Thank you for your lovely letter. I think your husband is wonderful and he sounds like a sweet very morally good man and I do like the way you write.

I can learn so much from you.

I was having a bad hair day and my kittie hurt her leg too so I was nor feeling too good.

I think very highly of Richard Barnbrook. He is a honey too and with me has always only been protective and very very kind.I only wanted to say the best about him and I do say lovely things about people if I find the best in someone.

He has never ever said anything bad about any human being to me or ever said anything which sounded negative or hurtful to people and all I wanted to do was say the nice things about him.That is my opinon based on what I knew of him.

I have nothing bad to say about him and I cannot comment on how our friendship has evolved as you so rightly said here the best is to say nothing at all so I will simply say thank you for your wise words and you sound as lovely as your husband Paul.

I did and still do like the way he spoke to me and answered.You sound vrey happy and I appreciate your very thoughtful and gentle worlds

I wish you both happiness and your marriage sounds very beautiful too.You are blessed

You have made my day very happy today and even if this is no longer read by anyone I am happy that you brought me joy with your words and the kindness you showed to write to me knowing you and your husband have very busy schedules

take care and my sincere thoughts to you both

My name is Antonia Kelly, the wife of Paul who wrote this article.

My husband is a writer, he is not a political campaigner of any kind, nor is he the kind of man to invade your privacy. If someone is sending you bad things, you can trace them – and will find that my husband would never do that. He – sorry if this sounds blunt – has better things to do.

Paul appreciates any blog comment he gets, but this has gone too far now. This blog is no longer even on this page – it moved to Blogger months ago – and I only idly check the account to delete spam comments. This site is rarely visited since the move, and should you be having problems it is nothing to do with what you have written here.

My husband’s opinions of Barnbrook himself are substantiated and agreed with by many. I suggest, in future, if you wish to protect your privacy you do not leave long comments defending a controversial figure’s reputation and then include not only your name but links to work you have done.

I also sense that relations between you and Barnbrook have soured, and I am sorry for any grief he has caused you.

Thank you for taking the time to read Impotent Fury, and I assure you nothing that you have said on this blog is the cause of your problems.

Antonia Kelly.

Thank you

Ms Rosemary Ferraro

ps I am also not available on facebook or you tube or any site such as that any longer. I wish to keep my private life thank you.

I was not always as astute as she was – she always said journalists had a knack of sniffing out the real issues and I wish I had her sharp intuition.

I am too naive at times and am inclined to make mistakes about people

Wisdom and hindsight are always a good thing.

But I could say so much more here but to do so would give the game away so best I leave it at that and leave you to your excellent articles

I wanted to write and say perhaps I should have just read your article and said nothing at all

May you and all the media always portray the truth

that is what I feel is the best-keep vigilant – at all times-

I wish you and all the Media the best – thank you for this very insightful article you wrote- it also opened up my thoughts earlier and now again-

from Rosemary

Seems since I put this comment here I have had someone send me strange songs and threats at time on my you tube and then nice songs then bad ones and some days I wonder if I were wise to have said anything at all.

I have never had to be afraid to speak out or to stand up for what I believe in but now I am not so sure.

I was very good friends with Mr Barnbrook until he joined the GLA and I wrote these things based on what I knew of him and I knew him very well.

I only wrote nice things based on the person I spent time with and came to know and he was always so sweet but now he seems afraid to even talk to me so I am not sure if my article helped or upset him-perhaps best remove it if it will help him in his career not to have this praise from me.

i am working on more books and I would not want him being upset if I am not the person he wishes to have comments from as perhaps I meant well and he sees it differently I don;t know but i think best remove this if you can to help Mr Barnbrook as seems someone is not happy about me having known him.

I only helped him whenever he turned to me and yet it seems to have caused me problems so perhaps to remove my positive comments of him if it is such an issue.

I am writing books and seem to get threats too so I would rather not have all this unpleasantness as I am used to people being happy and really do not wish any problems for myself or him

My privacy has been compromised in some ways too lately on the internet and it makes me realise that perhaps it is best I just write about things which have no bearing on Mr Barnbrook.

Thank you

Ms Ferraro

I just want to add this

You mentioned you were only 29- my goodness me- you are so young- and against this information, that is really sweet that you say I am loyal and only 29- how lovely.

Oh I have been around much longer and travelled the world, and seen many places and met so many different people.

I enjoy talking to people as you have gathered just by this correspondence.

Well, maybe you would enjoy Italy, being the romantic you obviously are.

I love Italy too for holidays that is.

It is a romantic country.

I love writing about beautiful countries and places.

You may enjoy reading this today

Have a fun day.

Life should be fun.

from Rosemary

sorry I am rushing here so have typed this very quickly – apologies for any typing mistakes but have to run- and don’t have time to re read this – thank you and have a lovely day

could you write an article on Mugabe???

I think he needs to be torn to shreds with words on paper by a journalist- that man is getting away with murder- and there is a play on words !!

from Rosemary

We see so many marriages breaking up because of infidelity.

I loved the story of Grace Kelly and Prince Ranier because theirs was a fairytale marriage too. It seemed happy and they were married forever. Yet there aren’t too many marriages like that amongst the filmstars are there?

Henry the eighth is a classic example of a man who had many wives. Yes, I know the whole story of him wanting a son and that was his main reason for the betrayals, however, he did at times, fall hopelessly in love with one, only to fall out of love again, and he never behaved himself did he follow through with a fairytale ending? No he did not.

He was a King for goodness sake, he should have known better.

I watched the ‘Royal marriages’ series not too long ago on BBC. I was shocked to see how few of those people were committed and they should also have known better.

I agree with you totally.Commitment is the right word and unless one is totally committed it won’t work.

My late mother always said to me ‘Even if you do get engaged’ if you find later that you perhaps have made a mistake, best to get out of it.

I do like the way you said you are loyal and happy with your wife. That to me is the way marriage should be. You are blessed.

I myself, made a mistake of getting engaged and then I met someone while I was engaged and I thought ‘what is going on now?

Shakespeare was the greatest playwrite of all. Romeo was in love with Rosaline and madly in love, and then suddenly he met Juliet-[yes he was much younger, I agree, but love knows no age Sir]

Oh I am no expert on love. I am a romantic and feel that nobody is perfect., We are mere mortals who make mistakes and there is a saying ‘to err is human and to forgive divine’

The world is filled with people who ’should be committed and who should know better’

I read the tabloids and love nothing more than a romantic ending where they sail into the sunset and live happily ever after.

Every time I watch another romantic royal marriage, I think ‘Oh this is beautiful, I hope this lasts forever and I hope they are committed because they went ahead from the engagement and now into marriage’

I want to write my next book on the greatest love stories of all times but I am struggling to find examples of happy marriages. Yours is one I enjoyed listening to. I was happy when you wrote and said to me ‘Ms Ferraro, I am a happily married man and I am loyal’ that was really sweet. I like you too Sir!! I do see the good in people and you are ok- yes you made me angry with your article but I feel we have both said how we feel about these things and that is good to talk- very good indeed- if Mugabe could only sit and talk to the world and listen to, just imagine what a difference that would make but no, the man is not prepared to listen to anybody or to relent and I dislike Mugabe. I find him racist. I find him to be an example of a man who is utterly deplorable. He, to my mind, is the worst racist of all!!!

Look at what he has done to his ’so called people’???He is the man to be feared!! He is a tyrant!!Why is he not being written about?? He is the one who is evil !! He is the villain here let us shed some light on macabre characters oh he springs to mind without a doubt!!

I cannot find any goodness to redeeem Mugabe. He is the one I fear!!!

but we were talking romance and marriages so to end this on a happy note

…….

I agree with you and like the way you said you are happily married and you are loyal.

That is a positive sign in this correspondence we have had as it gives me hope that perhaps all of us can learn from this.

and to show what I stand for and what I believe in when I say I see goodness in people- in contrast to evil men like Mugabe, to my mind, Richard is a saint-

I like Mr Barnbrook, and yes he is a fiery tempered man, but he cools just as quickly too.He is a lovely man and he is doing a lot of good at the moment on the GLA. I don’t think he has the time of day to even date at the moment. I don’t think he knows what has hit him with the amount of problems that are facing London.

know he is doing all the right things – just yesterday I listened to him on you tube.

He is a kind man and has a heart of gold. I have to be honest here. I also feel many others are starting to listen to him. He wants what is best for the children in England and the main thing is that he is working flat out to solve the crime situation.

Thank goodness for that!!

I feel he deserves recognition for what he is doing and again I am focusing on all the good this man does.

One can only respect Richard if one reads his articles which he writes on the GLA webpage. He is doing good. THAT to my mind is all that matters!!

He says ‘I am worried about the elderly, I am worried that they do not have heating and that they are going to have hard times if these oil prices do not come down’

He goes on to say he is concerned and saddened by the number of children who are dying needlessly.

Just listening to this week’s videos of his on you tube, makes me more convinced that it is Richard Barnbrook who will turn London around. He with the other members of the GLA have a difficult road ahead and yet he is the one who is speaking out, and he is breaking his back, to change this crime situation and to eradicate it.

He is a man who cares about people. He is prepared to work right through the night to ensure all of us can sleep safely in our beds.

To my mind that is a virtuous man.

He is out on the streets, talking to people, asking them ‘Tell me how I can help, how can I make London safe for all of you out there.’

Well, I like that in him.

I love the way he worries about the elderly. I read that he is even wanting to ride in bike marathon to raise money to help the aged. How kind is that?

He has upset me at times – and yet he will always say to me ‘Rosy I am sorry if I snapped at you. I am under pressure at work and exhausted but I don’t want to make you sad’

But he has brought me so much happiness too. He makes me laugh as he is so humorous. If you sit in his company and chat to him he is very very sweet. I had drinks with him one night last year and the more he spoke the more I thought ‘I like this man. He is strong charactered and highly intelligent too. He knows how to solve the problems in London he should be Prime Minister with his outlook. But I had never met him before in my life and my mother had only passed away a few weeks before and I was still in mourning., It was August last year.

I chatted to him and he was so so comforting. I thought when I left him oh well, I will never see or hear from him again and that was that.

But sometiimes life has other plans.

He makes me laugh. Often I will be having a bad day and I will text him and say something to him and he will reply ‘what?????’ and say something so funny that I end up laughing so much and that is lovely.

To think he was there, when I had lost the most important person in my life. All women will agree with me- it is so so bad when one loses a mother- one’s mother is one’s link to everything.

I thought my life had ended when my mother passed away. She was a journalist like you, in her day and she also wrote articles like you, so yes, I come from that world too and I can fully support the work you do Sir.She lived in South Africa but was married to a Yorshireman. He also passed away two years before my mum passed away so the last four years in my life have been filled with grief and I lost my father at the age of 14. He was a fighter Pilot in the last world war and a brilliant surgeon.

But the last four years in my life were very difficult because I lost the most important people and there are many people out there, like me, who have lost loved ones, and there is nothing in this world than death.

Death is so final!!

But when she died I was heartbroken. Then I met Richard out of the blue. I never ever planned it. It just happened.

I laughed so much the night I met him. He laughed so much too. Oh he was so polite..He spoke to me about things I had never ever thought about. I was not into politics- I am a writer and travel is my passion.

But I listened to him and there was no anger in him when he shared his dreams of how he hoped England would be a safe country again.

He is a British gentleman and has old worldy values. He is different. He is outspoken yes, but I know him very well and a lovely person he is.

He brought sunshine into my world. He made me happy. He always brings sunshine into my day. He brings joy to the aged who are lonely and sick, and to my mind, that is a beautiful person outwardly and inwardly.

Anyway I have to end this long letter. I am writing a book here and you are a busy man too.

I have enjoyed talking to you and thank you for your thoughts and comments.

I am a romantic writer. Recently I wrote an article on Helium.com about love and marriage. Would you like to read it ?

I write under the name of Sarah Ferraro on Helium and Rosemary Ferraro for my other books and here is the link. I rushed it when I wrote it – sometimes I type so fast and rush things, and make mistakes as I speedtype but I hope you will enjoy it.

All my books are on google and I love writing about people and travel, but I do it for enjoyment and relaxation as I too am so busy and get bogged down by life.

I hope you have a lovely day today.

I think I must focus on writing my other books now.
