Oi, put that in your paper!

What do you like best about Southwark?
I think there's a lot of variety of places to visit which are important landmarks of London, for example Tower Bridge.

What is your favourite place in Southwark?
Gleason's gym. The main gym is in New York which is where Muhammed Ali trained.  It's my hang out, where I spend a large portion of my time. 

What would you like to change about the borough? 
I'd like to see more activities within the area with a famous person who could draw people in.  I'd like to see an indoor football area or maybe a multi-sport day.

Do you think it is acceptable for a politician to claim £1,645 for a duck island?
I think that the way society is off course people in power are going to take advantage. The thing that needs to be done is people being honest and not letting it happen again. 

Would you pay to eat out in someone's home?
It's a new concept called the 'underground restaurant'
I like the novelty concept, I'm game for a laugh. I'd pay for that, it'd be something I'd do with a group of mates. 

How do you feel about the 24 year old mother with seven kids who receives £24,000 per year in benefits?
How are you going to raise seven kids very well unless you're supermum? If she's doing if for the money it’s wrong. It depends on her motives for having the children. 

What do think about the statistic that one in ten men and one in six women are on the brink of alcoholism?
It shows the stress that there is today in the job place. People will look for avenues to vent it.
I do it through sport and academia, some people look towards booze as an easy option.
