Some of these boys are new, these boys are a team in transition, but most importantly these boys lost a mate in tragic circumstances 4 months ago yesterday.

I’d like us to be able to cut them a bit of fucking slack. Thx bye.

Read this back in 2019 from one of your recommendations on the other site. Read again in 2020 because what we were going through wasn’t this bad. Know what you mean about the ending.

Finished at the weekend and keep thinking about it. Loved Margo, enraged by all the men apart from JB and the baby.

I cackled and snorted all the way through. Absolutely loved it.

When I was reading this before I then looked for care jobs online, minimum wage. People should be paid properly for this type of role. Gutted for her and her parents.

If you do have coverage of the event this evening in Liverpool, then as the authorities have requested please don’t post it, but please do send it to Merseyside Police so it can help them carry on with their investigation into it
