Kevan @kevanm.bsky.social · 15hCuriously, I recently got talking to a woman in one of Kings Cross's many cocktail bars, and she had served in the Met in the 80s. We compared notes of what Kings Cross WAS like, compared to the dandified attraction it is now. And yes, we giggled at the thought we were enjoying cocktails right there 010

Kevan @kevanm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026One lad I met, who had been in ‘care’ in Australia in the 60/70s had pretty much been incarcerated as though in prison with a form of hard labour (tough love?). He was broken & confused, potentially terrifying, apart from his love of the bible, his only reading matter as a child. Dickensian. 101
Kevan @kevanm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The ‘care’ aims of the 50/60s were very much about cleanliness & discipline, & little else. They were very much punished for their otherness. 101
Kevan @kevanm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026He had once temped at the Met Police, & wore a MET tie from then on. His tragedy was a craving to belong but no skills to engage with others. Desperate to please but lonely. 101
Kevan @kevanm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026One signature characteristic of those from childhood’s in care was the insecurity, & a need to belong. I worked briefly with an ex Barnado Boy, who was not only compelled to tell his life story the moment we met, but was desperate to identify with his place of work. He liked uniforms, or insignia… 111
Kevan @kevanm.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In an uncertain world, there is no reassurance when the POTUS has no more idea about what is going on than we do. He just reads the headlines & makes an uninformed guess like everyone else. Dearie me… 000
