A reminder After the Aug 2011 riots, police & my prosecutors examined all the video evidence for MONTHS identifying & bringing offenders to justice - 1000s of them Some didn’t get arrested till a year later! Prison was the usual sentence My boss was someone called Keir Starmer

A very good morning from Ralph! This was the view from my bed this morning. When he first arrived, he’d nap and the slightest thing would wake him. Now he sleeps soundly. 😴 He likes to start the day with some pawlates. This position is called the Usain Bolt! 🤣🐾🐾

It is truly hard and unfathionable to comprehend the horrendous loss of 3 women’s lives and the circumstances in which they died; Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt. And the pain that John Hunt must be experiencing is unimaginable.

Is it Time to stop calling it “domestic abuse” or “violence against women & girls”? It’s MALE VIOLENCE When we identify the perpetrator rather than just the victim, we have a chance of eliminating it because we focus on the cause & not only it’s effect
