Blood-drenched childhood bully turned up at my Essex home with note saying ‘I’m sorry’ 100 times… then the sirens began
One source of trouble - aside from being overweight, dyslexic, and asthmatic - was a local bully named Brett Rogers. The thug was a constant, nasty menace who bullied Edd from pillar to post, despite being mates with his brother Sam. "Brett was never allowed to come to our house because my parents knew that he would be mean to me. They identified him because his footprint was on there.”“He wrote, ‘I'm sorry’ on a piece of paper like a hundred times. But it felt like forever.”'He's covered in blood, laughing'Why Rogers had turned up at Edd’s door remains unclear.

Manchester Synagogue Terrorist Was Under Investigation for Rape
The perpetrator of the terrorist attack at a British synagogue this week was under investigation for rape and had been released on bail by the police, according to an official with knowledge of the investigation. Jihad al-Shamie, 35, had convictions for past crimes that were unrelated to terrorism, according to the official at Greater Manchester Police, who was not authorized to speak publicly about an active investigation. On Thursday, the assailant rammed his car into people outside the synagogue, Heaton Park Congregation, in Manchester, England, and then went on a stabbing spree before being shot dead by the police while trying to enter the building. Two other men were killed, including one who was accidentally struck by a police bullet, and three others were injured and remain hospitalized. The attack, which came on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, has added to fears about the safety of Jews around the world amid rising antisemitism.

Sarah Mullally Is Named as First Female Archbishop of Canterbury
Sarah Mullally, a onetime nurse who became the first female Anglican bishop of London, was named on Friday as the 106th archbishop of Canterbury, making her the spiritual leader of 85 million Anglicans worldwide and the first woman to occupy a history-laden post, established more than 1,400 years ago. A former cancer nurse who served as a health administrator and the chief nursing officer for England, Archbishop-designate Mullally, 63, is a vocal exponent of the rights and role of women in the Church of England. She has been the bishop of London since 2018, having been ordained as a priest in 2002. The rumored short list of candidates had included two other female bishops. But the naming of Archbishop-designate Mullally thrusts the church into a new era, potentially sowing tensions within the far-flung Anglican Communion, to which the Church of England, as well as the Episcopal Church in the United States, belong.

Taylor Swift receives mixed reviews for The Life Of A Showgirl
Written during the European leg of her Eras Tour, the album pulls back the curtain on the singer’s life and romance with fiance and NFL star Travis Kelce, indulging listeners with a fun and playful 12-track pop record. Released on Friday, the album was made with Swedish duo Max Martin and Shellback, reuniting the singer with the producers she worked with in 2017 for her album Reputation and 2014’s pop juggernaut album 1989. That’s why it is so much fun.”Some, however, were less impressed, notably The Guardian and The Financial Times, who gave the album two stars. The Telegraph, which gave it three stars, said: “It is a fine album – a witty, literate, mellifluous collection of overwhelmingly romantic singer-songwriter-style pop songs about the triumph of love, almost certainly spelled L-U-R-V-E. But for all its sophistication, Showgirl showcases Swift at her least dramatically intense.
