Gosh, everything that helps vulnerable people is being cut.

I'd be interested to know if this "urgent meeting" ever does come to pass.  Let us know, OK?

PS, you and your mum looked really lovely!

Thanks MM.... Mum does look well, doesn't she???... Looks younger than I do, and she certainly has fewer grey hairs!...  :rofl;

Yes, right, 'Urgent Meeting'... With the minister who wouldn't be interviewed on camera to defend these cuts???... I'll expect it when I see it!!!...

Love to all...

I love to see you speaking out! You are a fighter!  :2thumbsup;

If you could get your hands on the minister, I expect he might be changing his mind!

What I can't get is why folks in the government can't see the bigger picture! Surely cuts in these programs today will not only increase individual suffering, but also long-term costs! Senseless!!!!
