Dear Sir Gareth Southgate,
Video games aren’t an 'unhealthy alternative', they’re a force for good.
From keeping friends connected to boosting mental health, games inspire, educate and unite millions.
We are part of the solution we all seek.

This year I have committed myself to do more culture stuff. And by that I mean music and maybe a play but comedy. Have done Peter Kay and have just booked Chelsea Handler and Goodnight Oscar. Life can’t be all work.

It may be my age or my laptop but I have just tried to set up my Christmas present which is a Maschine Mikro Mk 3 and I honestly can’t even get it to turn on. So much software it’s so confusing.
