  1. Well done you made it!! Enjoyed the poem, you should record it for the vlog; set it to rolf harris music. The BBC have taken your threats against Julia very seriously and will be there at Heathrow to make sure you leave the country. We will miss you. Let us know if you ever want to come and watch some Rugby in Leicester. Susan and Lizzie
