Summary of @realDonaldTrump I read: he lacks certain qualities which we traditionally esteem. He has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour & no grace

RIP Jean Stafford Smith: tho she divorced my very difficult, bipolar Dad, 50 yrs ago she looked after him for the rest of his life. She never let me know when he advocated my execution in the Newmarket Journal as she wanted me to maintain a good relationship with him...

Very pleased to report that our Afghan Gitmo client Asad Haroon is half way home, here in Doha this morning, with his family (incl his daughter) tomorrow... @TJPlo @mahermark123 @MissMRukhsana @3DC_org He looks much better in traditional AF clothes than Gitmo Orange...

If at first you don't succeed, try try again! About to take @FowziaSiddiqui to #FMCCarswell to see if (a) they have found the key to the visitation cell (!), and (b) the two sisters can visit. #LetSistersHug @Aafiamovement @senatorMtalha

If a rich person sacked his whole staff, during a religious service in memory of the Queen, surely he would be chastised by everyone? So why was there not more horror when Charles sacked his entire Clarence House staff?

Black Lives Matter. There is one "Black Life" I particularly wish had mattered more. You should watch 14 Days in May-much as I hate to myself. Edward Johnson would have been 60 this month if they had not gassed him-they gassed a black bunny rabbit on camera to practice. @Reprieve

35 years ago tonight, just after midnight, Mississippi executed my very innocent client Edward Earl Johnson. They used ZyklonB to kill him. To honour him, you can watch the 90 minute BBC documentary 14 Days in May here: @3DC_org
