Today I won’t blow your socks off- honest (but it’s not going to be about fluffy kittens either…)

OK…thanks everyone for the comments on my last post, which was a tad on the serious side, I know. That might be because I’ve been bottling it up through a mixture of shame, embarrassment, worry about what anyone will think, panic re the legal case…..and many other reasons.

Do you know when you might need Legal Aid? And will it still be around when you do?

What is the most popular post on my site? You might say pieces of creative writing, or the story of my recent legal tussles abroad…

The answer is penguins. A flip piece that I put up about the penguins and my sanity a while ago. ‘One by One the Penguins are stealing my Sanity’ Alas for literature and protest…Penguins.

Thanks to following D’s advice and contacting my MEP, someone is FINALLY taking interest in this case! I got an email from the MEP yesterday…not only is he trying to do something about it himself, he has passed it on to Harriet Harman at the Department for Constitutional Affairs, saying that it is the latest in a line of similar cases and that something must be done urgently, and is discussing it with French MEPs in Brussels today!

Some of the more observant amongst you may note that I have anonymised my blog somewhat. This is just in case someone is trying to look me up, given what is going on at the moment……….

Given some of the hassle that Mr Spicy C has had regarding blog content, i felt it might be better to be safe than sorry.
