Or…

• These guys talk a lot of bollocks. Nobody I know talks about inclusion and normalisation. It’s about going for a pint with my mates, wearing my Celtic top and having a right good laugh. It’s about people calling me by first name, and having a bit of money in my pocket. A good film on the telly and a girl to cuddle up to.”

The First Step

I have learned that, in order to bring about change, one must
