So proud to have been commissioned to write a new poem to mark this important day. It will play as people come to reflect and remember the impact of the pandemic on all of our lives. #Covid #stgeorgeshall #liverpoolcitycouncil #visitliverpool

Yeah. Not watching it. Can't abide gore. Still haven't recovered from watching first one. Actually, the best bits are NOT gore. When the poor guy pee'd himself going into the Colluseum. Proper empathetic little detail. Otherwise, not entertained.
