Dear Kate - I don't know what email to use so please accept this method of registering my interest to become a writer for TD.

I have a blog running since 2007 - https://theylaughedatnoah.blogspot.com/ - and my own Substack account - https://rolfnorfolk.substack.com/.

I also write for The Conservative Woman https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/author/rolf-norfolk/ and the Bruges Group https://www.brugesgroup.com/blog/blogger/rolf .

For now I should like to offer a story tip. On Sunday we were with friends near Barnt Green - a fairly well-to-do area - and they told us of an epidemic of shoplifting. One small fashion shop recently lost £2,500 of goods in a week. They know who it is, and showed evidence to the police, who failed to do anything. The thief is local and gives the CCTV camera a cheeky wave as he passes. So it's not just poor kids 'steaming' through Oxford Street stores. Perhaps you can put out your feelers about the breakdown of law and order in middle-class areas?
