Media Hello friend, The Metro have come back to IPSO with another proposed article corrections; however, they have changed little and still not admitted that they included falsely attributed quotes and/or claims. Also, still no proper apology to my family. This will have to go to IPSO’S Committee to adjudicate, along with the Daily Star.

Stopped Mail Hello friend, Security finally gave me the stopped IPSO letter and newspaper articles. Weirdly (not so much), I also received another letter and article from IPSO the day after it was mailed, but not the other one which had been sent between these two.

Heart Attack and Handcuffs (civil case) Hello friend, I’ve got a date for my oral hearing for permission to appeal the case management decision: 28th June.

Does my post-modern irony come across? Aw, alright, that was just sarcasm. Be happy, be safe (and use your head not your need

Psychology Hello friend, Well, what do you know? The Sex Offenders Treatment Program has been scrapped. “But, why?” I hear you cry. “It was so successful at bringing down recidivism.” Really? Not the reports I’ve read. How many millions over how many years have been wasted on this supposed panacea for sex crime? Well, at
