In Manchester JRM was confronted by someone trained as a youth worker who lost his job due to cuts.

This made me weep to be honest. Youth work undervalued. People with disabilities undervalued too.

Deeply depressing.

It is, and it's all the worse when someone is so very ill and suffering, and is treated like a waste of space by unkind staff.

It doesn't take much to have compassion does it? I often think think people in this country care more about animals than they do about people.

Oh Miss A, why do people make a dreadful, stressful situation worse, how do they sleep at night? We are slowly rapidly heading back to the poor house and parish relief where claimants will be assessed by the great and good to see if they are deserving or not. Why on earth do people keep voting for more of the same?
