Not able to get my State Pension.... at 63yrs

WASPI CAMPAIGN DAY OF DEBATE THURSDAY 14th DECEMBER. 
I was there and gave interview to ITV then went in parliament to lobby my MP & Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell... and tried to watch the debate...... but it was too painful as my situation of now needing and relying on this darn state pension is from the poverty my criminal perpetrator left me ended up sobbing my heart out - the parliamentary staff that know me and the story came huddling round me and the cafe helped with a pot of tea and loads of support ... John could not get to me, he sent a message with you all but was in back to back meetings..... I missed him again today not realising he had a coffee morning and collection of food and supplies of those that need foodbanks in our area of Hayes & Harlington....... but we have to intensify our campaign and I mine for all women ... next year 2018 is the YEAR for WOMEN to SHINE in the STRENGTH that our SISTERS used to WIN a battle for ALL WOMEN to get VOTES FOR WOMEN.... we have a VOICE and we have an X factor that all MPs must remember and be RESPECTFUL off THEIR JOB DEPENDS ON OUR VOTING POWER!
inspired by Marjory Hume the suffragette that chained herself to the statue of Viscount Falkland in parliament... and shouted DEEDS NOT WORDS .... Her and all the sisters fighting for our votes won their battle...... and now we can be in parliament voicing our words and stimulating action on those words...... to improve the support of of those recovering from abuse and needing a STRONG & STABLE PATHWAY OF SUPPORT to be able to heal, detox from the ugliness of violence upon them and move on to rebuild their lives again. Keep signing the petition and I will keep going to APPG meetings and we will get our voices heard.

Be Safe for Christmas

Keep safe over the season of drink and be merry as the drink leads to violence on women... and women please get rid of him the moment he lifts a hand or fist to you .. Police report and get rid of him... Do not lose your home he should be the one that is sent out not you.... KEEP STRONG it will hurt as I know you will love him....but you love only the mirage of his manipulated deceit on you. You will love the projected persona he deliberately weaves to get you into his tendrils to violate you.... use you and abuse you... Get rid of him STOP him from hurting you for the rest of your life... you have a life to live and there will be some wonderful true partner to come in your life ... or some wonderful mission and project to give you a life.... KEEP STRONG a man ceases to be a man the moment he raises a hand and fist to you and splutters out his toxic words to you......
You are worth more than this girls RECLAIM YOUR LIVES be free for the ugliness of violence and find your inner peace on this Earth.... BE SAFE!

Survivors Flower remain

The remaining flowers from the Survivors Lunch that the London borough of Hillingdon put on for us all for the White Ribbon Day- of course we have to see the results of all the reach out for suggestions on improving the support.  We have Christmas and New Year when the country goes haywire so guess nothing with be done to action our suggestions till 2018.... many of us do not have that time to wait... many of us are going hungry and in desperate need for financial dignity..  Dignity that our perpetrator robbed us off and all part of the abuse upon us.... Amine my perpetrator not found yet ... but he knows that he is being watched by the universe so cannot escape the justice for hurting me ... a woman that was so full of love and care and compassion...and Vincent cannot rest neither perpetrator of 15yrs abuse on me.... all will catch up one day.... but in the meantime it is sad that the system seems to punish me the survivor of all the abuse upon me... 

DWP in the supposed Season of Goodwill

I needed to pay my gas & electric bill so the Jobcentre suggested i applied for a social loan... there is up to £350 permitted..... so I put in the application - only to be told that in the past I have been given a loan and this needs repaying... Today I have this letter so I am to have £7.31 taken out of the £55 a week I get .. remember I get £55 to titrate against the just short of £65 A MONTH NHS pension .. as we all all told that the poor by law must live of £73.10 a week ... out of which housing benefit cap to be paid £9.50 to the London Borough of Hillingdon and council tax they ask for £4.50 I am unsure as I am as I write this mentally stressed with the whole dam thing!

Sometimes you think the perpetrator may as well have murdered you as your life feels well and truly Foxtrot Uniformed Charlie Kilo'd with all the spin off problems of getting out and trying and trying and trying to rebuild your life. 
These dam letters tether you to the past when you are trying to move forward, heal and rebuild.

I have bilateral breast operation history as well as the pin and plate in my arm from his brutal kicking attack on me .... I need to keep warm in the winter as my scar on the breast tissue goes into spasm and you get a strong nerve pain that follow as specific dermatom to the thoracic region...... so I have to have my heating on in the studio OAP bungalow that the LBH housed me in...

I have been having gut problems and seeing my GP this week we have now launched tests for bowel cancer as some symptoms not good. I have some mass feeling in the left iliace fossa so may also need pelvic scan... 

I among the pain I WILL STRENGTHEN THIS CAMPAIGN... as listening to other women survivors there are so many issues of this government failing women to UN DIRECTIVES!

I am grateful to the new signatures... I wish we could go viral and get 1000s as this DWP issue is already viral a social epidemic of failing to support the vulnerable.

I used to feel proud of the UK and my tax to help the vulnerable in times of need and in my time of need.....My goodness I have paid in an enormous amount of tax since my first job in 1969... and feel so utterly let down that now I am in need I get all this hassle.

We need a Strong & Stable support to help us rebuild our lives..... and this could do with the financial dignity restored. 

I will take this letter to Tuesday APPG Poverty Meeting as evidence of the malpolicies of this government!

A Society without Compassion Ceases to be a Society!
Tis the season of Goodwill and the message Jesus brought was that of Compassion - yet we fuzzy this with all the Christmas partying and not realise we fail the message! 

Thank you supporters please keep going with getting signatures I await John's response to this petition... Marjorie

Goodbye but feels au revoir

πŸ’žπŸ’žπŸ’ƒπŸ’ž
I am so so grateful to Saana for all her help and support...... it was by "chance" I got an impression to go to the Healthwatch in Uxbridge some months ago - struggling with the aftermath of survival, DWP failings and threats to lose my OAP bungalow...and being a WASPI unable to get my state pension that day the office staff introduced me to Saana and the weekly women survivors group.... most of Asian origin and long term survivors because I have lived in India and my second perp was Indian they accepted this gouray into the group.... and we have got on so well....The group leader Saana is moving on to a post in Dubai caring for women survivors of DV .. so today we had goodbye gathering..... but I feel an au revoir that we will meet up again and will keep in contact via internet. The womenfolk will get another group leader in the New Year and those of us that are WASPIs are going to go to parliament on the 14th Dec for the debate on state pension...
Love the Indian food today too so yummy with chai and cake too..

I gave Saana some of the NYR products I had for her to enjoy Geranium & Orange shower gel and Orange flower facial wash ..... wrapped in London scenes paper and also gave her one of the WI trauma teds that we were given on Saturday's Survivors Lunch ......

Smart Works is amazing project

you have got to go on this site for the Smartworks charity and also watch their video - brilliant to help women restyle to reconnect with self and get the confidence for job applications.  They have top class clothes donated supported by retailers and it helps women over that hurdle of getting offered work and presenting herself well till the paycheques come in... I found out about this from the White Ribbon Day yesterday in the civic centre and well impressed with this....   If you remember when I wanted to put on the Healing and Empowerment weekend at Brunel Uni this was to be a workshop input too by Kookie to restyle to project the true inner self out and be full of confidence again... to reconnect with self. http://smartworks.org.uk/

Sabah el Ward, woke to beauty





Sabah el ward..... I woke in pain today but then turned to see the wonderful flowers I was given from the White Ribbon day... thank goodness of the beauty of flowers to help uplift us out of our pain. My pain is frustration and part of the demon releasing that our journey takes us on ... yesterday was good to listen and share and support one another that have all been hurt and broken and financially crippled by our perps... ..But we are not broken we have our inner strength and our determination to rebuild our lives. To reconnect with ourselves again the self that was lost in all the pain. But in this journey is the pain that in my need to reconnect with self is the need to have the financial freedom to follow what feels right for me now in this time ....the time as it biologically leads me to ageing and to the ultimate release. I have things i want to do and in this is my need to help not only my family but my Family Link Up project... there is more than my life to rebuild and to reconnect with hope of a good safe peaceful future.......
Here is a journey through my wonderful flowers.... I have the added pleasure of the wonderful sweet perfume too...

Brilliant White Ribbon day of sharing

I attended at White Ribbon day and lunch at the Civic Centre Uxbridge today. It has been a good time of coming together as survivors and NGO supporters, police, a family judge and the London Borough of Hillingdon councillors and support workers.  We have hope that all we have shared will be actioned in to a better pathway of support. I will share more on this when I have digested and followed all the speakers links and information. The Middlesex Suite was set out with beautiful flowers on the tables for the meeting.  This I really appreciated the thought in this as all the colours of the flowers were healing colours and calming.. Some of us have been given them to come home with... Along with some pamper gifts.... 





The teddies have a reason and a mission as all our local ambulances and police cars carry them to help calm traumatised kids. We women survivors attending the White Ribbon lunch at the Civic centre where given teddies... But mine they know are going out to the refugee kids in Belgium that I have contact with through my Family Link Up project.  
Help me to help women's voices be loud and clear with my petition and my appeal to help women Many thanks Marjorie

Petition Update

14 NOV 2017 — I have not posted an update for some time as been busy with the WASPI campaign to fight for the state pension as I am one of the 1950s babies that cannot get this. It would help my situation so much if I could get this. I have had time with Rev Paul Nicholson London group of Taxpayers Against Poverty. The group do see the area of Domestic Violence survivors as a special need and that we do need a better pathway of support. All we are seeing in the backlash of politically induced austerity is actually costing more to society. Financial dignity is so much needed for all. 

You know I am not eating a nutritious diet daily with the limited benefit funds and times of dropped support. My mouth has been showing signs of scurvy Vit C deficiency and my teeth have been fracturing with reduced calcium intake. I have splintered front incisor that needs attention and I had an upper molar that fractured in multiple areas..... I have had to find a dentist. The first one I visited did offer NHS but you still have to pay the bands of care. But readers and supporters I did not feel happy with him.... he thrust the mirror in front of me and humiliated me with the state of my teeth and the gross neglect. I have had enough of humiliation from my abusive partner. I need love care and compassion. Yesterday I can only put this as being "lead" on some spiritual level to a local dentist... he is private so I had to pay but wow what a difference he was loving and caring and his nurse so kind with me. He was upset at my history and will look after me. I was treated with respect and so much compassion. The way I would look after all my years patients and mothers that I have cared for when I was a practising nurse & midwife. I had an interesting experience with the dental extraction it was like any pain reawakens the pain of being beaten, kicked and punched... So it is like you fall into the horror again. I am usually quite stoic but this I noticed ... the nurse in the surgery held my hand and I felt encapsulated in their love and care. What I am trying to tell you is that a domestic violence survivor has deep imprints on her very being mind body and spirit of the pain and abuse she has been through. In a way I felt yesterday as I was moved on through the healing of this through this bizarre situation of having my fracture upper molar removed. I actually feel mind cleansed today. 

So I am proposing we need in the pathway of healing the need to have funds for care like this... we need to re discover the inner woman and shine and be strong again. 

My last update I told you about the need for gas and electric support too... and we need to keep our phone and wifi connections for contact with the outside world and to help us find ways to earn and follow courses..

All we need is love and strong pathway of care and support to help us heal, detox from the violence upon us and rebuild our lives... 

we do not need a system that batters us and drives us deeper and deeper into poverty. We need healing support. 

Thank you for the new signatures to the petition I am grateful you are seeing the message of what I am trying to achieve.... Compassion back in Society for a Society without compassion ceases to be a society.

Stand Tall

I am unable to pay my E.ON gas & electricity bill due to breaks in benefit support and periods of no money. Unable to get my State Pension being a 1954 baby and age of retirement shifted so will have to wait till 2020 if I survive that long.  Most times eating three good meals a week not a day.  I had felt that I had explained my situation adequately to the customer service and that they understood and were trying to help.  I followed directives to approach energy charities but letters came back saying they were unable to help. Unable to help as it was clear I needed long term help given my situation. There was a young man sent round to my house and to assess my situation and I felt I had explained adequately and that he understood my situation.  YET yesterday I felt completely violated, harassed and intimidated by a letter received to get a warrant of entry to my OAP council studio bungalow.  

I am intensifying my campaign that women need a better deal and pathway of support when they are trying to rebuild their lives after domestic abuse.  For the system to fail her and then start battering her with the harshness of chasing her for money she has quite clearly has not got is totally unacceptable.  I am facebooking and twittering now as we need the nation to sit up and see that this government is not fit for purpose.  GOV will say they are putting millions in to helping women domestic violence survivors when in fact we do not see anything of this on the frontline!  Our support is needed for how ever long it takes to heal and detox from the ugliness of violent abuse upon our being. Failures in support prolong that healing as it simply tethers us to the past and brings all the flashbacks of our abuse.  You can lay like an injured animal over again with the abuse of these letters socially battering you.  The post traumatic depression triggers and you wrestle with feels of unworthiness to live... but WE HAVE EVER RIGHT TO EXIST ON THIS EARTH! and there is to UN directives a STATE DUTY OF CARE to help women that have been subjected to violence in WAR and PEACE time. 

Our social system must recognise the human rights of women and the need to support better on the pathway to healing and rebuilding their lives after abuse! 

This government could and should be taken to the Supreme Court on their failures to provide support. 

This EON power situation is disgusting we need all companies and governments to look at a basic threshold of free to use power to get our basic needs met and then charge for additional over this. Profits are vast with over charging for a necessity! I feel this would be a solution in all nations of the world.. In our modern day life we need electricity at least... but then we need to see why are we not putting SOLAR PANELS ON OAP bungalows and housing complexes, residential and nursing homes.. to help not only ease the cost of power burden on the elderly who need to keep warm for winter but will help to generate power for the national grid.    Elderly do need to keep warm for their joints and muscles to work better.  This is necessary to help towards the reducing the incidence of falls and admissions to A/E....!! 
My facebook post today!
πŸ’œπŸŒΈπŸ‹️‍♀️What irony this - born in 1954 deprived of my much earned and paid for State Pension now. Paid in tax for near on half century. Had drops in DWP support... now 63yrs no paid work offered me after illness from DV abuse.... and the irony is 1954 Act of Parliament Rights of Entry being used by EON gas & electric company to cut off my right to be warm in winter!! YES FOLKS this is the UK in 2017 with an uncaring Tory government that demonises the poor harasses the poor rather than help!!
Power charities decline to help me as they say I need long term support given the situation I am in ..... ?!

All I need is financial dignity ......
and do note my Moroccan friends this is all the result of that criminal Amine I foolishly married and believed. Scammer!! I hope you find him for me and deal with him accordingly as he shames good hard working caring Moroccans that care for their elderly.
