Jon Needham: the man who went to hell and back as a child – and now fights for all rape victims | UK criminal justice | The Guardian theguardian.com/society/2022/j…

@EvyD1 Hi Evelyn, There's nothing wrong with that, self preservation and self care is healthy. I felt like that on many occasions. Thank you for sharing and I hope you are well. 🙏🏼

@JonjayNeedham1 I’ve not always had courage sometimes past trauma and tuning out makes you run away from it.

Being a man/masculine is all about being a positive role model in the family, community & online, bringing out the best in those around us, being hard working, respecting others, showing kindness, compassion, empathy, dignity, showing feelings, standing up for what is right.✊🏼

I watched the @louistheroux 'Inside the Manosphere'. I found it a tragic watch. To me it reflected a me first, selfish, self-obsessed world of male attention seekers saying anything to harvest clicks & likes, exploiting women & their audience for personal gain. Discusting! 🤮🤮

@Jennyfurfuls It was all about respect of women, family, community.

@Jennyfurfuls Not sure why the aggression? Clearly, you didn't read my tweet properly & have not been reading my posts/story over the years.

@Lamplighter_UK Just followed you. Feel free to DM me 👍🏼

@JonjayNeedham1 Hi Jon, can you DM, be good to have a chat. Best wishes

@AlisonMoyet @calluptome Tests revealed I was related to one of the chuckle Brothers 😁👍🏼

So. Yeah. Anyway. Ancestry says Judy Garland is my 8th half cousin. Rain on that parade, ghoul demons.

Dear Isabelle, today I should be looking forward to picking you up later & having some garden time in the sun. Instead, I attended court where the coroner opened your inquest because of significant concerns with your care.I love you & wish you were here 💔 lancs.live/news/lancashir…

@fionagoddarduk keep up the amazing work👏🏼 You have my utmost respect. Thank you ✊🏼

@criminographer What a little diamond. Keep going Ems, you are helping so many others including me. They would be immensely proud of their amazing mam 💙✊🏼

My beautiful girl. The most gorgeous blue eyes, full of mischief, kindness and love. I'm so lost without you. X #grief #childloss

@HeatherBo63 I agree, voices tell us a lot about a person. Have a good night 😁✊🏼

@JonjayNeedham1 I know you are. I experience you as a ‘gentle giant’. To me, a voice is so important to paint a picture of the complete person. I feel I know you better, now. 😊

Back in my garden today & loving it! ☀️🪏🪴💙 I'm not living my life in hiding for no one!✊🏼 I'll also live where i chuffing well like, thank you that person yesterday who doesn't want people like me in 'her village'.🤣 I thought i'd say hi in my first video 🙋🏻‍♂️🌻 #ThisLittleLad

@HeatherBo63 Thank you Ev, Very kind of you to say that. I'm usually quiet so don't do much video. I hope you are having a good Monday 🙏🏼💙✊🏼😁

@JonjayNeedham1 Oh Jon. How lovely to hear your voice. You’re a dear man. A sweetheart. There are an awful lot of horrible judgmental people around. Sending a hug. Xx

@warriormum71 Very kind Rach, thank you 🙏🏼💙✊🏼😁

@JonjayNeedham1 What have I just read?? Sorry to be so rude Jon, but some human beings are absolute pieces of shit 😒 i would be honoured to have you as my neighbour 🫠 lovely to hear your voice, I can imagine you have found a tremendous amount of peace in your beautiful cottage, so deserved ❤️

@gabbysgran Thanks Linda 🙏🏼💙✊🏼

@JonjayNeedham1 Hi Jon , you’re looking great, I love roses, 🌹 thank you for being you , stay strong 💪, 🥰🤗🙏

@SarahJH7777 Thanks Sarah 🙏🏼💙✊🏼

@JonjayNeedham1 Lovely to see you out gardening! Wildlife and nature are the best therapy and you’ve got a beautiful space there to enjoy away from any judgement. People can be such brainless idiots. Stay strong 🌳 🌺 🐝 🦋

@hiheal 🤣🙏🏼💙✊🏼

@JonjayNeedham1 He still has his gorgeous smile :)

This little lad spent every bit of energy he had just to try to be like other kids. He was never going to be allowed to be 'normal'. He faced bullying & discrimination on top of the abuse he faced in 'care'. That little lad was me🙋🏻‍♂️ The discrimination still continues years later!

@AngelEy02283417 Thank you🙏🏼 I appreciate you sharing your experience's too ✊🏼💙🙏🏼

@JonjayNeedham1 Dear Jon as a victim of child abuse myself I have also been treated like a paria years ago ,we have nothing to be ashamed of ,that woman can’t stomach the thought of child abuse but blames it on us the victims ,we ,,,taint,, society,we mustn’t talk about it 🙏❤️🕊angel

@garbagepale78 Thanks Kerry, I hope you ate doing well 😁🙏🏼💙

@JonjayNeedham1 Wow the sense of entitlement and lack of empathy that would allow anyone to say that is terrifying . I’m sorry you experienced that and glad that you are not letting it impact you Jon . I’d rather have 100 of you than 1 of her in my village (I really do live in a village too ha)

I moved to the country recently, I was pottering in my garden this afternoon, someone approached me & said 'not sure we want people like you in our village', she had read the article below about a part of my life. As if survivors need permission to live! Truly ludicrous opinion.

@SebastienneL Hiya Sebs, someone decided after reading my story they did not want me living in the village. Like i'm gonna listen to her! 🤣

@JonjayNeedham1 Morning Jon. What on earth happened? 🤔
