Böcker av John Beirne

This is not a "Once upon a Time" story. It's all about someone's life.Brought up in a Council estate, in the 70s when freedom of speech existed in all its racist/bigoted forms, the author was bullied for being gay. He was kicked and punched.He became a multi-award winning hairdresser and was elected for the Town hall for over 20 years and became Mayor. He raised thousands of pounds for charities and worthy causes (and still continues doing!)At age of 57, he was charged with historical sex offenses and a Police taped interview claimed he was 12 years old at that time.The press and the Facebook had one-sided views with no real facts.This book was an opportunity for the author to set the records straight.Funny, heart-breaking, ups and downs. Perhaps it's a story not to be shared. It is mentioned on the cover, "DO NOT READ IF EASILY OFFENDED" (but some people will get offended).This is my life, I have lived it. Hairdressing, Politics, Scandals - this book has it all.Read the book and get on with the life and do not make the mistakes I did.
