If 26 people remember your appalling racist behaviour as a schoolboy and are willing to call you out for it 50 years later you cannot simply brush it off and say it doesn't matter.
"The child is the father of the man," as William Wordsworth once put it. And this father was a nasty bullying bigot.

Goodwin (like similar voices) is being totally dishonest about this. Despite the equal dishonesty of its headline, the Mail story shows these weren't "anti-immigration tweets", they were calls for "slaughter" and mass violence against MPs. It's incredible that this is being openly condoned.

Three years ago this terrified dog arrived at our home. Since then we’ve been on a long and often difficult journey to make her feel safe with us and there’s more to do but we’re so glad that #sophiefromromania came into our lives

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.
