Special shoutout to my delivery driver who left me a voicemail, thought he hung up - and then had potentially the biggest mare of all time. Redacted his name to protect his identity but if he reads this - he’s my hero.

@BristolCouncil @TRESAcic @BristolCouncil please could you reply to this? Thank you

@BristolCouncil @TRESAcic Can you confirm when this will take place please? Residents tell me they’ve been told this for weeks. Thank you.

@BristolCouncil multiple reports on Fix My Street re this growing pothole on Pylle Hill Crescent but nothing done yet. Can you provide updates for residents? @TRESAcic

@ejtayloruk Hi Emma please could you drop me an email on thea.rickard@global.com? I'm a journalist with LBC who followed this case and would like to hear your thoughts.

My thoughts continue to be with the victims of this horrific case, and the life they now face because of the trauma they have been inflicted by Bennett. I also send my thoughts and strength to the parents of those children, how awful. I am never surprised by news such as this. These cases happen every day across the world, this is a fact that no-one seems to want to hear about. A reality that people feel sickened by today, but this case is not a new case - just last week there was news of Ruben, a summer camp leader charged because he drugged the boys he abused. I hear cases like this all the time, and even younger cases. It is horrific every day, trust me! The HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT message of CSA is off the scale, wake up people. It isn't nice, but surely understanding today the risks around children will help to reduce these cases, protect children and raise safeguarding. Bennett must never come out of prison. Personally I feel prison is to nice a place for such a human. If he doesn't get 100 life sentences I would fight for it!
