She obviously felt that he deserved a second chance. She did all she could to give him that chance. I would suspect ( and I have only met her once briefly) that she wont tolerate any more relapses. I also know gang members - quite a few over the years in fact and know how difficult it is for them to break the chains but with support it can be done. Its not easy but everyone deserves support when they want to turn their lives around. Many of my mates who have been gang members have gone on to be wonderful members of society. So yet again I say that knowing both sides of the social equation makes her well placed to make decisions that will be underpinned with commonsense laced with compassion but served on a no- nonsense plate. So I remain supportive of having a Minister of Social Welfare who has walked the hard streets of suburbia.euminedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07429294019936017390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686354713190138224.post-75283891923940847962009-02-02T15:39:00.000+13:002009-02-02T15:39:00.000+13:00Hey anonymous of 15.31.
