Nora Quoirin. It's so horribly, horribly sad. I know that, unfortunately, these types of things happen all the time, which doesn't make this any less tragic of course, but hells bells this has upset me.

I was distressed enough already, looking at Boris. Not the most important thing, but he has an enormous pimple on his nose.

Interesting, and depressing, that it says "if we did it", rather than "if we succeeded". :'(

This week Donald Trump has described himself as the chosen one, the second coming of God (??) and the King of the Jews.

If that aneurysm doesn't burst soon, we are approaching end times.
