Parkinsons Disease is cruel. A huge burden falls on loved ones who provide care & support, Sadly it doesn't end there .It can create a changed personality affecting loving relationships. Though aware, Parkies seem powerless to change. Please support Cure Parkinsons Trust

l have just read another letter from the Pensions Minister
which was the self same pathetic longevity excuse he always gives, even in parliament, which suggests that all of those that support the frozen pension theft are also out of touch with the reality of this pension fraud.

If at first you don’t succeed there are certain things it’s best not to try again - sky diving is one, and kicking possession away against Fiji is another.

I learned many things during my years in the RA; most of them have served me well in life.One of my favourites was an aphorism : "Bulls... baffles brains" Boris Johnson's speech to the Conservative party conference today was a perfect example

Never seen this before. A card designed to hold dollar bills by the bedside with a signed request to leave a tip. I never like tipping cultures, need a realistic minimum wage but in the US the shuttle driver from the airport and the bar waitress last night depend on them

Absolutely, WE know the constraints that PD brings not the casual bystander. I can skip INTO Tesco and stagger OUT. A blue badge is not a perk, it helps you to be a functioning member of society
11 Sep 2019
All the perks 😀
You start feeling like a fraud especially on your ‘on’ time but when you can’t get out (or back in) to the vehicle or your legs give up on you, it finally dawns that you need the badge! That’s my #Parkinsons thoughts for you today!

Not again: “Boris heads for Ireland” says a BBC London presenter on the radio. When will the Beeb start calling him Johnson or are Corbyn, Swinson, Farage, Sturgeon & Lucas to be Jeremy, Jo, Nigel, Nicola & Caroline in the interests of impartiality and consistency?

Just listening to the incomparable Lisa Fisher singing Dambala. The words "slave to your mind" struck me like a thunderbolt. PD has made me a slave of my brain but not of my mind

I don't want a "deal".
I want meaningful relationships based on fairness., equality and human dignity. People are not business opportunities

It is amazing. No Labour programme dismissed as “Marxist” by our toxic partisan press could come close to the damage about to be caused by Johnson’s No Deal both at home and abroad. The difference in treatment is scandalous. The country is about to learn how much it matters.
