    That'll teach me to go for a sandwich, just as it was formally broken! Looks like the cancer took him in a couple of months....a real shame, one of my favourite voices.

    Best I can do so far: https://twitter.com/PaulGrayDJ/status/846369899836518400 He was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. As I say waiting for the better info, if true it's very sad indeed.

    News coming through that Clem Curtis, lead singer of The Foundations, has died. More when there is a more definite report or trusted source.

    Terrorists & Topical Terrorist Targets

    Sooo...it's beginning to bother me. When is a terrorist a terrorist? Police say in the most recent London incident that they will probably never know the perps intention. And yet it is trumpeted as a terrorist attack. I mean it might be but because the perp was non-white it's just assumed. If we are talking well, it was aimed at politicians, why was Jo Cox's killer not labelled a terrorist? If we say obviously high number of casualties, why was Raoul Moat not labelled a terrorist? Not judging, not trying to make a point, just wondering...
