Can I just point something out to government:

4000 people can attend a football match BUT..

ONLY 15 can attend a wedding

ONLY 30 can attend a funeral

and if a #carehome resident goes outside the frontdoor they have to self isolate for 14days

RETWEET if you find this madness!

[Patricia Lawson @trishlawson305]

Who would have thought that nearly a year in those on care hone would still be locked up and denied family contact. Their only crime they needed 24 hour whether elderly or young. Shame on you. @Helen_Whately @MattHancock @BorisJohnson @marykfoy @rightsforresid2

Asking @iainastewart and @Ben_Everitt NOT to be quiet and help Milton Keynes residents in care facilities to be able to receive visits from their families including @Barchester_care

[UK Parliament Human Rights Committee @HumanRightsCtte]

We have drafted a new law which would end blanket bans of relatives visits in care homes and hospitals and are asking the Govt to put into law right away.

Draft legislation is here 👇

[Rights For Residents @rightsforresid2]

URGENT ACTION needed please tweet and tag your MP in this link below and ask that they give their support to this law - thank you to @HarrietHarman and @leicesterliz for supporting us #essentialfamilycarer #rightsforresidents

@Helen_Whately what about the mental health of those ordinarily who would not be at risk but due to restrictions to care home visiting i am sure that residents’ relatives will all be suffering one year on. #rightsforresidents #unpaidcarers

@rightsforresid2 Indoor ‘suite’ (screened partition). Socially distanced Garden visits when it was in the summer. We are grateful that we have these but still unable to hug/touch/speak properly. In Milton Keynes Bucks

@jessorthoptist @BIOJOrthoptics All good. Three mini chums are harder work than students combined 🤣😅

[Michelle Chum @jimkaryan]

@sturdy_deborah @Helen_Whately I tag past/present MK MPs but i know they will stay as silent accomplices @iainastewart @Ben_Everitt @MarkLancasterMK @phyllisstarkey

[Michelle Chum @jimkaryan]

@sturdy_deborah @Helen_Whately Nearly a year of no meaningful visitinge. You would not lock up old pets this way. Please support the fact that relatives are vital to emotional health. Whats the point of keeping our loved ones physically healthy when their existence is only to be so souless and devoid of love?

EXCL: 9 in 10 care homes say residents deteriorated during lockdown.

Tonight we investigate:

▪️Residents drugged
▪️Some forced to move homes mid-pandemic
▪️Relatives breaking them out
▪️The carer who took his own life due to pressure

Jan 8. The child born of the Spirit announces in his home synagogue that the Spirit has been given to him for his mission. The people, as at the crib, are astonished - this time at what he says. Now we must live out that mission for our faith is that we have been begotten by God

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Please don’t clap us. Just wear a mask, wash your hands and respect lockdown 🙏
