Bloody Tories. Has Theresa May been there yet - too busy fox-hunting I expect.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

Another terrible event. I'd make a glib remark about religion but to be fair it's simply too horrendous.

Sadly the death toll is increasing: "A catastrophic forest fire in Portugal has claimed at least 58 lives, officials say. Most died while trying to flee the Pedrógão Grande area, 50 km (30 miles) south-east of Coimbra, in their cars, according to the government. Several firefighters are among the 59 people injured."
