Does anyone else think we have got to that perfect storm situation , everyday theres something else piled on to people by the bunch of incompetents in government , lets take £20 a week off struggling folk then tell them in the next breath that their fuel costs are going up £140 . Fuel , if you have to drive to work youre adding hours to your day looking for it . Telling people to work more hours while the low paid get to keep a mere 63p of every hour worked . Im glad we are old and decrepit, but for the kids generation its just knock after knock , everywhere they look , no light on the horizon . Mental Health is getting hammered into the ground , best you will get is a packet of pills from your email to the GP , nobodies going to even ask whats the matter its just accepted that everybody's depressed . Latest one is interest rates the younger generation have no idea where this is leading, those of us who are older remember the interest spiral back in the day , where the repossessions were on every street.
So lets remember its women who suck it up and get on with it mainly ,but its men who end up hanging from trees because they dont ever like to admit theyre broken inside . So hug your bloke remind him your there and the problems are yours as well . Be there for your other half because you never know the life and soul off the party has often had enough
I think the problem will lie in the fact that we have the strength to carry on as we've been through hard times, but the young today have had everything laid at their feet and will find it tough to give up their luxuries.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the mental health issue, I know people who are falling apart over the virus stuff.

I do think the lets throw in a plague was a tad extreme in the face of everything else. Just flicked into the local news and our hospitals are full , please dont go to them
DeleteI really struggled last year, no contact with anyone, my tv didn't work, too deaf to hear phone calls or radio, no access to zoom or anything similar, stroke club closed so no volunteering. Steve is always depressed and got worse. Now I get to do it all over again.
ReplyDeleteThat time of year again isnt it when the nights draw in and youre sat there with the other half driving you mad hour after bloody hour.
