Mostly a Social Care warrior, except when too knackered. I try to speak truth to power, any power, including Wülfie. Identify with a half-feral cat at the Edinburgh Botanical Gardens. Find me at the #Wülferhampton Leper Gate.
I could say a lot about this, as it makes me angry every single day. But in this instance I'll leave it to Prem.

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.
‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Every person sleeping rough is a failure of our state.
But the gripe that asylum seekers are in hotels while “OUR” homeless are on the streets is pure rubbish.
“OUR” homeless are largely in hotels & bnbs too.
And it isn’t acceptable long term accommodation for anyone. #r4today

At the beginning of programme we heard that most of the homeless are not on the streets, and homeless children are almost entirely within the "hidden homeless".
But most of the words have been about those on the streets.

A few potential words of the day:
Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc).
Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas.
Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness.
Merry Christmas.

Word of the day (of course) is ‘scurryfunging’, from US dialect: the frantic attempt to tidy the house just before guests arrive.

A Wülferhampton folk poem...
The terrible thing about WülfHelm,
Is WülfHelm's a terrible thing.
His heart is carved from an ice block,
His face is fashioned from tin.
He's whingy, cringey, mingey, dingey,
And just no fucking fun.
The only good thing about WülfHelm is,
He's the only one.
Twat!
