Lighting up everyone’s life. She was pure warm sunshine. And a light refreshing rain. Sue was red with passion. For all the causes she fought for. For her family and friends. So many sides to Sue.

Rolling with the Punches: An Unfond Farewell to Disability Activism

http://loopys-rollingwiththepunches.blogspot.com/2015/06/an-unfond-farewell.html

Rolling with the Punches. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice saying 'I will try again tomorrow'. Tuesday, 2 June 2015. An Unfond Farewell to Disability Activism. Almost five years ago I had to give up the career that I loved. It was a devastating and life changing time. It provoked a period of deep depression for the first time in my life, something no other difficult event had succeeded in doing. After a long period of recovery I continued campaigning on the issues I care...

UK Carers: Definition Of A Carer?

http://ukcarers.blogspot.com/2015/02/definition-of-carer-so-what-is-carer.html

A carers blog, mostly political not personal. Sunday, 14 June 2015. Definition Of A Carer? So what is a carer? Easy question isn't it? Why ask the question? Well if you go to most carer forums, even the national charity ones you will see that almost every one of those who post on them say that Carers Allowance is too low. I don't think many people would disagree with that, but here's the thing, is there really over 6 million carers in the UK? The statistics pushed out by Carers UK (link. Personal Indepen...

The Broken Of Britain: Our Name

http://thebrokenofbritain.blogspot.com/p/why-broken-of-britain.html

One Month Before Heartbreak. Why "The Broken of Britain"? Damned if we do, Damned if we don't. There will always be trolls. (Oh no, just typing the word usually drags two or three form their under-bridge semis.). You could write that the world will end in 4 minutes and someone will post "4 Minutes? Like I give a bleep you bleeping lazy scrounging bleep. Get a life or die or something. Bleep". Anyway, a recent curmudgeon prompted much thought amongst us sickies. Are we damned whatever we do? Buy a flatscr...

UK Carers: June 2015

http://ukcarers.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

A carers blog, mostly political not personal. Friday, 26 June 2015. Iain Duncan Smith, Doofus? When you think that Iain Duncan Smith cannot say anything more stupid he stoops to new lows. IDS welcomes food banks. It seems, even though his boss David 'we're all in this together.honest' Cameron has said otherwise. You have to admit that IDS has form when it comes to making stupid comments, one being. Many people think he is stupid, an American version being a ' Doofus. Though I prefer to think of him as th...

Benefit Scrounging Scum: On working. And sleeping. Mostly sleeping..

http://benefitscroungingscum.blogspot.com/2015/01/on-working-and-sleeping-mostly-sleeping.html

Life in a broken bureaucracy with a bendy and borked body. Tuesday, January 13, 2015. On working. And sleeping. Mostly sleeping. These days, all I can think about is sleep. When can I go back to bed? How can I fit in a few more hours? The January dark and cold doesn't help, but even on a beautiful sunny morning like today, going back to bed is all I'm looking forward to. I've only been up 20 minutes. Spoonydoc has written this. But showering takes energy. Energy I simply don't have. What I need is just t...
