A flak jacket
was no help in the areas of the Cape Flats I worked in!(geographical area not buildings.) At present trying to find out where I can help resolve the current gang/gun/knife crime in UK with my experience. Have already been to see MP at Parliament and exchanging my ideas etc and will be seeing one of David Camerons staff to discuss this with them next week at Conservative HQ. Presently 'champing at the bit' and trying to network and get some part time employment commensurate with my experience. |
