So the Express and Mail are condemning this action by P&O. Why? They've been saying for donkeys years that workers have too much protection. This is what they wanted. Government ministers are also condemning it. Again, why? Barry Gardiner tried to make Fire and Re-Hire illegal (as it is in France, Spain and Ireland) but his bill was talked out by the Tories. This is what they wanted. Why is anyone shocked by this?
If anyone ever needed evidence of the non existence of any benign supernatural supreme being, dementia has to be it. If I am ever afflicted with it I hope I have enough self awareness and courage left to do something about it before it gets too late.
I am so sorry Stainsey, you have reduced me to tears. I feel so sad about the whole situation. It is so wrong that you and your partner were attacked, but yes she had no idea and was so frightened. Dementia is the absolute pits. I fear it it greatly. My parents died in old age compus mentus. But my husbands side have it. One Christmas day, my mother-in-law got very vicious when she accused us building an upstairs floor on her bungalow (she was at our house) and replacing all her possessions with our crap. We got the medics out and they managed to sedate her...but she was vicious and nasty in front of my then small children. They still "laugh" about it now...She went through the house shouting "wheres my plates", my hubbie trying to placate her and being pushed and shoved away...and the girls and I cowering in another room. I honestly do not know how you and other medics do your jobs. My heart bleeds for you...but also Stainsey...thank you.
Like x 20 As I said to G……dementia truly is the saddest and hardest thing I deal with in this job….and it still brings me to tears. I’m getting too soft with age.
Jeez Stainsey, just reading about your exploits, hope you're ok mate and your colleague is feeling better...... Dementia is a real bastard of an illness and there's no cure only coping mechanisms, I see it when I go into the care home where my mother is and the staff are wonderful but you just know that some of the patients can turn in a split second....... Not only do you deserve everyone's gratitude for what you and your colleagues do, but also shed loads of cake..... Stay positive mate, you are making a difference........
