This is my dad. Been my dad since I was 2. Don’t know what the other one even looks like and I’m not interested. This is my dad. People always ask who I’m with. Just my dad.👍

So on this day 16yrs ago I woke up In Afghanistan, had no dream or vision. My own voice said I was going to die today. I shook the lads hand in my section and went out on patrol, into the darkness. As I was running behind someone I was propelled into the air. I hit the deck

Remember last year some lady, nice by the way but telling me that even though I was born in England I’m not English because I’m black. I can only say I’m black British. So on this day I wasn’t going to say anything but fuck it! I fought for this flag and people. My flag too!

This tweet cost me ££££. Can’t believe some British people have cancelled me for being proud to have fought for them. Suppose I’ll have to set up a Go fund me 🤦‍♂️. I won’t shut my mouth though. 🫡

Angry that I got blown up. Proud that I had the guts to become who I wanted to be. Even for just a second. 🫡

Lost two limbs In Afghan 08! Ran the London marathon in 09! Council took my disability badge off me because I ran. 13yrs later I’m in the same boat. Frustrating now as sometimes even though I hate to admit it. I could use it here and there just to help me out a bit. Idiots!

Albie’s 6 now. Little rascals been talking about me in school again as it’s that time of year. He told me this morning on the way that he told his class about me. I got blown up but didn’t cry. If anyone else did they’d have cried for 1000yrs. That’s why he spent money over the

Love you #PrinceHarry but you need to shut up! Makes you wonder the people he’s hanging around with. If it was good people somebody by now would have told him to stop.
