The first blog by a British prisoner. Variously described as being "obviously extremely intelligent" (Michael Gove), "the most interesting interview I have ever done" (Michael Portillo), and a "fully paid up member of the awkward squad" (Parole Board), I try to generate debate around the moral and political nexus that is imprisonment. Imprisoned between ages 14 to 47, released on Licence in August 2012

Wear your poppy with pride
There is some wicked irony in here somewhere. The poppies we wear to honour our fallen heroes are assembled by, amongst others, sex offenders in prison.
Brilliant!

ReplyDeleteYes - but I am sure 'sex offenders' respect our fallen heroes just as much as anyone else.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, that's a valid point - who's to say that some haven't served in the military in the past too?
ReplyDeleteJust shows you how complicated real life is if approach it with any level of maturity.
