I am slowly unwinding from my last EMA. It has been a roller coaster of a journey this term and I am finding it hard to feel elated at the moment, but rather I am feeling more like a survivor of some kind of an assault course !
It is not the fault of the OU of course, but it is the recent circumstances that are happening in this country at the moment, such as the high rising cost of food prices, the massive increase in energy bills and the lack of any compassion at all from this government, for those who are poor, or who are getting into difficulties.
In fact this government seemed only too happy to have celebratory parties, while we were suffering losses, Covid viruses, bereavement, stresses, cancelled nhs appointments, hardships, financial problems and lockdowns. This government are seriously out of touch with the people of this country!
They live on another planet 🔵
IMO, I think he should either help us or do the right thing and leave ! ➡️🖐

Hi Gill
I have read this morning on the bbc teletext service that the government's plan to help with energy bills by giving £200 off which would be repayable over 5 years has been scrapped.
Instead it will be replaced by an amount which could be upto double the original planned £200 but will not be repayable and there is likely to be extra help available for households on low incomes aswell.
I can only imagine how relieved you are that your EMA is done.
