I have very happy memories of a boozy Christmas in 1998 at a friend's house in Twickenham. The food was excellent, and somehow we worked our way through 3 bottle of champagne, 6 bottles of red, a bottle of port plus a few 'liveners'. The thought makes me wince now, but at the time it was probably one of the most marvellous days I've spent on this planet.


The host had excellent cooking skills and very eccentric music tastes. I remember hearing Captain Beefheart for the first time through a fug of alcohol, and thinking how amazing he truly was (I was only 23 at the time).


Cheers Captain Beefheart - you helped make it a great day :)-D

    • I don't know all this. Children are starting school and people are scared because the children might be attacked by asylum seekers? What do you think spray painting St George flags does to make children safer? The flag campaign has absolutely nothing to do with patriotism, or about addressing male violence (many of those behind the campaign have violent criminal records themselves). It's about xenophobia, fear, and intimidation. 
    • The issue, with children starting school again, is that there is an unknown risk, and people want to know their children are safe, which they do not. You know all of this, I don’t need to attempt to outline the views for you as it’s widely available.  There is outrage at how some people are behaving. Did you not see women attacking a man being interviewed? As with all things, the actions of a few is damaging.
    • What priority are asylum seekers being given over the community?  Whilst it's terrible that a girl has been assaulted, why are the criminal actions of an individual being seen as reason to attack a whole group of people? Many of those involved in the 'raise the colours' campaign have criminal histories, including domestic violence. Perhaps there should also be community outrage at that, instead of those people apparently being lionised as 'patriots'. There is a very clear attempt by the like of Farage etc. (who contributed significantly to the current 'crisis') to stir up unrest. The flag campaign has absolutely nothing to do with patriotism. I don't think anyone believes it does. 
    • All to do with the issues in Essex, with a child allegedly assaulted by and asylum seeker residing in a local hotel, ensuing community outrage, particularly with asylum seekers given priority over the community. The whole thing is toxic.
