Miracles comes a story that has confirmed my
worst fears for sick and disabled people as a result of energy price rises
and welfare cuts.

I just got this information from a nurse freind of mine
last night…….a man who has diabetics type 2 and severe copd was brought in to
hospital last night…..aged 61 his esa was stopped 8 weeks ago after being found
fit 2 work….. it turns out he has been eating dried corn flakes for the last 5
weeks and has no electric on for 5 weeks….. he has had no heating or even able
to boil a kettle for a hot drink…..he was not even able to use his nebulizer
without electric…..the cold has got to his lungs
and his blood sugars have gone dangerously low as type 2 diabetics must eat 3
times a day 2 keep blood sugars level……the nurses have chipped in to get him a
bottle of squash and some fruit ….apparently this gentleman is very unwell at
the moment and if the tories and lib dems find peoples hunger something to laugh
at will they also find this funny?
The sick and vonerable will end up in
hospitail beds if they cant eat and stay warm……this mans situation is just a
taste of what the future holds for thousands…….peoples health will suffer and
any savings made on welfare will have 2 be spent on the NHS as people get
sick……
