As Brits face into a long winter of lockdown restrictions, Ben’s mum Sam Gillies, 37, said the Glasgow schoolboy was just “saying what we’re all thinking”. 

She told the Daily Record: “He gave me his list after he wrote it and i just sat it to the side.

“It wasn’t until later on when I sat down and read it I saw what else he had written.

“I was a wee bit shocked at first, but then I just couldn’t stop laughing.

“He’s only saying what we are all thinking.”

She added: “I don’t allow him to swear but on this occasion I won’t be giving him into trouble.”

The mum shared Ben’s Christmas list to a parenting Facebook page – and most other parents agreed with the message.
