I woke up and was quickly depressed when I listened to the news about Hartlepool. Fortunately Labour won in our Colchester Council election, but I have damaged a friendship over my choice of who I voted for yesterday. I am hoping that the schism is one that can be repaired for it is a valuable and cherished friendship.
So to top the day, my son wanted to watch 13 Reasons Why. While this is a depressing end to the day, it is one of the few things that he will do with me. And the topic of this is rape. An interesting topic considering the film I watched with my wife and daughter on Sunday.
My son was not aware of the appalling statistics when it comes to rape and convictions. He is now.
