Very sorry to learn this happened to you Frank although I know you'd said it was a distinct possibility.

Glad you've come through the experience relatively okay and look forward to reading your account.

All the very very best to you. I've no doubt you'll be able to use your sojourn at his Majesty's pleasure to great journalistic effect. Look forward to reading!

Oh dear Frank, so they banged you up after all. It's quite appalling how the courts just assume children should stay with mothers and fathers are merely afterthoughts and financial sources. A cousin of mine discovered his partner had chosen to father a child through him because she figured he wouldn't stay around. He did. She set the police on him many times, even armed police at one point. He fought all the way and ended up with access to his daughter but it was an awful struggle which showed that society doesn't really value fathers as parents. I really hope you manage to see your way through all this - your children will eventually appreciate your sacrifices.

Good to hear from you in such good spirits Frank. Look forward to your next posts in good time. At least you won’t be spending time at His Majesty’s Pleasure as our Two-Tier PM has assured the US VP, testily, that free speech is alive and kicking in the UK. Oh Yeah? Tell that to Julie Sweeney and Lucy Connolly.

Glad to hear you're okay. I'm still shocked I managed to avoid it!
