She'd lost her job, then her flat, then ended up homeless and had had to have her legs amputated.<br /><br />The irony is, she said it was the best thing that had happened to her - she got lots of care and attention and a new place to live and helped out with welfare etc. Why do you have to lose your legs to get that?? It's fucked up.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337056659803732067.post-80495782394821061232011-02-02T22:35:38.866+00:002011-02-02T22:35:38.866+00:00Did you read the post on the Anti-Room about it? T...Did you read the post on the Anti-Room about it? They were making the exact same point - that whether or not she had a mental condition is really irrelevant in this situation.<br /><br />If winters are going to carry on being as cold as the last couple have then this kind of thing is going to happen again. Regime change is not necessarily going to change attitudes towards the disadvantaged, unfortunately.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170574944537866579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337056659803732067.post-20391415499114663712011-02-01T22:57:42.310+00:002011-02-01T22:57:42.310+00:00Ugh. That's a horrible thing.
I wonder why t...Ugh. That's a horrible thing. <br /><br />I wonder why the article ended on the information that she had BPD though. Strange, the need to pop it in there. Either it was a factor, or it wasn't. No need to hint at it. <br /><br />It's scary, that the chief of ESB earns so much while St V de P are paying people's fuel bills this winter. None of it makes any more sense than a woman dying of hypothermia in her house, in 2011. <br /><br />I was just in the dole office today, reading graffiti on the desk in front of me, that said 'warm in here, cold at home'.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.com
