I met my mp last Sunday. He’s a Tory. Nice little fella. Mike Freer. All round good guy, nice guy and decent bloke. I was walking down the road with Mel and the elder daughter (a ‘football widow for the day as hubby was at Newcastle watching glorious Spurs) when I saw a ‘threatening group’ – Read More-
