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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
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.
