  • Necessary and urgent

    I can’t praise this enough. I find it astonishing the things people have gone through just because they posed a challenge to the establishment. My heart goes out to all affected.

    Keep up the good work - the media are largely ignoring it all so your detailed accounts here will matter in the future as well as being vital now.
