Sorry to interrupt your Sunday, friends.

I really hesitated to write this, but if I don’t speak up today, I will be facing a severe financial crisis within a week or two.

To be clear, I am not asking for charity or financial help. I am asking for work.

I have been completely without work for the last three months. My last project ended on June 30th, and since then I have knocked on every door I know—calling, texting, meeting contacts, and following up.

People say they will try, but after that first talk, the silence takes over. Calls go unanswered or get cut after a couple of rings. I honestly don't know whether the industry is shifting because of AI or if my age (52) is working against me, but despite over 13 years of solid experience in the field, nothing has materialized.

Now, my savings are down to the very end. I can barely hold out for another week or two.

I am a professional content writer, translator, and speaker who is comfortable on stage and in front of the camera. I write and translate fluently across Gujarati, Hindi, and English, with Gujarati being my strongest suit.

Many of you already know my grasp of politics and my political writing, but I am equally adept at covering Bollywood and cricket. My priority is media houses, digital platforms, or publications, but I am open to any genuine writing or translation opportunity.

I can work remotely or take up assignments on-site anywhere in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, as I need to be close to my elderly mother to take care of her health.

Because my situation is urgent, I am especially looking for quick-turnaround freelance assignments or immediate projects where payments can be settled on submission.

If you or anyone in your circle has work, please reach out to me directly in my DMs.

A humble, earnest request: while I deeply value your warmth, please refrain from sending just "best wishes" or "stay strong" messages right now. I am fighting hard to stay out of a very dark headspace, and right now, only actual work leads can pull me through.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for your support. My inbox is open. 🙏

It's about time we ended the triple lock on MPs gold plated pensions, guaranteed above inflation pay rises and extortionate expenses

If you're on a NHS waiting list somewhere, be comforted that in both Scotland and England they are spending literally millions of pounds on legal fees trying to force female nurses to get changed in front of men.

[Extraordinary Woman @simms_susanne]

@AffluentMist The name calling is another red flag.

[Jen k 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Jenny_1884]

So scrapping the triple lock would save £600M by 29/30

Didn’t this government just give Angola over £600M for their airport?

So this government puts Angola before their own pensioners.

The kind caring Labour Party. NOT.

Tesco has 20,000 employees on their basic £13ph
The majority of these claim income support.
That taxpayers money should be deducted from Tesco's annual pretax profit of £2.4 BILLION
We should NOT all be helping Tesco shareholders.
Same for ALL major low pay employers.
BURNHAM?

[SODEM : "Cap ALL Political Party Spending." @snb19692]

Look at the top pension paying Nations - Every one of them a member of the European Union!
Then look at the bottom of the list!!!
Then think about the 'triple lock' - It's not enough!
Why is it even up for debate??????????????

[Scotland’s Story @80_mcswan]

Michelle Mone must be removed from the House of Lords and be made to repay the £187 million she owes the taxpayers. Michelle Mone and her husband, Doug Barrowman, should be in jail for fraud.

RT if you agree.

[Demented Avenger @DMented_Avenger]

Tell me again why the triple lock is unaffordable when we have the lowest state pension in the developed world? The triple lock was designed to try and move us off the bottom of the table, that’s all. And we’re still bottom. Corporations are making record profits. Tax them more.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Amount a pensioner receives in the UK is the lowest in Europe, just 2/3rds of France and barely 50% of Italy who are considered a 'poorer' country.

Why is our pension 'unaffordable' when it is so low, and where is all our money actually going?

[Essex Man (Reform Member Free Speech Union Member) @EssexMan312]

Martin Lewis, there is something very, very, very wrong in the system... 😡

So … let me get this straight:

* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June

* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone

* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year

The MEN at the top:

* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary

* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits

* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m

* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.

* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m

* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m

* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m

* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package

* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000

* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m

* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary

Meanwhile there are...

* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.

* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.

* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.

* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.

* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.

* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.

* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.

* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!

* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.

* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!

All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...

THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.

Something needs to change.

Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?

I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....

COPIED AND PASTED FROM OTHERS :
PLEASE KEEP IT GOING SO MORE AND MORE GET TO SEE IT .

@Strobe_Lightly Has to be Bristol.

[Extraordinary Woman @simms_susanne]

@PrishaMosley So tragic and pointless what happened to him.

[Extraordinary Woman @simms_susanne]

@its_The_Dr Me of course. Duh!

[Extraordinary Woman @simms_susanne]

@damekatydenise_ Much clearer and succinct too. Why use one word when you can use 26.

[Extraordinary Woman @simms_susanne]

@London_W4 @KTHopkins I also hate right/left wing terminology, especially far right (don't hear far left so much). I like the alternative you propose - be more decent less twat 😉

[Extraordinary Woman @simms_susanne]

@kaitduffy Getting old!
