It feels really empowering to wear the Suffragette sash every time I go out...despite feeling ageing with arthritic knees and exhaustion from the whole darn situation of being denied my State Pension and having DWP hassle.... Been down to the local library to print off the Parliamentary Ombudsman form to fill in for my MP & Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell to help present my case. We have a duality of issues not only the Pension situation but left penniless by my rogue Moroccan criminal perpetrator.... so been through a lot as you can read in my Women's Voices to be Heard blog where I have been campaigning for a strong and stable pathway of support for women survivors...
Wearing my Suffragette sash is really stimulating my neighbours to talk to me too about the pension situation. The are angry that Grans treated like this and very annoyed that our Shoulder to Shoulder rally was not on the mainstream TV news channels. They open up on their DWP problems too... My heart has just gone out to one man tidying his garden and how he is a carer for his wife with multiple medical problems of which Harefield Hospital is the prime caring team. He is having DWP hassle and been exhausted with the appeals he has put in and despite top consultant letters to support his case is struggling to get adequate financial support for his wife and children... I really do not want my motherland to be like this... Care, Compassion & Understanding is key to us helping one another as a nation. But everyone is feeling that their cries for help are falling on deaf uninterested government ears.... TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT to WAKE UP and in the Brexit Mayhem to see how citizens are feeling let down.
