When I first approached Robert Hur for an interview, soon after his appointment as special counsel, fourteen months ago, he demurred, saying, “I’m boring.” Then his circumstances changed. When we finally met, he pulled up in an armored black government S.U.V., accompanied by two U.S. marshals. Hur had completed his report on whether President Joe Biden had mishandled classified documents—he had declined to prosecute Biden but had impugned the President’s memory in the process—and members of both parties were furious.

Elderly drivers will be “unfairly penalised” by a new parking rule which will see motorists who pay with cash forced to cough up more.
Sutton Council increased their car park fees at pay and display machines back in June.
However, charges have been frozen for those who use an app or telephone line to pay the bill.
According to the BBC, the new rule means motorists have to pay £1 extra to park in the south London borough if they
Drivers have been left feeling “frankly suicidal” over Sadiq Khan’s plans to expand the Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ), according to a leading activist.
Michelle Chisholm, an Anti-ULEZ campaigner has also warned elderly drivers are “becoming prisoners” at home as a result of the new car tax fees.

A mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in Durango, Colorado, saved a 90-year-old woman’s life after growing concerned about the quantity of mail that began to pile up without being taken inside.

Fears have grown for cancer appointments and elderly patients this winter as nurses are set to strike for two days before Christmas in a row over pay.
The Royal College of Nursing announced the first in a series of walk outs over pay will take place on Thursday 15 and Tuesday 20 December.

Published in 1978, Andrew Holleran’s Dancer From the Dance holds a sacred place in gay literary history for its seductive glimpse of post-Stonewall and pre-AIDS New York City. Dancer’s world is idyllic: The men are handsome; the music pulsates; the drugs are bountiful; the baths are overflowing; and the poppers—they still come in glass capsules you pop! The novel is told in epistolary form, the narrative revealed in letters between an unnamed writer
A 4ft 10 great-grandfather was handcuffed and arrested by two Canadian cops for honking his horn in support of Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa on Sunday – a day before a judge outlawed honking amid a left-wing backlash against anti-mandate protesters who have been smeared by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as ‘swastika-wavers’.
A bystander filmed while two officers pulled over Gerry Charlebois, 78, for beeping his horn.
‘What did he do wrong?’ the bystander asked. ‘None of your f****** concern,
Pushed up to the breakfast table, Betty Bednarowski folds and refolds her napkin with studied intensity, softly singing “Winter Wonderland” without the words, the same as she did in March and July and September.
Dessert today is a tiny cup of pudding, like yesterday’s, with seven pills Bednarowski can’t swallow, crushed into the butterscotch. Between mouthfuls, Bednarowski, who has advanced Alzheimer’s disease, glances at her daughter, Susan Ryder, and flashes a blissful grin.
It’s probably just as well that, a
