Since the bedroom tax was brought in she can no longer afford to buy her son a PlayStation 4 for Christmas.I think we should have a moment of quiet reflections and – stop laughing at the back..!
Miss Taylor, who describes the bedroom tax as “absolutely ridiculous”, suffers from fibromyalgia, arthritis, back and leg pain, two slipped discs, sciatica and depression which, she says, prevents her from working.And yet Douglas Bader flew in the Second World War on two tin legs…
I was suffering from sciatica when working at Sainsbury's. Given the work I was doing - stacking shelves - there were nights when I was in a great deal of pain. I got on with it.

ReplyDeleteAnd little Johnny will never know, since that bad old Government have taken away his bedroom subsidy, and can now no longer play a video game depicting violence and death.
What a heartless bunch they are in Government. Boo !

ReplyDeleteShe looks like a big strapping girl to me, not one but two slipped discs. Sciatica not nice but it can be over come as Mr Longrider points out, another case of welfare dependency. Surprised the reporter could keep a straight face with this one.

You can bet your bottom dollar, if Douglas Bader had been a coon, they would even have his DNA sequencing off by heart!
Just £3 a week could buy this poor child a playstation 4 for christmas but even his own mother told him to fuck off.

ReplyDeleteGrrrrrrr .....

Cry me a river
Neither can lots of WORKING parents love.
I wonder if it would have been quicker and easier, rather than typing out all her maladies, to lump them together and diagnose a possible case of Plumbum Pendulitis ; 0p
She should look on the bright side - she's saving £40-£50 a week not having to buy little Johnny the latest games.
ReplyDelete"I got on with it."
ReplyDeleteIt's no longer 'the modern way', sadly...
"She looks like a big strapping girl to me..."
Quite!
"Don't they all?"
Yup! The diagnosis of 'fibromyalgia' turn up a lot in these cases.
Is it, like Asperger's and ADHD, growing?

Is that not exactly what Esther (Does she smell of pear drops?)Rancid and her ilk are fighting for any way? "Get the bastards away from the computer/games?"
I've worked all my life and just above average income.
ReplyDeleteI have not been able to buy my own plane, yacht, mansion and own no islands.
Think of me this Christmas.....and no one else as i'm rather self-absorbed....cheers.
