Now almost thirty days from St Swithin's and still the rain keeps coming, albeit some days only a few drops of it.

I took the second picture down in this story, sheltering at a bus stop in east Belfast, because I happened to be on a footpath when there was downpour last Sunday and also the very different happy image yesterday of sunshine in the city centre 


There are so many elements to the disastrous PSNI data breach. Catholic officers, being particular targets, are understandably alarmed   and in my column I point out that errors in medicine that risk great harm or risk to life are only handled by highly trained doctors and, if things go badly wrong, they face criminal charges

This long piece on the how green is the green lane for goods under the Windsor Framework by two academics was first published on a Queen's University blog

Unionists are still bitterly divided on how to respond to that Irish Sea border such as Sammy Wilson here and Doug Beattie here

We used a picture on our front page of Leo Varadkar at Windsor Park holding a Linfield shirt in his name but his political comments there criticising unionists and the UK annoyed Ian Paisley Junior, caused Jamie Bryson to say Linfield were foolish to invite him and was, we say, unfortunate amidst a visit that could have been like his visit to the Orange museum 

On legacy, we report on a rare Troubles film that focuses purely on the consequences of IRA terror, in this case the devastating impact on the family of Thomas Niedermayer.   Documentaries on the past mostly examine claims against state. Meanwhile the DUP Emma Little Pengelly has challenged an editorial we wrote saying that unionists and the UK had undergone a moral collapse on legacy 

The row involving a street preacher at Pride a fortnight ago has prompted John Coulter, who grew up amidst that oral evangelical tradition, to say that some of the new ones should get training in the art or stop making fools of themselves 

Here are two reactions to my infrastructure article last week criticising the failure to think big on airports 

See here pictures of a pipe band from a Belfast school that lost 102 boys in World War Two has played at Normandy battle sites.  In another story about music, Alf McCreary reports on the exiting Ulster Orchestra conductor

  Former special branch officer Jim Gamble: PSNI data breach is an own goal  
     
  An ex-Special Branch officer believes that the PSNI hierarchy are trying so hard to "create a sense of normality" with policing in Northern Ireland that they are forgetting the unique and historical risk that officers face.
