Read More HereMy earliest memory is at eight years old, sitting on a train with my younger brother. Our uncle had alighted a few stops earlier, and there we were – two young lads, me with a bar of Bournville chocolate, my brother with a bar of Dairy Milk. As the train pulled into its terminus, we sat, watching everyone get off. The guard came and asked us what we were doing and, once our faces indicated we had no idea, the police then came for us.
The next thing I remember is sitting at King’s Cross Police Station, with everyone asking if we were ok. I still had one piece of chocolate left, and I noticed it was getting dark outside. Eventually, we were bundled into a car and driven out to the countryside to a short-stay children’s home in Enfield, where we’d be just until the authorities located our correct whereabouts.
That was in 1966. Little did I know I wouldn’t leave until I joined the army in 1975.

Read More HereIs it just me, or is the treatment of Prime Minister May extending from cringe-worthy into outright bullying?
Perhaps I'm getting old, but in my view, such open abuse and hectoring of an employee in the workplace is completely out of order. I thought the same when the leader of the opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, experienced similar public personal attacks during his first year in office.
My question: is this really acceptable in 21st-century Britain?
