@s8mb@bswud@SCP_Hughes Hi Sam, Excellent essay I run a Youtube channel with around 220k subs called Damien Talks Money. Would you mind if I cover some of the findings of the report and give you full credit in the video & link to the report itself?
@WilkinsonAzure I think you may have witnessed me get attacked outside a bar in Manchester on Saturday night. Would it be possible for you to get in touch with me so I can pass your details to the police? Would really appreciate you submitting a statement of whatever you saw 💙
@MelissaAtAll I am open you your view on this and I must admit I did think am I being insensitive here… but thought if I died I would hope people still shared some of my best moments. Please let me know if you think I am wrong the last thing I want to do is cause offence.
