End of term
I write with reference to two people who have been in the news in the past week whose careers have ended.
Firstly, PCSO Terry McCormack: what a great guy.
I witnessed a man committing suicide by jumping off Wisbech Town Bridge, horrendous.
I returned home in absolute bits and began writing a report of what I had witnessed.
Shortly after, Terry and PCSO Sue Clarke called round to make sure I was OK.
I wasn t, but they stayed with me until I had calmed down and took a statement.
What helped was during some small talk, I revealed that one of my favourite bands was The Pogues. and Terry said he had been a roadie for them! Wow!

If Vice President Harris wants to have some fun while sheâs in Rhode Island Wednesday, she should consider a trip to Greggâs for cake (the traveling press loves this) or stop by Andinoâs on Federal Hill for calamari (we are the calamari comeback state, after all).
Governor Dan McKee and the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) are working with colleges and universities throughout Rhode Island to make COVID-19 vaccines as accessible as possible for all students, faculty, and staff before the spring semester ends.
“Now that vaccine eligibility is open to all people 16 and older who live, work, or go to school in Rhode Island, it’s important that we get our young people who live in congregate settings vaccinated,” said Governor McKee. “We’re working with our colleges and universities to get as many shots in arms as possible before students recess for the summer.”
