40 years ago I was a young student collecting for the miners and marching through London. I feel as passionate today as I did then for the way they treated - no Justice - no peace - visit the site still campaigning - never give up xxx https://otjc.org.uk

Remember 84

Fred was an old friend from Kibworth, Leicestershire, who spent his life on the streets. He died some 3 years ago on a park bench in the same rec we used too bunk off to form school when we first met - smoking and drinking. He was a good man and the first real friend I had.
