Nicky is the reason I have had a small modicum of understanding for the last few years about what it's like to be vulnerable and poor in modern Britain. There are so many aspects the well meaning but often ignorant celebrities giving advice seem to overlook, I never understand why they don't get insight and advice from those for whom disability is their daily reality.
As for this era of Covid-19 lockdown, I have friends who have underlying issues that mean that death is the most likely outcome of then catching the virus, yet they have been unable to obtain a coveted online delivery slot. They are at the mercy of kind friends and locals to ensure they don't starve. It's horrific.

I always love reading Nikky's writing!
