London Visit with WASPI sash

Would have been my mothers birthday today and feeling her spirit around me.  She would have been over a 100 yrs old.  I was my mothers "menopause" lol as she thought....but me kicking around in her was happy surprise that she was pregnant 17yrs after having my step brother... My mother was a young girl when the suffragettes won Votes for Women. I had to go in to London today to meet with a friend in Haymarket.  So as my WASPI pledge wore my suffragette sash every time I go out. .  This I will do (and encourage ALL women born in 1950s to do so...)  till this darn PM Theresa May wakes up and realises how many votes her party will lose if they keep ignoring our voices and our pain. 
SHAMEFUL TO TREAT GRANS LIKE THIS AND ROB US OF OUR STATE PENSION.

The sash got folk talking on Trains at bus stops and on buses.  From Colombian tourists, to family lawyer to passengers on the train and shopkeepers... there is wide concern as to the UK government doing this to hardworking women that have paid tax all their lives.... There is alarm and anger as the public realise that TV news channels are not covering our plight.  There is alarm that TV are either ignoring the issue or being told to mute telling the nation of this unacceptable situation.  

I am walking badly nowadays with increasing arthritis in my knees,  I am going forgetful with the stress I am in fact ageing quicker with the dam situation I am facing.  I have had all welfare stopped....This is not the country I want my motherland to be treating the elderly and vulnerable like this... NOR is it what my mother fought for! TIME TO LISTEN MRS MAY!
