@BLUFclub ...or a long, hard, sweaty fuck ?

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@EnglishLeatherM @BLUFclub Thank you, I won't add to what you have said other than to say to my mind we are addressing, in the most part, the symptom, not the cause...this I feel is the issue that needs discussion and action...we have a responsibility to guide our more 'naive' community members

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@BLUFclub BUTCH ...FILTH...SHAME...REGRET...GUILT...SORRY... any followed with ...by BLUF 'keeping it dirty since 1997' ...lol

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@BLUFclub Great idea Nigel

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@joekingmrluk @LDNLeather Thank you Joe, for you kind words. We all try as best we can I believe...and change is, I agree, very much part of survival x

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@LDNLeather @LeathermenCymru @LeathermenScot Indeed it is, and as it always has and will be xxx

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@LDNLeather 5 - 'Jon', is VERY much looking forward to joining you on the 2nd July, as he always tried to do since 1994, for what will be a fantastic celebration of FIFTY years of both protest and celebration of our incredible LGBTQ+ community xxxxx

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@LDNLeather 4 - I have been called many, many things in my 50+ years ....but Gracious ...well I will certainly take that gentlemen x

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@LDNLeather 3 - This island is made up of precious pieces, I have tried best to serve every part, as best I can, but for it to work it needs to be PERSONAL, and with the best will in the world, no single person can hold this role and fill it fully...and God knows's I've tried xx

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@LDNLeather 2 - I know this is not specifically aimed at me, I simply am the current imcumbent, as I have always tried to do, is serve, respect and honour our great community, LLM's request dor me to do this was taken with all humility xx

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@LDNLeather Everyone I just wanted to say
1 - So this is TWITTER ?? lol x

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@joekingmrluk @BLUFclub @NovyBDSM Thanks Joe, that means a fucking huge amount mate xxx I know just what you mean, and regret all those missed opportunities of the past, some could have and should have, got out, 'shaking hands and kissing babies'
Big hugs Mr G.G.G.Leather Dad xx

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@joekingmrluk @BLUFclub 4 - My most passionate aim, was my promise to try and bring the community together, and I can see no way of doing this from and armchair....but by being out, talking, helping and showing the love, wherever it may be, in PERSON....just as YOU did mate, I follow your lead Jon xxx

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@joekingmrluk @BLUFclub 3 - I have a clear conscience that at the end of my title time, not only will I look back proudly at what I have done v. what I promised, BUT also a legacy of serving the community at a very difficult time, and I don't mean just Covid ...

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@joekingmrluk @BLUFclub 2 - BUT I will say I discard more invite's to 'parties', in favour of what I see as better choices, Trans+ pride, Manchester Pride protest, I devote a lot of my time to projects like Leather 101 https://t.co/D50CgiHX37 I

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@joekingmrluk @BLUFclub Joe, thanks I respect your comment, but do not agree 100%, some do, some don't. Some get them and are never to be seen again. I'm not going to spout out what I have acheived, it is not what I do,

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@BLUFclub I think for now, let's step back, leave them to thrash it out, and wait for their COLLECTIVE decision. As you say TOO many good men have been lost in this fight, and that is a fucking embarassment and injustice xx

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@BLUFclub Thanks Nigel, I agree, and that is exactly why it can't be a 'beauty pageant' I hope that, when I am done with it, I can look back PROUDLY on my time, having served those I represent.

[Jon Stockton @jonglost]

@BLUFclub Good luck all of you involved in this right now, I trust and know you will make the right choices for all of the rest of us, and we can all get behind you and support what you ALL decide ... thank you xxxxx
