You know, my long term readers will probably be very aware that I’m a long term Terry Pratchett fan, and have been for some time.
I’m also someone who’s seen a much loved grandmother die, after suffering with Alzheimer’s Disease for many years.
So … ?
So catching the above news — that the government is to double the amount of funding put towards Alzheimer’s — is a good thing.
I personally wish it had come a few years earlier, but none the less, it’s still something to be welcomed.
However …
I’m ALSO aware that, during the recent budget — last Wednesday, so you know — saw a HUGE uproar about the Granny Tax: the reduction in personal allowances for pensioners.
Knowing the age group that Alzheimer’s usually targets … ?
I can’t help but think that someone has been thrown a bone, to make up for losing that money.

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
