A Conversation With My Father, Hannah Nicklin

A Conversation With My Father, Hannah Nicklin

This is a story about my dad (a retired policeman) and me (a protestor). It’s a story about fear, bravery, what it feels like to be kettled, SuperTed, the Lone Ranger, policing the people in front of you, and being sent out of class. It’s about working out what matters, and standing up to protect it. It’s about Them and Us.

It’s about me, and my dad.

There are also some jokes in it. Because serious things are worth laughing at a little bit.
