If I see just ONE MORE PERSON in this Country tell me there's ANY reason for NOT isolating when they've got Covid OR any other communicable diseases, imma find them AND THROW THEM IN THE FUCKIN SEA.
There's foodbanks. They deliver, and if not, ask your local Councillor for help.
It's IMMORAL & downright SELFISH to go around spreading ANY illness that can KILL others - including flu as well as Covid, monkeypox, chickenpox...
And it is PERFECTLY plausible to not go outdoors while poorly; I've had to Shield since February 2020. I go out once a month. I
can do EVERYTHING from my home, for 27+ days in a row. Isolating for a few days is the BAREST MINIMUM COMPASSION we should show our fellow human beings, particukarly those of us that are #CEV.
Come at me with exvuses as to why ANYONE can't do it, and imma SCREAM AT YOU.
Losing some wages or a job is better than being a KILLER.

Disabled easyJet passenger dies 'falling down escalator' at Gatwick Airport
Their assistance didn't turn up, so they tried to make their own way. I said just DAYS ago that there would be accidents if this wasn't sorted. This is because Disabled people
are ALWAYS an afterthought, our safety is NEVER put first...
This SHAMES our entire Country...
We saw other Disabled people being left on planes for HOURS cos their assistance didnt turn up - one even had to threaten to call 999 to get firemen to help him off.
An unnamed source says it's due to staff shortages, but the airport denies that...given all the issues we've seen
Royal Mail workers to vote on strike action that could cripple deliveries
A 2% 'pay rise' is a REAL-TERMS PAY *CUT* when inflation is running at 9%, and is expected to hit 11% by the end of the year. #IStandWithRoyalMail@CWUnews
rise that MEETS OR EXCEEDS inflation, especially when Royal Mail made QUADRUPLE the pre-pandemic profit of £726 MILLION. Thats £726,000,000. And they're refusing to budge from a 2% pay offer.
This is PREDATORY GREED from bosses at this point, and we need to FIGHT for workers
Social Care needs a MASSIVE funding boost, given the ENORMOUS budget deficit caused by 12yrs of deliberate underfunding.
We also need Private Care bosses to #PayCarersProperly to end the shortfall. If people can earn MORE doing
jobs like shelf stacking, with little responsibility other than ensuring the shelves are stacked & 'faced out'...then they're NOT going to want to take a role where they earn LESS to take on the life & death responsibility of Care work, are they?! ESPECIALLY when the Gov't keeps
Worker strikes 'not easy to organise' and need 'burning sense of injustice'
@The_TUC Are DEMANDING a fair wage for work. That meets or is above inflation. Workers DEMAND a decent standard of living, and to be brought out of poverty. 4 MILLION kids in
poverty, most have a parent in work. Foid bank use going up & donations going down are leading to them running out of food & having to close without helping everyone that needs it. Teachers, Care Workers, Retail Staff, even our NURSES having to use food banks. 8.5 MILLION in
poverty by the end of this year. Our PM deciding he doesn't need ethics oversight. Why? A summer of attempting to Union-break forthcoming??
Workers have a RIGHT not to live in poverty. So do the Disabled & Elderly. (Until they take that away too, as @DominicRaab says he
Dad dies in front of kids after 'disgusting' ambulance crew left him at home
An ambulance crew wrote off a strangulated umbilical hernia that KILLS someone cos they decided he was an alcoholoic & didn't 'deserve' hospital treatment. This happens more
than you think; ALL medical staff attitudes to addiction & the addicted STINKS...you get the same LACK of treatment if you have a diagnosis of NEAD, which causes seizures. I have epilepsy, but when I was MISDIAGNOSED as having NEAD, I was left seizing to fall off a trolley with
no sides, told to stop wasting their time & to stop 'putting it on'...now I'm dxd with epilepsy, MOST of the time, that's treated reasonably, but due to the treatment & attitudes I faced while misdiagnosed were DISGUSTING. I really feel for those with addiction issues, or
My phone has finally fucked up - I can go online but I can't call ANYONE cos I can only hear THEM when I'm on speakerphone, THEY can only hear me when I'm NOT on speakerphone, and NO FUCKER HAS THE PATIENCE FOR ME TO FLIP BETWEEN THE TWO.
I can't even call the GP & I'm in
FLOODS of tears cos I simply have NO WAY to access a new phone.
I just CAN'T with this useless stupid fuckin half-life I'm left to live like an abused aminal...
If I was a dog, I'd have been euthanised fuckin YEARS ago. Not ONE official department will give me the support I'm
supposed to get, I'm only able to shower once every 6 weeks, so I've got constant skin infections, can't change my sheets without Carers so they stay on for 6 months at a time, barely eat cos I'm so poor, foodbanks aren't able to supply me with food I can actually EAT, MH refuses
