Race is a very sensitive topic, but there’s no doubt that racism is vile. The abuse of any person is abhorrent, but abuse aimed at an individual or group based on the colour of their skin is incomprehensible to me.
Last Saturday saw a first in space travel. A private company working with NASA successfully launched a rocket and put two men into space with the objective of docking with the international space station. My wife and I saw the space station as it passed over that night, a bright moving light.

I AM NOT going to do a column on trying to make sense of the coronavirus even though it is the dominant talking point in society the world over.
