Parliament today

Been in parliament today.... dropped off a 3 page letter of issues to be addressed to John McDonnell in Derbygate. but did try to lobby John on the major campaign to get a Strong and Stable pathway of support for the long term recovery and life build of DV victims or as my group counsellor says DV "Survivor"..... we need the DWP to keep the support with no drops in that support while she detoxs from the violence and abuse upon her whole being. The letters and abrupt stop of benefits could result in the loss of a woman's life. She could turn back and return to the perpetrator thinking she cannot make it alone and the next beating be her murder or she could commit suicide with the post traumatic depression she is going through. Feeling so being worthless from a system that now is battering and abusing her with its withdrawal of support, is a common feeling. So instead of a system supporting her well being, the failing system augments the pain, so she feels she can never escape the effects on her whole being. It simply cannot be right that women are getting hassled by bailiffs from local councils because housing benefit and my case of an eviction order as a 63yrs old DV survivor with pin and plate in my arm to be evicted from my OAP Sheltered bungalow...... Where is the State Duty of Care for women as per UN directives to keep her safe and help rebuild her life after the perpetrators foul deeds - which includes financial abuse and crippling her with no funds. All that walk on this land pay tax to services that support those in need. I personally have paid tax since 1969.... I am forbidden my State Pension as I was born in 1954 so not permitted my pension till 2020. It would be the simplest solution to pay me my State pension. I try to get paid posts, I try to find funding for projects...I try and try but still get battered back with the system. 

I spoke with the TV and Radio crews today to see if anyone would give me an interview given the Queens Speech covered Domestic Violence but no connecting that the DWP needs a policy review to NEVER drop support of a woman till she has her self confidence to enter the job market ... where she can be strong to be a major asset to a company or organisation as she heals and regains her self worth. But never ever should support on the journey be abruptly stopped. I did not get an interview but one ITV reporter says she would like to follow up my story. 

I talked with our supporting police today and they as usual value and respect me and say Keep Strong Marjorie Keep Strong you will get the message out. I said I have to keep strong for women aside me and behind me that fall to violent manipulative controlling criminal perpetrators...
