Almost 50 years ago, I well remember seeing the Ken Russell film, The Witches (1971), in which group madness takes over the inhabitants of a town resulting in the burning on the stake of the central character of the film – a priest, played by Oliver Reed. The film was based on a 1952 […]
Late Saturday I wrote the piece below on my voting intentions. I put it aside upon learning of horrendous events that occurred on London Bridge at 10 pm that night. My first inclination was not to post it at all, seeing it as being if not an irrelevance then unnecessary. However Theresa May’s remarks yesterday, […]
