I strongly believe schools should bring children together rather than try to impose one religious identity on them. If you agree - please add your name and call on the Education Secretary to introduce inclusive assemblies for all, and to keep dangerous Christian Nationalism OUT of our schools.

I came close so close to breaking the law today. Some idiot parcel delivery person had parked his van blocking a cycle path. The idiot had left the van unlocked, with the key in the ignition. I was so tempted to "move" his van. Had I been a criminal, I would have taken his van, and all its parcels.

This Fairford thing should get more amusing by the hour, except that it doesn't because of the people of Whelfod. Not only do they have to put up with the noise of the yank bombers, but they now have to ask a policeman for permission to go to their own home. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One of the five men arrested near RAF Fairford called 999 himself
He made the call almost an hour before a farmer also called police after seeing men in balaclavas.

"A quantity of petrol but no explosive devices were found during searches of the three vans near RAF Fairford in the west of England, counter-terror police have said." OK, vans tend to be diesel, but "a quantity of petrol" is very vague. 10 gallons would be strange, a 1 gallon can - no.

I'm finding the whole Fairford "terrorist" thing quite surreal as I have a few bits of furniture that came from a house in Whelford, centre of what did or didn't happen! For 10 years I worked less than 4 miles away from the site, and these days I'm only 10 miles away. It's all very strange.

I don't know why this amuses me, but Daniel Thomas, alleged boat stabber, has be refused bail, meanwhile those arrested near Fairford on suspicion of trying to do a Guy Fawkes have been freed, much to the ire of Donald Trump. 😂 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump is talking nonsense again. He says that he wouldn't have released the 5 that were arrested near Fairford. Well, Donny, this is the UK and we are subject to he European Convention on Human rights. We can't lock someone up without good cause. www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/2658921...

"RAF Fairford suspects to be released on bail, head of counter-terror police says", so I'm guessing they weren't terrorists, and that there were no bombs.

I wonder what the Home Sec means by "'unacceptable' migrant landings". I suspect that she means that it's unacceptable that a migrant boat was not intercepted before attempting a dangerous beach landing rather than that they made it all the way across the channel. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An unsettling 7am start. Lying in bed, I think I hear someone knock the door twice. It's a bit early, but I'm expecting a delivery. Within 2-3 minutes I was opening my front door - nothing. A quick look around, nothing. Checks the delivery app after realising the phone hadn't chimed. Nothing. Odd!
