The 1970’s version of Death on the Nile is one of my favourite comfort films. There is something infectious about the good time Peter Ustinov and David Niven are so obviously having while Angela Lansbury is never less than joyous as she chews the scenery and much of the cast in her portrayal of Salome Otterbourne, the […]
Very few people think killing, however deliberate, wrong in itself, necessarily and always wrong, wrong just because it is killing.

I only catch the BBC Radio 4 Today programme briefly each day. I listen to a few minutes while shaving. It is really all that I can stand. On Friday morning we were treated to the ghastly story of the death, at police hands, of Tyre Nichols. It more than appears (it was all caught
