[@janehassall8171]

@anglerred Thank you for your lovely comment. It is heartbreaking what a so called Labour government have done to their own people. As a country we have always appreciated what we had, and over many years we have contributed to loads of different causes. There are a lot of people in the community working tirelessly to supply cheap meals, a cup of tea and a talk in a warm environment, and offering help where they can. For a country to treat its elderly and most vulnerable in this way is evil and frightening. I worked on an elderly care ward serving the food and refreshments in our local hospital, and on our ward patients were getting ready to be discharged. However that would be delayed as many smaller hospitals have been closed and that is where they could go for rehabilitation and to free beds in the bigger hospital. If parents aren’t well enough to go home, then some may go into a care home which takes time to process and to find an available one. We had a Normandy Veteran and a Land Army lady as well, who I would love to listen to their tales. It infuriates me that the government don’t recognise the sacrifices this generation made, and how disgustingly they are treating them. My husband is 68 and I am nearly 66 and we daren’t think how we will be treated when we are even older. Many people realise that we are facing a mountain to climb to change things back to any form of normality. We count our blessings as we sold our property last year), before it was taken off us to pay for long term care), so we are fortunate compared to a lot of people. We now rent but fear that the Sheriff of Nottingham will attack our savings! Robin Hood where are you? My husband has health conditions, but at the moment I am well enough to stand up and be counted, so I am willing to stand up to injustice. If we don’t face the tyranny, I dread to think what is coming next. I certainly hope we can fix it. Regards,Jane.
