On Tom and Joanne
27th August 2018
I first met Tom in 2002, when we were training to be Samaritans. We hit it off instantly, sharing private jokes about other volunteers and making each other laugh (whilst helping the suicidal, obvs). I could see that alongside his biting wit here was a serious, compassionate man, a deep thinker, and someone who loved a mass debate (he’d appreciate that joke).

Welcome friends and enemies alike.
I write monthly essays for these people. Most recently I focused on the impending extinction of the wild tiger.
