Today I went to Bill's funeral. He was 71 and I was his oncologist and friend. Bill was one of the 10,000 men every year in the uk diagnosed with #prostatecancer too late to be cured. Hr had been having "well man checks" for years none of which included a psa.

I have today telephoned to claim my State pension as I will be sixty six in November to be told that I will not be receiving it until July 2027, when I will be closer to sixty seven. I have just telephone my local MP Martin Wrigley to voice my complete and total disgust at this. The WASPI women have been deprived of years of State pension and promises broken, and I am right on the cusp as born in 1960. It seems to me that if changes are made then the first people who should know about them are those they will affect. My husband had no idea of this either and I wonder who else had. I could not be an MP at present and honestly maintain that I was an honest, caring, dedicated person. What a disgraceful legacy to leave. A justice system which steals from its hard working citizens, a State pension where apparently the contract between citizen and State can be altered to suit others and MPs who sit idly by and allow it to be so. I love my home and I love my husband and friends. But this country? I would not want my name ever appearing as someone who had any degree of power at this time because it would clearly state that whilst the State committed some of the worst crimes there are, in the form of gross persecution of its citizens and open theft of their money honestly made, I sat there and made another meaningless speech. Some of us are much more than that, and we recognise that far from counting ourselves superior people, we are likely to go through life being utterly devastated at the low down and blatantly criminal standards others calling themselves "leaders" will contentedly agree to, whist booing and cheering in parliament like those who in reality have nothing to offer whatsoever. I wasn't born here. I was born in Africa, but have always counted myself British and proud as my family were Colonialists who, contrary to the re writing of history again to suit others, apparently want it written down differently. My grandmother was South African by birth but apparently because she is white this is not possible. My beautiful Gran just laughed at that. I miss her. I decided something today. One day I am leaving Britain to stew in its own fetid juice and hub and I are heading for our real home, where people live decently, honestly and treat people properly. Where such a place may be I don't know, but I am told it exists and that others will show us the way. Our daughter and those we love are coming with us, and of course, some are already safely there. A proper country looks after its citizens and does not lie to them or deceive them. It does not tread them into the ground, deceive, cheat and steal from them. So disgusted I can barely breathe. If it were only this, it wouldn't hurt so much, but so much does. We destroy the innocent by accepting a corrupted police force and greedy dishonest lawyers, we destroy beautiful children by allowing evil Social services to lie with impunity and we torture our best men by accepting obvious unrealities told against them. Meantime Jeremy Bamber, Clive Freeman are treated to a living death and Lucy Letby watches her life go by as the "Crown" puts a woman like Vera Baird into the CCRC. If ever someone was appointed to ignore those crying out at what their country has permitted, it was her. The shame at being part of this is too much. I was once a proud Brit. Now my future depends on knowing that one day those I love and I will simply walk away, never to return. Let those who want to hurt, injure and treat others as apparently our present MPs think fine, simply get on with it. We'll be heading elsewhere, away from those whose standards shame us to death. A case of "Goodbye" not "Au revoir". Sick at heart. What hope for our children when this is the example set by those who call themselves "leaders"? Our poor, poor children. @MartinWrigley @DavidDavisMP @RobertJenrick @KemiBadenoch @Agnes2 @moor_facts @AlgernonParry @UKinjustice2025 @Mscjervis @andyburnham
