Seventy-One Year-Old Armed Man With Twenty Rounds Of 9mm Ammo Arrested

A seventy-one-year-old man has been arrested with a gun and twenty rounds of 9mm ammo while parked at an intersection near the Rayburn House Office Building just steps away from the Capitol in downtown Washington, DC.

Dennis Westover from South Charleston in West Virginia was arrested on various charges including having unregistered ammunition and unlawfully possessing a firearm.

He was arrested shortly before 2 pm on Wednesday in the middle of an intersection by Capitol Police.

They found the 9mm black Sig Sauer in his vehicle along with 20 rounds of ammunition.

NBC 4 investigative reporter Scott MacFarlane tweeted that he didn’t see any federal or DC criminal proceedings in this guy’s past.

The Rayburn building, named after former Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, is where 169 of the 435 members of the House of Representatives have their offices. The building is connected to the Capitol by a subway tunnel with two cars.

More than 20,000 members of the National Guard were deployed all over downtown Washington, DC in the days leading up to the inauguration of President Joe Biden on 20 January.

Seven thousand guards remained in the nation’s capital, and as many as 5,000 will stay at least through the end of March as a threat looms over the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.

And according to Politico, a 25 January memo said the National Guard will stay in continued support of District and Federal civil authorities during anticipated First Amendment demonstrations and Civil Disturbance in the District of Columbia.

In addition to DC’s National Guard, of which there are 3,400 members, troops from Maryland have been ordered to remain at least until 15 March and several units were still being asked to work 12-hour shifts as of Monday.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a national terrorism bulletin Wednesday, warning of the lingering potential of violence from people driven by anti-government sentiment after Joe Biden’s election, implying the 6 January riot on the Capitol may encourage radicals and set the stage for further attacks.

The department didn’t mention any specific plots but pointed to a heightened threat environment across the United States that it believes will continue for weeks after Joe Biden’s inauguration.

And it’s not unusual for the federal government to warn local law enforcement through bulletins about the prospect for violence tied to a particular event or date, such as July 4.

But it’s crazy that in America they have to be concerned with domestic terrorisms, and there appears to be increasing concern about the menace of terrorism, with fanatics that are triggered by political, racial, ethnic, economic, health and other grievances.

But twenty round of 9mm. Yes, of course, that’s a threat, but let’s not exaggerate when there have been reports related to Capitol invaders as having had dozens of weaponry at home and multiple thousands of rounds.

However, police also found ‘Stop the Steal’ paperwork and contact information for both US and West Virginia legislators in his vehicle, and according to police records, the man was agitated, yelling at National Guard members inside the Capitol fence line perimeter.

And the 71-year-old told the arresting officer that he wanted to see the fence that was around his Capital, and according to court records, Westover told detectives during an interview that he was concerned about the honesty and integrity of the election, and that now he listens to both sides.

The documents said Westover was cooperative during his arrest and questioning and he said that we have some polar extremes of opinion in this nation and that while he believed there was election fraud, at this point, it was a debatable subject.

Cosy Gives You Security

The comfortable sheepskin Ugg boot was inescapable at the height of its popularity, and now with the end of lockdown still some way off, love them or hate them, Uggs are back.

Maybe it’s the extreme sentimentality for a more simplistic time when WAGs and reality TV stars wore velour tracksuits tucked into Ugg mini boots or the overall need to feel comfortable and put together as more people work from home. Or perhaps it’s the cold weather, or maybe it’s all of the above.

But no matter how ridiculed they’ve been in the past, there’s no doubt that Uggs have made a comeback.

From Dua Lipa to Bella Hadid, celebrities and influencers across the board have been spotted wearing them.

Stormzy even made an unexpected fashion statement when he turned up in a pair of Ugg Tasman slippers for a BBC interview.

Fashion titan and former editor at large of US Vogue, André Leon Talley, is likewise a longtime fan of the brand, and he recently told Elle of his relationship with Ugg, saying that cosy gives you security. Cosy affords you to be comfortable enough to project your best self to the world.

In its quarterly report, global fashion search platform Lyst ranked Ugg’s classic ultra mini boots fifth in its top ten hottest women’s products in the world, alongside other major players in the more fashionable casualwear trend, such as Birkenstock’s shearling-lined Boston clogs and Sleeper’s Party feather-trimmed pyjamas.

In the men’s list, Ugg’s Scuff Deco slippers came in even higher at number three, and the report notes that Ugg’s Scuff Deco slippers are a popular gift choice for men, while the classic ultra mini boots, a cropped update to the classic mini II model have become the newly desired ‘It’ syle, having been spotted in bold hot pink on model Irina Shayk and in the brand’s signature chestnut on model Joan Smalls.

In the final quarter of 2020, shoppers sought comfort and protection, and slippers and clogs were highlighted as the breakout category, alongside the trend for 90s nostalgia and the rise in outdoor walking and socialising that has driven sales of active and casual wear, most prominently puffer jackets, which were the most popular products globally.

However, I must admit they look even better on the sheep, and they’re not very good for walking – good for keeping warm on a mobility scooter or in a wheelchair though, and they allow your feet to move around in them, which must have a knock-on effect on the skeleton and muscular system in quite a profound way.

However, high heels did damage to our feet, but we still chose to wear them.

So, not only are they ugly, pardon the pun, they’re also terrible for your feet and skeletal formation.

Aldi Wrecking Rampage

This was the moment when a woman smashed hundreds of bottles of alcohol and launched gin at customers in a rampage at Aldi.

She remained silent as she hauled thousands of pounds worth of wine, beer and spirits from the budget supermarket’s shelves in Hertfordshire on Wednesday afternoon.

On customer queuing to pay for his goods told her to calm down, prompting her to launch a bottle of gin at his leg.

The tumult shows a woman wearing a hoodie, backpack and mustard tracksuit bottoms, slip on bottles and slash her right hand. She then raised it in the air and carried on tearing the bottles down with her left hand.

A security guard from a nearby store detained her by bear-hugging her before she was arrested by the police at about 2.30 pm.

Telly presenter Lee Clark, 50, watched the drama unfold in Stevenage, Herts, and said that it was extraordinary and that he’d not seen anything like it before in his life.

He said that she didn’t say a word the whole time and had a very vacant look on her face, and that she must have smashed well over 500 bottles and that it was shocking and started getting incredibly dangerous.

She was taken to hospital for treatment to injuries to her hands and is now in police custody.

This woman was clearly having a meltdown and crying out for help, but at present, it’s not known what punishment she will get.

And did you notice it was a security guard from a nearby store that stopped her in the end? Brave man because it wasn’t even his job, and if this was to do with mental health, patients are supposed to have care, but now they’re wandering the streets.

Some are given positive support, such as medication, but often they get no help at all, yet medical professionals tell us they can live normal lives, and care in the community certainly isn’t working and has never really worked.

Social workers checking patients have been attacked and worse because who sees them take their medication? And this woman is clearly one messed up individual and needs help, but she probably won’t get it.

The trouble is the whole world has gone politically incorrect crazy.

Nobody endeavoured to stop her, not the security staff or anyone else, but surely common sense dictates that after the first few bottles were being smashed, somebody needed to step in, not only to limit the damage but to stop anybody from being harmed.

Bring back the good old days where anyone could help without fear of being politically incorrect – at least she was having a smashing time!

Doctor Dismisses Killing COVID Patients To Free Up Beds

A doctor in Italy has been arrested after allegations he killed two coronavirus patients to free up beds at the height of the pandemic.

Carlo Mosca, 47, has been accused of giving Natale Bassi, 61, and Angela Paletti, 80, fatal doses of anaesthetics at Montichiari Hospital near Brescia.

The incident supposedly took place in March last year, when Italy hit the headlines for shocking photos which showed COVID 19 patients lining hospital hallways.

Police are also investigating another three deaths after reports Carlo Mosca altered the medical records of patients who died, and he’s now been put under house arrest at his home in Mantua.

He refutes the charges against him, calling the assertions baseless, and legal records relating to the arrest have been released outlining the prosecution’s allegations against him.

They claim messages revealed nurses suspected Mosca of killing patients to make space in the A&E department he headed up.

Prosecutors maintain Mosca administered Succinylcholine and Propofol, which were typically used on the ward to anaesthetise COVID patients so they could have tubes inserted.

However, it’s thought the patients given the drugs never had tubes inserted, so they believe the use of anaesthesia was unnecessary.

The hospital saw a 70 per cent rise in orders of these drugs between November 2019 and April 2020, but only five patients were given tubes during that time.

An anonymous complaint was made at the end of April, and legal documents that contained WhatsApp messages implied that Mosca tried to get nurses to cover his tracks.

The nurses said in messages to each other: ‘Did he ask you to administer the drugs without intubating them?’, ‘I’m not killing patients just because he wants to free up the beds,’ and, ‘This is crazy.’

Prosecutors added that when he found out he was under investigation Mosca asked nurses to agree on a convenient version of the story while prompting them to declare falsehoods.

Lawyers also claim he asked co-workers to leave the room when he administered the drugs, and one nurse said that this had never happened to her before.

Natale, a diabetic who suffered from heart disease, died on March 20 and Angelo died two days later.

Mosca was charged with murder and distorting the death records, amid allegations that he edited the clinical data to make the patient appear terminal and therefore not to arouse suspicion.

If this is true, there isn’t a punishment that would be severe enough for this guy. Perhaps he believed he was doing a good thing. The difference being is that he’s now been arrested, so they must have some shred of proof – also the nurse’s suspected foul play.

And doctors have admitted that the most vulnerable patients could be refused life-saving care due to the lack of funding for the NHS.

Under a so-called three wise men protocol, three senior consultants in each hospital would be forced to make decisions on rationing care such as ventilators and beds, in the event hospitals were flooded with patients.

And medics have spoken out amid frustration over what one said was the Government’s dishonest spin that the health service was well equipped for a major pandemic outbreak, and the CQC said that do not resuscitate orders were made in the COVID wave and some may still be in place – this is unacceptable.

There’s also proof that unacceptable and improper do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation orders (DNACRPs) were made at the start of the pandemic and some may still be in place.

And an interim report from the government-commissioned review, the watchdog said it saw an uptick in complaints about DNACPRs through the first wave, receiving 40 complaints between March and September compared to only nine similar concerns in the previous six months.

Boris Johnson Says Schools In England Won’t Reopen Until March 8

Schools in England won’t reopen before March 8, Boris Johnson has announced as he dashed hopes of children returning after the half term.

The Prime Minister revealed that schools will not start reopening after the February break as earlier anticipated, and the announcement infers that lockdown will be in position for countless weeks to come because the Government has repeatedly pledged to schools being the first to open as measures are lifted.

It comes after Tory backbenchers and Labour MPs called for clarity over the return to school and raised serious concerns about the impact closures were having on children’s mental health.

And in a statement to the Commons, the Prime Minister said that if they reach their target of vaccinating everyone in the four most vulnerable groups with their first dose by February 15, and that every passing day sees more progress towards that goal, then those groups will have acquired immunity from the virus about three weeks later, that’s by March 8.

He then continued that they hope it will therefore be safe to start the reopening of schools from Monday, March 8, and he said other economic and social restrictions would be lifted thereafter as and when the data permits.

When the latest national lockdown was first announced, the Prime Minister said that schools would remain closed to the majority of children until the February half term.

Today he reiterated the need to give parents and teachers as much certainty as possible, including two weeks’ notice of the return of face-to-face teaching.

Boris Johnson added that he must inform the House that for the reasons he’s outlined it won’t be possible to reopen schools immediately after the February half term and that he knew how frustrating that would be for pupils and teachers who want nothing more than to get back to the classroom.

He continued that for parents and for carers who spent so many months balancing their day jobs, not only with homeschooling but also meeting the myriad of other demands of their children from breakfast until bedtime. He said that they will work with parents, teachers and schools so that pupils can make up their learning throughout this parliament.

Responding to the announcement, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said that what was important was that the government ensures that full reopening is done in a way which is safe and sustainable, and which inspires the confidence of education staff and the public.

But what should happen is that the pupils should get a repeat year and do some basic work at home for now so that they can stay up to speed.

People are having to work from home. Homeschool their children, look after younger children and other things – it’s like asking some parents to do three full-time jobs all at once, and it’s creating a lot of tension indoors, especially for those without a garden or those living in cramped conditions.

And Boris Johnson said in the Commons that schools were quite safe and then he closed them because he thought they were unsafe – which one is it? It can’t be both.

Most of the general public didn’t understand what the Prime Minister was saying, or was he just twisting it? Because of course, there’s enough of that going on in the media.

Ultimately, you will own nothing, and you will be HAPPY. These are the warnings of the Orwellian Great Reset, and this is the plan, a plan that people have repeatedly warned about.

To take the tools of oppression used to tackle the coronavirus and use them by enforcing lockdowns, business closures, exclusion zones, isolations, including destroying private property rights and private income, to tackle the climate crisis.

It shows the terrifying and revolutionary ideas straight from the mouths of the founder of the World Economic Forum and, inter alia, our own Prince Charles, who has been completely bought into the elite-driven, Man-made climate change zeitgeist.

It’s the Great Reset that they have openly espouse as being as serious and as dangerous a threat to our prosperity and freedom as we’ve encountered in decades.

It’s a terrifying alliance of big business and big tech, who are so bold and shameless and they’re promising it to the public, and this garbage is already deeply rooted into our state and governments.

And the intention is very real, as has been confirmed by the words and actions of the proponents of the Great Reset, who are invariably extremely powerful and rich people, and they certainly mean business, and even that phrase is one they invented – it wasn’t made up by flake conspiracy theorists.

The fact that the Great Resetters haven’t so far succeeded to anything like their full intentions, and have had many setbacks, doesn’t prove that there is no such plan, or that they’re ever going to rest until they accomplish their objective.

It took centuries for man to learn to fly, with a long string of failures and many earnest people falling by the wayside, but the drive to succeed continued to burn in new adventurers until it eventually happened.

So, if you want to be a spectator parroting ‘If God intended man to fly, he would have given us wings’ then you’re free to do so. Right up to the point when a plane shoots over our heads and drops a bomb on us. You will not be spared any more than the rest of us!

Schoolgirl, 13, Left Fighting For Life After Bath Bomb Almost Killed Her

Emelia Brain was given an adrenaline shot and rushed to the hospital for treatment after she dunked herself in a hot bath containing a milk laced cosmetic.

She was left fighting for her life after using the bath bomb, which she later discovered contained milk.

Emelia Brain screamed for help from the bathroom minutes after she submerged herself in the aromatic water.

The girl’s mum and dad rushed in to discover their daughter gasping for air and clawing at her throat as they sprang into action, puffing ten doses of an inhaler into her mouth before calling 999.

Paramedics arrived inside five minutes and plunged shots of antihistamine and adrenaline into Emelia Brain.

Covered in angry red welts, the teenager was blue lighted to New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton where she was given a large dose of steroids and told she would be okay.

Once her safety was confirmed, Emelia’s dad Scott read the bath bomb package to find it had milk in, something his daughter is seriously allergic to.

For her mother Maria, the thought of what could have happened to their daughter had she gone into anaphylactic shock while at home alone preys on her mind, and Maria said, what if they’d been downstairs with the door closed?

Or that she could have been in the house by herself, whereby she might not have stood a chance, and that the reaction was so quick because she was ingesting the vapours.

Since a young age, Emelia Brain has had to be cautious about what she eats and the cosmetic products she uses, and her allergies first became apparent when she kissed her mother on the lips after she’d been eating yoghurt and her face ballooned up.

Tests found she was allergic to all dairy products, eggs, tree nuts and the cold, and she also has asthma and being conscious of how seriously ill she could fall if she ate the wrong snack or used the wrong soap, and from a young age Emelia Brain learned to diligently read labels.

And along with younger sister Elisia, 8, who has asthma and environmental allergies, Emelia makes videos for her YouTube channel about living life with allergies, but on January 15 this year Emelia Brain had a momentary lapse when she scanned the Bomb Cosmetics brand Unicorn Christmas Bath Bomb label she’d been given as a present.

Convinced it didn’t contain anything she was allergic to, Emelia Brain dunked it into the bathtub, watched it fizz and then got in.

Her mother explained that they had gone to bed when Emelia got in the bathtub, but inside a minute and a half Emelia let out a cry for help and her mother knew she was in trouble and that she couldn’t breathe.

All food and beautifiers et cetera should come with bold instructions and guidance because many of the ingredients and preparations are too difficult to read, but is this intentional, or merely an oversight?

It appears that allergies in children now are a complete minefield and recent tragedies have brought the issue of allergies into the limelight, and dealing with allergies is an everyday fact of life for millions of people in the United Kingdom.

Under current guidelines, food packaged on-site before sale doesn’t require a specific allergen label, and according to Allergy UK, such conditions affect between six and eight per cent of children.

For children with severe allergies, daily tasks can be challenging, from eating lunch to travelling on public transportation, and when the allergen comes into contact with the antibodies, these cells release certain substances including histamine, which causes swelling, inflammation and other problems.

People with severe allergies may be at risk of anaphylactic shock, a drop in blood pressure which can lead to loss of consciousness and sometimes death, although it can be managed with an adrenalin auto-injector, otherwise known as an EpiPen.

In the two decades up to 2012, the number of hospital admissions in the United Kingdom for anaphylaxis grew by 615 per cent.

Nikos Papadopoulos, professor of allergy and paediatric allergy at the University of Manchester said that allergies have been increasing for more than a century, and they’re still increasing in some areas and appear to have reached their plateau in others.

And he said that it was also important to note that numerous children have hypersensitivities that are mild and therefore are not given much attention. For instance, a bit of dry skin, or the occasional wheeze episode or mild hayfever.

Around the globe, children are far more likely than ever before to develop food hypersensitivities, and inquiries into the deaths of British teenagers after consuming buttermilk, sesame and peanut have highlighted the sometimes tragic consequences, especially when a six-year-old girl in Western Australia died as the result of a dairy allergy.

The rise in allergies in recent decades has been especially prominent in the West, and food allergies now affect approximately 7 per cent of children in the United Kingdom and 9 per cent of those in Australia, for example.

Across Europe, 2 per cent of adults have food allergies.

This New York Scientist Is Treating Human Beings Like Lab Rats

Dieter Egli, a scientist based at Columbia University, is creating human embryos, altering their genome, and then destroying them inside 24 hours.

But if scientists can treat human beings like lab rats, what does that say about our overall attitude towards human life?

If we treat human life like it’s a matter of technical mastery and control, we no longer treat it like a precious gift that deserves our respect.

A Chinese scientist created an international scandal when he altered the genes of a pair of unborn twins, in what became known as the CRISPR scandal.

But another scientist in New York was doing something quite similar, without incurring the international backlash.

His research was rife with ethical concerns and had the potential to unleash a dystopian future on the world.

Dieter Egli, a scientist based at Columbia University, is creating human embryos, altering their genome, which is the DNA sequence and then destroying them inside 24 hours.

Dieter Egli told NPR that they just do the editing and then hope everything goes right and implant that into a womb.

But this is pure sophistry. Why else experiment with gene editing if not to eventually bring gene-edited babies to term?

Presumably, as his research proceeds, he will destroy embryos at later stages of development, and then ultimately bring some to term as genetically edited children.

This raises a multitude of questions, not just about killing the unborn, but about what human beings are in the first place.

Human beings are not products to be created and destroyed on a whim.

They’re not inanimate objects to be disposed with at any time, and treating them as such is dangerous and wicked.

The human beings that Egli has irresponsibly created and destroyed have the potential to develop into thriving adults, just like the rest of us, and if scientists can treat human beings like lab rats, what does that say about our overall approach towards human life?

Are we more concerned about the possible dangers of genetically modified food than we are about genetically altered human beings?

This line of research poses additional possible problems because changes made to human genome would be passed down to future generations through individual’s germlines, and we have no idea what kinds of complications that could create in the long term.

Egli and others claim this technology will be used to find cures to genetic diseases, but it could also easily be weaponised in the wrong hands, and designer babies could be used as super soldiers, a possibility that China is reportedly already exploring, and be used as a tool for eugenics.

And until we the people force our government to stop financing the NIH and NSF, these people are free to conduct whatever experimentation they want, and this is why these barbaric’s in New York passed a law and then cheered about it – New York, the hotbed for all things moral and right, I don’t think so!

This is Dr Frankenstein Syndrome where they believe that eugenics is a God philosophy, and it seems that human life now has no value and now we have another Josef Mengele.

It will not end well with people attempting to play God because you can’t mess with nature, and the vanity of man will cause so much woe, where man are deciding the life or death of other human beings and bending the laws of nature, and there appears to be a lot of sick people out there these days, and the fictional novel ‘Frankenstein’ by Mary Shelley illustrates what occurs when a man tries to become the creator, God!

Matt Hancock to hold COVID Briefing

Matt Hancock held a televised coronavirus briefing, just hours after Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed some lockdown restrictions could be lifted in weeks.

The Health Secretary spoke to the nation from Downing Street to update the nation on the fight against COVID.

It comes as new positive coronavirus cases have fallen by 20 per cent in the past week, with an additional 30,004 people reported to have the virus.

With England’s third national lockdown beginning to pay off, Boris Johnson indicated some restrictions could be lifted in a matter of weeks.

He said that they were studying the data as it came in, and they were looking at the rates of infection and that the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation predicts the most vulnerable will be vaccinated by February 15, but before then they’ll be looking at the potential easing of some measures.

And that the country has made tremendous progress in conquering the virus and that he didn’t believe people would want to see another huge wave of infection.

He went on to say the reopening of schools continued to be a priority, and he said that there was nothing more he wanted to do than to reopen schools because he’d worked so hard to keep schools open for a long as he possibly could.

He said that they wanted to see schools back as quick as possible and that they wanted to do it in a way that was consistent with combating the pandemic and keeping the infection rate down.

A No 10 source added that while a review of the current measures could take place before the middle of next month, the measures would remain in position until after February 15.

The Prime Minister is under mounting tension from his backbench MPs to outline his strategy to return the United Kingdom to normal now the vaccine is being successfully rolled out across the country.

With almost half a million people getting their first dose of a jab yesterday, meaning 6.3 million Brits now have some level of protection against coronavirus.

Former chief whip Mark Harper, chairman of the lockdown sceptic COVID Recovery Group has been demanding restrictions begin to be eased from the start of March.

He said once the most vulnerable had received a jab there was a need to help start bringing the economy back to life.

But have you seen the roads, they’re as rammed as they were pre COVID, and borders were supposed to be closed in England, yet people are still coming into the country.

And Boris Johnson keeps throwing the doormat under the bus and you can see the fear in his eyes, and if people acknowledged that instead of being British thinking they would know that there’s no need for half this madness.

Positive cases don’t matter because the test is flawed and the author of the test said so with a 99.8 per cent recovery rate from whatever this is, and there are scores of respiratory viruses, so why didn’t the Government want people to hide before?

I’m sure Boris Johnson makes it up as he goes along, like a bumbling nincompoop as he does so. Is this so he can just get our hopes up or is he playing games with us? And the oligarchs will continue this madness as long as they want to, but if you want the vaccine, have it, if you don’t then don’t, it’s that simple.

Perhaps they were playing games right from the start and now it’s coming back to bite them on the bottom because they’ve told us so many inaccuracies, they now can’t remember which ones they’ve told anymore.

94-Year-Old Woman Forgets To Pay Her Care Home And Is Thrown In Prison

Juanita Fitzgerald spent her 94th birthday in a prison cell.

The elderly woman just forgot to pay her care home, Franklin House, a $161 bill and here’s how this awful story went down.

Juanita Fitzgerald lived in Franklin House, a senior care home in Florida because she needed advanced support due to the health conditions she lived with, but she believes that the home wanted her out.

For years, Juanita Fitzgerald believes that the home had been trying to force her out because of the cost of her care, and then one day, she forgot to pay, and the home decided to kick her out.

She offered to pay, but her payment was refused. Instead, they demanded that she leave, but it was her home, it was where she had all her friends and she had nowhere else to go, so she refused to leave.

Franklin House called the police, who sided entirely with the home, and Juanita Fitzgerald was arrested for trespassing and the police forcibly took the elderly woman away and she was left bruised and in tears.

She was imprisoned, and for many days, Juanita Fitzgerald was kept in the Lake County Correctional facility, but other prisoners were horrified by this treatment, several others weren’t shocked at all.

Juanita Fitzgerald’s case is an illustration of what happens when a system cares more about money than human life.

Fortuitously for Juanita Fitzgerald, somebody was able to bail her out of prison and when the matter reached the attorney’s office, her charges were thrown out, but sadly, there’s no undoing the damage already done.

This was so wrong, and shame on the police and the care home for treating a senior citizen like this. This was uncalled for, and hopefully, nobody treats their mother or family like this.

And this is meant to be the Christian way – this should never have happened.

Welcome to America, the land of the free and home of the brave – I don’t think so.

Mind you, in jail she would have got three meals a day, a warm place to sleep and free medical care – sounds better than the place that kicked her out, which says a lot for America’s care system that has you locked up in a cell with bars and her arms were all battered and bruised, and where were social services when they were needed?

Of course, we don’t know the whole story, but whatever it is, as long as she didn’t shoot or kill anyone, putting her in prison at that age just doesn’t make any sense, and why did the care home not give her warning?

Probably because the office is being managed by imbeciles who have no idea that people in their 90’s forget quickly and she needs a Power of Attorney because many elderly people would not remember to do all the bills and shame on those who work there without using their own brains.

With these elderly people, there’s often confusion and perhaps even some dementia in play and the staff should be aware of this and have contact with a family member or even social services.

Elderly people need an advocate and we will soon be in this situation ourselves and those people should think about what they’re doing before they do it, but then I guess this is our future.

No one cares when you’re elderly and handcuffing and leg restraints are overkill because this is what we’ve come to as human beings.

Lives Will Be Lost If Boris Johnson Fails To Restart The Everyone In Scheme

The Everyone In initiative, implemented through the first wave of the COVID 19 virus, took tens of thousands of rough sleepers off the streets and helped them start the transition into a more secure and long term accommodation.

In the space of just 72 hours, this grand plan took thousands of people off the streets. It saved lives and broke the illusion that homelessness was an intractable problem to solve.

Since then, Boris Johnson’s government has noticeably scaled back its ambitions and it’s insisted that the Everyone In programme has continued to support rough sleepers, and while it’s true that numerous people were helped in the first lockdown and have now been moved into more permanent accommodation, lives are still in danger and too many people remain on the streets.

As you read this article, thousands of people sleeping rough are being exposed to unbearably freezing conditions, as well as COVID 19. This makes them extremely likely to become sick, at a time when the NHS is now wavering on the brink of being overwhelmed.

As the temperature plummets, local authorities are activating their Severe Weather Emergency Protocol, which provides emergency accommodation for rough sleepers on extremely cold winter nights.

This will offer interim relief to those sleeping rough, but it will only last as long as temperatures remain below freezing.

A renewed focus on ending homelessness for good is needed to ensure displaced people who are taken indoors can be given support to transition into permanent accommodation.

However, without the resources they need, already stretched local councils will be unable to help everyone and can’t provide long term solutions.

The Government maintains that it’s continuing endeavours to help people off the streets and a recent announcement has outlined its next steps to help rough sleepers this winter. However, these plans are far less ambitious than the programme of help offered last spring.

The housing secretary, Robert Jenrick, has urged local councils in England to increase their efforts to take people off the streets, but councils are being asked to do too much with too little.

And they’re unable to help all those sleeping rough, let alone stop new cases of homelessness occurring, and the £10 million in financial support on offer to councils falls considerably short of what’s required.

It’s also money that will be allocated from an existing pot of £700 million.

In 2018, the homelessness charity Crisis estimated that it would cost around £10 billion to end homelessness for good, but the Government’s total spending to date is a fraction of this, and we’re becoming a Dickensian Britain.

This is the Conservatives operating in a yo-yo fashion, and is Boris Johnson concerned on whether lives are lost or not? After all, why can’t the barracks and hotels be used for our homeless since they don’t seem to be worried about using them for asylum seekers? Or come to that, even churches!

This is shocking, especially in a country that’s so prosperous, that they’re neglecting the homeless.

And it appears that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and this kind of mentality has to stop, because what happened to the idea that we’re all in this together?

With this cold snap, there will, of course, be many deaths because of the combination of cold and COVID, and after the pandemic, there will be a tsunami of poverty. There’s also going to be issues of mental health, homelessness, addiction, domestic abuse and suicide and the Government just don’t give a damn.
