For some reason Mr Murdoch has allowed me to see these so I thought I'd add them before he changes his mind:

John: Very odd that you could get to those Times links - I tried each one and the Paywall was erected immediately on each.

[John Mallinson]

Yup, Mr Murdoch has thought better of it.

Paywall now re-erected.

Jack Widdowson - Ballet dancer spins back to health after assault damaged his spine: Steven Morris, The Guardian; Bella Battle, The Sun

So glad to hear how well he's doing: I was horrified when I heard of the attack. It seemed somehow worse that he belonged to a company that I was quite familiar with.

Also, pleased to hear about the streaming of Breakin' Convention: that really ought to build bridges with the wider world.
