I’m unemployed, have a long term health condition — diabetes, since you ask — and am mildly frustrated about the corona virus lockdown.
There’s many things worth complaining about, I think.
One thing that does give me mixed feelings?
Is the — admittedly few — people on TV complaining about the amount of benefits they’re getting, as a result of being laid of in the crisis.
I know it’s hard: having been out of a job for two years, now., and on a very low income.
There’s nothing I can do about that, until the job situation improves.
To see others unused to being in my boat complaining about it, when the system is creaking under unprecedented strain?
Smacks of …
There was one woman on the BBC News, today, compiling about the amount of Statutory Sick Pay she was receiving.
She’d been given it, if I’ve understood things correctly, as she was having to self-isolate: and complaining about the amount.
That she couldn’t live on that amount.
To me, struggling to manage on the amount I get … ?
It smacked of either ingratitude … or just plain old whinging …

At any rate … ?
At any rate, I — like many of us — am stuck indoors.
With, quite literally, just my TV for company.
