‘The worst thing is the f***ing c**** in charge do what they want.
‘I see all these people saying all the parties they were having and people saying that was the day I couldn’t see my mum in hospital, or I couldn’t go to my dad’s funeral because the posh, privileged people in charge were acting like f***ing Charlie Sheen.

“Was it time to cease using the qualification of “went to Eton” to lead this country? I mean f***ing hell. That’s why this is what I do. I have noticed that there’s lots of frustration and anger all around me, which I think is totally reasonable.

He said Monday that dogs saved me from this pandemic. If I had to live with them, it would have put me in serious trouble.
“I went for walks every day, and I am familiar with hundreds of dogs. You always get to meet some of your friends. That sets me up for the day. Dogs give me joy unabated.
