@MrAlfredGarnett Thanks Alf - I had the pleasure of meeting Kenneth on several occasions in London , in the 1980's . He was a very , very funny natural comic . It brings back great memories .

@BBCParliament I hope the Speakers comments help those MP's who have suffered appalling abuse for having the courage of their convictions , and standing up for what they believe . It's a breath of fresh air for parliamentary democracy .

FREE SPEECH: Watching Parliament debate Harassment and it is clear Rudd trying to close down free speech. Everyone on all sides of political spectrum should be very concerned at this grave move to regulate social media & basic freedoms. UK has ample blasphemy libel & slander laws

Don't invest emotional energy in people who lack direction. If they can't do themselves right, they certainly won't do right by you.
