‘Letting you know what’s happening at 6:39 this morning. I’d like to thank the NHS for everything they’ve done. It was really moving last night, everyone was banging on the doors and the windows. Coming in to give us medicine and methadone. I always say thank you to them in the morning. I do realise most staff are doing an awesome job. People think we’re scumbags but we’re not. We are humans who have families so we do appreciate the NHS. Hope everyone is ok, my family is ok. Everyone get through this.’
