I am an old man in a hurry, retired District Judge, a noisy member of the Silent Generation. I Like to wander around making photographs, worming through books, listening to music, fossilising in my shed, Frankie Poodle and afternoon kips.

Lord Justice Sir Charles Harman’s judgments and many of his contemporaries’ are good examples of clarity and economy.

They’re trying to burn down synagogues in Australia. You’d never know though given the level of reporting about it.

Nothing at all to be concerned about eh.
