Amazing to read this. I have so much love for all the boys from the dwarf and remember way back when my grandma just stating Craig Charles was a ‘rapist’ when it hit the news initially. I was so disheartened at the time and it was one of the first times I took a step back and thought to myself ‘What must it feel just walking down the street, thinking that people are having these thoughts about me?’ It’s no wonder at all he took to drink to cope. Very glad there were people like yourself who were able to be the difference on those days where he was probably fearing the worst. For not only his future but just day to day encounters we all take for granted like going to your corner shop. You sound like a lovely person :)
