The older I get, the less I can accept the world around me. People say that you become more right wing and reactionary as you age, for me it’s the exact opposite. I’ve always been a socialist, I grew up in a Labour voting household, and I was instilled from an early age that the way to live was to be kind, understanding and welcoming, while at the same time being free to think for myself, to ask questions and to be stubborn in getting the answers.
