Still the beds are burning.

 The Government has pledged to tackle cost of living pressures, with a spokesman stating they are "acting to give consumers breathing space" Many including my humble household is finding energy bills too expensive. This monstrous act of paying over the top energy bills is hurting many.  The energy bills are set to increase to their highest level for three years heading into winter. The poverty issue has been at forefront of any justice issues l have encountered in 45 years plus involved in faith based activist youth work.

I cannot stand this ridiculous situation. Water bills. Gas bills. Food inflation. Diesel costs, household problems they are hitting many. In UK 6 out of 10 young people are experiencing mental health issues. Talking and still working with young people it hurts. Hear disturbing stories. Hope is not evident our Church struggling with food bank stocks more people seeking help. Less giving and costs of building proving difficult to maintain.

The Governments of last 5 decades are still not listening nor do they appear to care.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
