Any improvements since around now (10:30).  Obviously it tails off around early afternoon

11.10   Page loads in around 2-3 seconds but variable.    Over 55,000 'guests' though, down from 60,500 at 10.50am.

I've just got straight on, no problems at all. Earlier this morning, around 7 o'clock, I couldn't get on at all.

Not to ransom, but possible reasons:

Because they can.
Because we have upset somebody.
Because if they overwhelm processes/logs it's easier to hide other activity.
To keep botnets active/busy when not needed.

Not exactly left leaning though

Equality for political persuasions as well, Mr Gollum.  Except the Greens. They can go opps themselves.

Agreed. Despite being a raving Francophile, EU loving leftie, Albs has always seemed quite at home here.
