Amongst the stresses of yesterday, there were some moments that were both enjoyable and worth sharing.<\/p>\n
Having got very used to the question, \u201cAre you allergic to anything?\u201d over the last few days, I modified my response. Having made clear that, in medical terms, I\u2019m allergic to nothing, I then added, \u201cBut I am to Nigel Farage\u201d, which seemed to be quite popular with an NHS audience, where my estimate is that at least 70% of my carers, of whatever grade they might have been, would be in the category subject to deliberate abuse from both Reform and Rupert Lowe\u2019s Restore Party.<\/p>\n
The second event happened in the cab on the way home, because Jacqueline had reached the point of being too fatigued to safely drive me, but still accompanied me. We were talking about the care I had enjoyed, and how the NHS would be totally incapacitated by the policies of Farage and Lowe. Our taxi driver was curious and tentatively sought our opinion. He told us that he has many people as passengers who are strong supporters of the far-right parties. He then added, \u201cWhat these people don't realise is that they are the ones who're going to pay the price for what Farage wants, and there\u2019s no way you can persuade them Farage is out to screw them.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
