Hi everybody. I dabble in acrylics, and play far too much Richard Burns Rally. Here's Jackie, acrylic on canvas, from a photo of her sitting on a glass awning surveying her territory.

I’m exactly the same age as Farage. I was at school at exactly the same time. Racism was unacceptable and not tolerated by my school, parents or friends. We didn’t watch Bernard Manning, my parents wouldn’t have had him on TV. None of my friends knew any antisemetic songs.
