Just like playground bullies, online trolls need to be stood up to and stamped out. If, for no other reason, for a kinder, more tolerant society, where everyone’s views can be heard and debated without fear.

With its elegant pier, Poet’s Walk along the cliffs, outdoor pool and clutch of independent shops, Clevedon in Somerset has plenty of charms.
With grand pillars, formal gardens, an orangery and gold-domed church overlooking a lake, not to mention one of the most beautiful fountains I’ve ever set eyes on, Witley Court in Worcestershire a vision of ghostly grandeur.
Lyme Regis will always have a special place in our hearts, it’s a seaside spot we return to again and again
