  • Anything Goes with James English Ep 5593 Lucy Connolly.

    How articulate Lucy Connolly is. She has suffered under a system that should be impartial & not political, the law. Well done for coming through the other side. You had suffered so much in your life & still live the best you can. All the best going forward now!

  • Let down all these years

    Following James’ conviction I feel let down by the narrative and rhetoric he led me to believe. Particularly as a father of two girls. The best thing he can do, is donate any profits of this podcast to victims of domestic abuse.
