      Chris Chadwell in the UK

      • As a child in Cranleigh in 1960s
      • Stevenage in 1970s
      • Lodge Farm Junior School, Stevenage - happier days at a good, safe school
      • The Barclay School, Stevenage, home, in the 1970s, to some excellent teachers but regrettably, also imbecilic bullies - mostly within his own A1 class, several of whom should have been permanently excluded. CONGRATULATIONS to the vindictive pond-life who repeated the humiliations, over and over again. Reflecting on his life, better to have committed suicide - THEY WON. However, he has recently gained a remarkable insight into what happened to him; HE IS GOING TO FIGHT-BACK & NOT JUST FOR HIMSELF. Britain is not a civilised country; it was not in the 1970s and continues to not be, whilst parents permit their contemptible sons to behave in this way, to victims like Chris and many girls; having served as a school governor at a troubled secondary, he knows how disbelieving most reading this would be if they had sat on the exclusion panels he had.
