Bea, can you tell me, or do you know, what happened to that sociologist Bill Thompson
who was on After Dark with you many years ago – re historical abuse… he’s disappeared .
How are you ? Why will you not talk to me ?
Is it because you are now part of vested interests and consultancies ?
Is it because you have an OBE ?
Should I not even be talking to you ?
I have emailed you lots and no replies
End of equality was brilliant
thank you Jim, I haven’t received emails – you may be using an old address!
