The Topsy and Tim books were the first books I borrowed from Lewisham library on a Saturday afternoon. I loved them, Topsy and Tim took me on their adventures once a week. I learned to read and learned to love the library through Topsy and Tim #RIPJeanAdamson

The issue @StephenNolan is the power between the victim and the accused. Structurally we fail to believe victims who are accusing those of power. BBC Saville, Rotherham, Rochdale & Oxford local authority, Hillsborough police
