Megan To Be Kicked Into The Street On Her Birthday

I wasn't offended by the post from Thailand but can see that the nerve was struck because the question was asked about colour and one's "own doorstep"


But the question IS relevant I feel because (in my opinion) ironically many of the people who perpetuate the status quo and habitually re-elect a political party to represent them in the local constituency will be putting their coins and notes into Oxfam and Christian Aid envelopes and thus easing their conciences whilst at the same time bringing about the demise of social housing that should be there so that families like Megan's don't have to rely on the profit driven private buy to let and private landlord system.

In the measly 400 character limitations of the comments post on the website I tried to hit on that very subject and confidently anticipate my comments being removed at some stage.

Maybe the question could have been reversed so that the point was examined as to why people who readily financially support the easing of pain and hunger for children of a different race and diversity than their own, then support a regime that is inflicting and allowing such cruelty on "one of their own"?

Just too ANGRY too type to much, ARSEHOLES massive massive ARSEHOLES, AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH!!!!!!! Can`t read any more about this, far too emotional! I`ll try to be more rational when I`ve calmed down!!!!!!!!

Merse I can't disagree with your views, but all that will not help where the help in needed now, I do thank you were posting your views on the papers site.

The world is full of so many needy people and as much as we would like to, we can't help them all, but as has been posted, that should not mean we should never help anyone where we can.

I must thank everyone for there support and comments on this sad and ongoing story and to a point I can understand Davethegull's point of view, a remote arrmchair opinion that will ease his concience perhaps. My answer to his post is that this is actually something we as a local comunity can perhaps do something about. Its not a plea for financial help but for moral support and advise.
Believe me they are Desperate and are feeling very isolated.
I am witnessing this loving and caring family drowning in beurocracy on all fronts whilst fighting for their daughters life with their heads barely above the water at this time.
They are looking like broken people.
I hear the crying and the suffering every day and the continuing day and nighttime fight to keep their child alive in their own home. They are desperate for help and almost at the end of there tether and desperately need somebody to stand up and fight there corner on so many issues other than just the lanlord isue. I am doing what I can but at this time they need moral support and sound legal advise form anyone and if anybody has any ideas I will put them forward to Richard and Lauren.
I have never in my life felt so compelled to help mainly because I see the care the tears and the suffering at first hand on a daily basis I am also extremly angry at the heartles and cold uncaring response from this landlord but that is only a part of their problems.
There are so many other issues that they are having to deal with an endless list of poor medical practices and "closed ranks" hospital authority conspiracies that have to be seen to be believed and if you type into google the politics of cancer you willsee what I mean.
Thanks agin for all of your support.

I suspect they have gone down this route, but please pass on if you feel it may assist, Pete. Certainly CAB - Newton details are first link - will have a recommended list of solicitors for certain issues and, in my opinion, are generally second to none in terms of emergency debt advice. Am not sure what local authority covers them, but have put Torbay in links 2 and 3. Equivalents can be signposted by CAB if different local authority.

Many thanks for taking the time to post that info Rob. I believe they have gone down most of those roots already but will indeed pass on the links.
