Disability funding. Rules have changed overnight

Now, MSD is going to target give-a-little pages supporting sick people.
.
This is going to lead to more suicides, poverty-related crime, and more desperation.

More learning disabled in jail.

I have this radical idea called early intervention, which involves teaching children to read and write in schools, not jails.

Scam caller

Gail from Kamo

Hi all I just received a phone call from 246347198 which had a recorded message stating that my Vodafone contract has been terminated.
