday to rescue it - and found this note taped to the frame. We have the wheel again. A very happy Xmas to Ollie and his note-writing other half.
