I'm a dad of five, I'm a youth, family and SENDS support worker. I coach and mentor through football and boxing. Previously from London, now based in Essex.
@MirrorBreaking_ Hopefully the government will put the residents up in hotels at no cost. If we can look after those who enter the country illegally then we should be able to look after these people.
@vernalscott As someone who now works in a school and also as a youth worker all we can try a d do is educate our kids and support them. Some just aren't streetwise and are easily being groomed.
@vernalscott I've been stopped and searched on a number of occasions by Asian and white officers, some good and some bad. My worse was an Asian officer with a bad attitude, was he racist? NO he was just an idiot with a bad attitude. Let's teach our kids how to engage as much as the police
@vernalscott And then be blamed for not doing more. The police can't win if communities don't support them. I moved out of London because I didn't want my kids growing up in the same environment. I'm now in Essex and seeing the same problems being shipped out by London boroughs into Essex.
@metpoliceuk We need to get rid of the attempted murder sentencing, just because you fail to take a life shouldn't mean you get a lesser sentence. If found to carry a weapon it should be twenty years minimum and if you take a life you should be locked up for life.
@abbdesmond Having been there myself and having come through everything I had the semi colon tattoo which is the suicide awareness symbol. The two wings are my two friends that I lost to suicide. I purposely had it on my hand as I work in a school and also do youth work, it opens discussions
@EssexPoliceUK thank you so much for the community goal tournament which you put on yesterday. It was the first time our inclusive team the Rayleigh Rebels Community Football Club had entered and the lads all had a great time. Again thank you to all involved and see you next year
@Essex_Echo For those who may make judgement on this young man, no one wants to die, they just want their pain and suffering to stop, mental health is an illness.
@Janietip@trishgreenhalgh When I had covid I'd tested negative for two days prior, don't rely on them 100% as it can take upto five days of contact for you to get a positive result, also look for the other symptoms not just the main three, I know people who have now shown symptoms and tested pos later.
