  • I found out about Benjamin from Peaky Blinders, but I had started to become really fond of his work and poetry quite recently. So when I saw that he had passed away I was genuinely heart broken. The world has lost one of its heros, what a kind, funny & inspiring person. Rest in peace Benjamin Zephaniah 🙏

  • I will have to say, I love you too Mr. Howard. Not sure on the wrestling part 😊 out of respect for your marriage and your wife. But, I wouldn’t mind having a beer or whatever at a pub somewhere and just chat. I believe there is something genius with your humor and it would come out in your daily thinking and talks. Also, because you can make me laugh like only my own son can. You were (and still are) one of my go to comedians as well Mr. Howard. You had gotten me through some dark hours with my cancer battle (2010-2012) and for that I am forever grateful and I thank you. From a # 1 fan… Have a great holiday season with your family. 🍾🥂

    • You're missing the point. Well meaning troublemakers stir the complacency within us. We're not talking about knife/gun welding maniacs, but those who use their courage and intellect to shine a light on those matters most of us just sit on our arses and sitting on our hands merely blowing hot air from both ends about, doing absolutely nothing. The likes of Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, the Suffragettes.....all deemed as troublemakers. RIEP brother Benjamin🤎💯🇯🇲
