Cliff Jones, my brother. A completely one of a kind, kind soul. Left us suddenly on Sunday night. He put us, his family first above himself and everything else. He loved us all and couldn’t bare any bullshit in fighting that comes with big families. He would literally stand in front of a bullet for me, nothing i needed was ever a problem even if it was he’d never let on. I adore you Cliffy, Biffo, El Gitano, Political Sniper, Wogie… You’re the best big brother and I love you so much … when I was 3 you nicknamed me ‘four’, then ‘Chunky’ and our mums maiden name O’Brien because I was a tubby constantly snacking little fucker… your spoofing and relentless teasing to all of your siblings is the stuff of legend… Absolute macho strong man but the softest most thoughtful person if you were lucky enough to have on your side… you are missed already by everyone who knows you and we all just can not believe you’ve checked out so soon. I hope you are with Mum, Dad, Linda and Uncle Cyril and all of your friends who’ve gone ahead 💔💔💔 Love Alison (aka Chunky O’Brien / Four) RIP Cliff 63 forever.

Happy International Women’s Day to all and to all the supportive, strong, kind, funny and wonderful ladies big and small in my world 💛 #iwd2023 #womensday #boldbunny
