Wouldn’t it be lovely

WELL John Bolton you have certainly exercised your right to free speech and I respect that.

Now I have an idea: what about you opening your house and yard to these sad people.

You could have toilets and showers in-stalled and while they are erecting their tents you could be cooking a delicious barbecue and chatting to them Hearing of their lives of abuse, neglect, addiction, homelessness, mental illness and loneliness.

It would advance your understanding and guess what, the parks and gardens would be pristine and the people who normally supply the food would have a lovely rest; saying so gratefully “John’s got it”.

You only live once John and wouldn’t it be wonderful to leave this world with the title of Saint John instead of Grumpy John?

Mary Coffey, Willaston
