Yes, and quite pretty.  I was young once and quite handsome (so Marge says!).

From Politics Live

SUMMARY: Neighbours describe the white British man arrested in Rotherham on suspicion of murdering Ann Widdecombe

- A learning difficulties "loner" who didn't seem to work and rarely left his house

- He went "loopy" and "more introverted" once his father died before Christmas, who he had moved in with around a year ago

- "He was someone you'd have a conversation with but that changed after his dad died. He became very quiet. He kept himself to himself and wouldn't really speak to anyone"

Ends

Apparently he had a brother who lived in Devon and had visited him before..just a guess but was the guy that was initially arrested his brother?

The arrest was in Rotherham. Not a million miles from me, a long way from Exmoor.  As you say Alex, I wonder what was the motive.

I thought AW was a real character, I didn't agree with some of her views, but I respected her strength of character.

I don't know why this particular crime has affected me.  I really liked Ann, loved listening to her speeches and debates.  I wasn't a Strictly fan but did see her 'dancing' on it, she didn't care what people thought of her. It does make you feel vulnerable as a woman living alone and knocking on a bit like Ann.  Scrumpy said she closed her windows last night.  Sad isn't it ?

Just a thought, why would someone from Yorkshire travel 275 Miles to Dartmoor  ? a burglary ? surely plenty of houses closer to home to rob.

England struggled at times in this game, which was nothing like the Mexico game but was nerve wracking and not in a good way !  Thanks to the wonderful Jude Bellingham we managed a win and now face 39 year old Messi's Argentina.  They beat 10 man Switzerland 3-1 but had to wait until extra time to win.   We can't afford to worry about their reputation, if we can conjure up another Mexico type performance and we have unbiased officials  we can beat them, fingers crossed.
