Landlord came over, asked me if I was “some kind of legal expert”. Showed him copies of my degrees, my practicing certificates over the years, pictures of me at global top 10 law firms. Then said yes. He fucked off, lady had finished breastfeeding and we both walked out.

My family has existed on these islands for at least a thousand years that we can trace back, so undoubtedly more. I will not be told I am betraying this country by refusing to back a racist law by someone whose own family were economic immigrants one generation ago.

@fklein907 This struck me to be honest, I’m 48 and it was only about 5 years ago that my psychiatrist had to gently tell me that not everyone got beaten like my brother and I did when we were growing up in poverty in South Wales. Shocking to think I honestly thought it was normal!
