Just a quick update on the Trump and his team. The POTUS himself has only been seen playing golf since his opponent Joe Biden was declared winner. We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see if he actually does try to bring charges of illegal voting. People have also been wondering what has happened to the Vice President Mike Pense who hasn’t been seen anywhere, maybe he’s out on the green looking for Trumps balls. It’s been reported that both Melania and his son in law Jared have advised him to accept the election loss but it’s also been reported that Melania is supporting her husband regarding the illegal votes. Yet another report quoting a ‘friend’ says she can’t wait to get divorced as soon as his presidency is officially over. Believe what you will or believe nothing and make up your own story.
Remembrance Sunday was respected by people all over the country but in a very quiet and solitary way. At 11 am the royals, veterans and politicians laid wreaths at the cenotaph and elsewhere wreaths were laid at war memorials and families stood on their doorsteps to observe a two minutes silence. Wherever people were they stopped what they were doing to show respect during just two minutes. Not everyone remembered, in one Tesco superstore a customer continued to talk and was asked to be quiet by another shopper. She didn’t take kindly to this and a very noisy argument broke out in the egg aisle. Security rushed over to find eggs smashed over the floor. They’ll certainly remember that.
The priest who was shot as he closed the Greek Orthodox Church in Lyon, France last week was not targeted by a terrorist but by a jealous husband who says the victim was having an affair with his wife. The man was arrested and confessed to police, his wife was also arrested but I know not why. The priest was seriously injured but not killed.
It’s now sixty years since the trial too place against Penguin Books to decide if Lady Chatterley’s Lover was an obscene article under the ‘Obscene Publication Act 1959’. The book had already been around for a few years but they were private publications and few people had read it. In 1960 the unexpurgated edition was published and Penguin were taken to court in a test trial. One of the questions the prosecution asked witnesses and jury was ‘would you want your wife or servants to read this book?. Penguin won their case.
A teacher in Lancashire had had enough of teaching and decided to accept his father in law’s offer to start producing fruit infused gin. They had already made sloe gin for family and friends but branched out into other flavours and in a bigger way, Today they have a large distillery and have won awards for gin made at their Black Powder Gin Company based in Blackpool. Well done that man.😴💤😴
