Well, a few actually. Although, not literally. The past 12 months for me, have been some of the toughest. I’ve had to fight the Met Police Commissioner’s appeal of the racist and homophobic acts committed against me by his Force, trying to deal with the end of my marriage and having a public meltdown. When…
Today, I woke with a lump behind one of my ears. I’d felt something soft about two days ago, but today, it was hard and I could move the skin around it. Anyway, with my health being a priority these past few years (mentally, anyway), I made an immediate appointment to see my General Practitioner.…
An IMPORTANT MESSAGE … just to be clear. Rape, is ‘NEVER’ the victim’s fault. FULL STOP.
It’s hard to believe that I’ve been single for a year since the breakdown of my marriage. Time does fly, but, the wounds and separation of any long-term relationship often take that much longer to heal. I’m glad, though, I’m on the mend. I was out and about in London recently with my dear American…

My friend Alice yesterday asked me if I’d ever thought of committing suicide, with her being more concerned than the usual ‘yes’ answer I gave. It may sound weird to some, but I know why men particularly under the age of 35 (Britain’s biggest killer of this age group) take their own lives. My ordeals…
The recent photograph of the UK Prime Minister on holiday and published in various national newspapers, despite the privacy controversies surrounding it got me thinking about my weight. In May of this year, BBC London News interviewed me after the employment appeal court verdict in my case against the Metropolitan Police Service. For years I’d…

It’s hard to believe that today, is the 9th Mothering Sunday I have celebrated without the beautiful lady I knew as My Mum. I think almost everyone knows that, there isn’t a day I go without thinking about her. The time we enjoyed together, and how I am ‘who and what I am’ because of…
