@Ben_Everitt Hmmm... I’ve been attacked (broken nose, 2 black eyes), outside my home, alongside women on my street in separate incidents. We live close to Clapham. I’ve asked for better lighting, CCTV. Wrote to my MP and the council, the police have done nothing.
Empty words I’m afraid.

No contribution for schools, hospitals, roads, defence, public services, welfare etc. No wonder he is keen to avoid new EU tax laws.

“Making the distinction between loneliness & isolation is a coping mechanism when I race. When I remind myself that I have family & friends who love me, I’m able to persuade myself that I can’t possibly be lonely. It’s sometimes easier when we separate those two emotions”.
