Mystery surrounds both the life and death of “kind-hearted” but sometimes “naïve” Annie Börjesson and, according to the Scottish Review, “the story of the last weeks of [her] life is disturbing in its emotional complexity and profound sense of incompleteness.” Born in Sweden, but resident in Edinburgh at the time of her death, Börjesson’s body […]

I was disappointed to see he was at Mrs Meyer’s event at Downing Street. He should know better.

His magic is superb and he is such a lovely man.
A tip top chap.
He is brilliant on the telly box.
