| On a rather dull August afternoon, I am visiting Bangor this afternoon. There is a lot of interest in our report on concerns that the castle there, currently council offices, will become a hotel. Talking of Bangor, the ex Blair minister Alan Johnson is speaking there tomorrow. I interviewed him at the time of Brexit and followed his career for decades I was intrigued to find here that he once considered buying a house in North Down. I also interviewed the former NIO minister Steve Baker, three years ago, who was gung ho in his warnings about the Irish Sea border. Later he capitulated on the matter, but now writes for us saying the Windsor Framework is not a long term solution. The loyalist Jamie Bryson is not buying his latest change of tack. It is 80 years since the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear attacks. Even though I am a hawk on defence matters and understand well the arguments for those bombings I remain uneasy about them. And here is Roamer on the 1945 blasts. The Free Presbyterian and ex DUP MLA Mervyn Storey has responded to the excruciating-to-watch ambush of him by members of Enoch Burke's family, dismissing the notion that he promotes 'trans ideology'. Meanwhile here are my brief reflections on the memorial for the late music journalist Barry McIlheney, and this is Jackie McGregor's latest column, on an incoming alien probe.
