When Jacqui Haynes was a child, she had a habit of bringing strays back to the family flat in Ladbroke Grove, west London. Once she found a guy on the road who had taken drugs and was visibly distressed and paranoid. Haynes told him her mother would look after him.
“My mum would say ‘you can’t bring everyone home who has a problem, Jacqui,’” says Haynes, now 53. “‘They will rob my house!’”
