Hi Barendina
Further to your request for pre 1990 pictures of the Manor House, I have been through my mother’s collection and have found these from the late 80‘s when my father was looking after the Manor. Apologies for their quality!
Best wishes,
Tony Heil

I first learnt of grooming gangs from @theTimes in Jan 2011
I became chief prosecutor May 2011
I authorised charging Rochdale grooming gang June 2011
After convictions (May 2012) Starmer put me in charge of national response
Far Right thugs attacked my home
1000s of rapists were brought to justice

Lots of people commenting on the
So called grooming gang issue in following some “intervention” from the USA

They might want to consider that Starmer left office as DPP with the highest conviction rate for child sexual abuse since records began

Elon Musk’s fascist turn isn’t puzzling at all.

It’s all about labour 🧵

By the way, do you intend moving or sharing A Crowland Chronicle with Blue Sky? I‘m looking at closing my X account (for obvious reasons), as are other family members and it would be a real shame to lose contact.

I appreciate you‘ll be extremely busy with the Manor. It might be easier in the New Year. Mum would want me to be there and unfortunately I live in Manchester. Shall I contact you post Christmas?

Good luck with it all Gaby

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

🚨Health Secretary Wes Streeting has ordered a review of what physician associates do in the NHS amid growing alarm in the medical profession about patient safety saying
"there are legitimate concerns over..scope of practice & substituting of doctors. These concerns have been ignored for too long”👏

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion.

The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.

Exempt from all.

Sums up the current state of the US politics

Good to see you here George!
