ECHO 30/11/05

CIA has been using UK airfield as stop-off points on their way to covert interrogation centers further east – transporting ‘prisoners’ (terrorist suspects, Iraq detainees etc) to countries where International law does not cover the use of torture i.e. where it is legally permissible. They call them ‘rendition flights’ and it would appear they have been breaking Human Right’s laws. A thought strikes me when I learn of this: could this be one of the reasons Throckmorton airfield remains manned? Virgil should investigate.
The Roses Theatre is where Eric Morecombe died (see entry 14/11/05). Since then there have been sightings of butterflies in panto tech weeks; some say a butterfly appears and flies across the stage, others say that they see one outdoors somewhere – the oddity of course being that butterflies wouldn’t normally be seen anywhere in winter. So the belief has grown that it is a little blessing from Eric Morecombe to the theatre and to the panto etc. Something fitting and beautiful.
