Shee hoped a young family would buy it but sold it to a property management firm.

She could have sold it to a family if she really wanted to.

Another episode of Inman's vendetta against anyone over the age of 60.
We're all rich, all work shy, we all spend our ill gotten riches on endless foreign cruises.

Apparently none of us provide childcare, volunteer or support our local economies.

Never mind taxing us, we should all be deported.

Please let this be true.

taught me how to use the exercise bike
how to walk with a stick
how to walk without a stick
people on this “island of strangers”
from China, Jamaica, Brazil, Ireland
India, USA, Nigeria and Greece.

If ever you’re in need as I was
may you have an island of strangers
like I had.

people on this “island of strangers”
from China, Jamaica, Brazil, Ireland
India, USA, Nigeria and Greece.

I sat on the edge of my bed
and four people came with
a frame and supported me
or took me to a gym
where they taught me how
to walk between parallel bars
or kick a balloon

I lay in bed
hardly able to breathe
but there were people to sedate me,
pump air into me
calm me down when I thrashed around
hold my hand and reassure me
play me songs my family sent in
turn me over to help my lungs
shave me, wash me, feed me
check my medication
perform the tracheostomy

Time to escalate the action.
Start handling back Enhanced Services?

Disappointingly weak list of actions.

After such a huge mandate from GPs this action needs to be much more bold, even aggressive.

Either escalate quickly or just give up.

Presumably our Labour government will be charging the Pope with supporting terrorism later today.
Or maybe make the Catholic Church illegal.
More opportunities for arresting nuns.

Doesn't matter, mob rule will ensure that everything is less important than not annoying paramilitaries.

Asbestos related cancers? Small price to pay.

Well done GP Partners.
The Minister's insulting offer after decades of deliberate defunding of this vital service leaves them no option.
But if there isn't a substantial shift by the Minister the action must escalate.
Last chance saloon for NI GP service.
Does HSC want it to survive?

Given that a GP appointment costs £40 maybe he could restore funding to General Practice to take on the unemployed GPs and provide more GP appointments?

Or is that too sensible?
