I never felt right about evicting
Ahmed from the flat in London.
Now that it has been cancelled,
an unnecessary anxiety has been
lifted from his shoulders.
Mine don’t matter, I put it there.

19th December 2021.

Sorry for the distress I caused you
Ahmed.

Ps.


3 days ago I cancelled an eviction
order of a tenant in the flat I own in
London. It went against what was an
historic practice by the British during
their period of control in Ireland.
