Dear friends, We announce with great sadness that our brother James Prime passed away this morning after a short struggle with cancer. Thank you so much for the messages of support that you shared over the last two weeks, they meant so much to Jim, his family & us. With love, DBx

I am pleased to say I have received a fulsome apology from @HeathrowAirport about this morning’s mess-up. They are buying more high-lifts, which is good news as it’s not as if this is the first time this has happened! Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Searches by our #Maidstone officers have led to two men being jailed for 22 years, after they beat and tortured a victim in his own home. Bader Mohamed and Lewis Rowley also choked and stamped on the man during demands for money. kent.police.uk/news/kent/late…
