Gosh my heart is well and truly broken tonight. Just back from visiting my dear old dad. Took the poison and got covid anyway. He looked like a shadow, fading before my very eyes today. GP has lost two lots of bloods and samples for other issues, X ray results are taking months to come back. I could scream but no one is listening. This is a man who worked on his one and a half feet (train accident as a kid) from the age of 14, employed staff who were loyal to him for forty years as he's such a decent, kind man. Had to pay for his own hip and cataracts during lockdown, just in the vain hope of a game of golf. I remember in March 2020 praying every night that he wouldn't die in lockdown because no way could we have a shameful twelve people at his funeral. He is loved everywhere he goes. I went on a girls trip to Morocco five years ago. Was outside having a cig and making pleasantries with a German golfer staying at my hotel. Turns out he played golf with my dad in Hong Kong two decades ago and still keeps in touch with him! What are the chances? Sorry I'm rambling and thinking out loud. Now I am almost praying my father goes before the real shit becomes clear to those kind, trusting, decent people who just took the government advice, like he told me he regretted today. I feel murderous. And to think of good men like Ted ending their valuable, decent lives face down, devastated by alcohol, lonliness and hoplessness. It's too much. All of it. I feel like we're becoming trauma bonded. xx
There are no words for what those bastards did. My Dad has dementia and mum looked after him at home throughout the shit show and continues to do so. She is an absolute legend. I’m so glad we never stopped visiting and supporting them.
Sunny/Ash does seem lovely,I’ve listened to a good number of his interviews including Bob’s and he called me ‘dearest Jules’ on Twitter which I thought was sweet 😀
The sun was out up here today too. You’ll be doing the pod in the bathroom in your pants again before you know it!
London black cabbies are salt of the earth! I have remained friends with one who took Nick and I to the Epsom Derby and we speak by text nearly every day. He’s fully switched on been in our camp from the beginning.. Poor Ted a tragic end and I do believe there are thousands who died like this due to lockdowns and loneliness. I’m off FB now can’t bear it any longer, my friends do not see it at all they think I’m mental. I did end with calling one woman a c..unt (oops the word just came out) she said fb was not the forum for vaccine deaths and injuries! Whaaat ! God bless you Abi a very powerful podcast x Suzanne
Heartbreaking, and all for no reason. You are right we must pursue these bastards to the ends of the earth and never let them rest. Rest in peace Ted 🙏
So hard to hear about Ted it should never have happened, nobody deserves to die that way. Steve sounds like such a lovely man and his testimony is so similar to so many people who had family in care homes. God bless Steve, rest in paradise Ted. 💔
Ted wasn't even old he should have been enjoying his retirement not drowning in such isolation. A heartbreaking listen. Everyday I learn of colleagues being admitted into hospital - some otherwise young or fit and healthy. Friends having heart attacks or developing illnesses. We're already conditioned to accept it too. I guess it's how we cope, doesn't stop the hurt though. No other words. Lxx
Gosh that was heartbreaking listening to Steves story, R.I.P Steves dad and Ted🙏🏻😔xx
There were aspects of those stories that were similar to what happened to my mum and dad, it will be 3 years next week since we found my dad dead at home it was Easter Monday i had last spoken to him on Easter Sunday.
Just the thought of Easter triggers me( even though the date was different) i just feel so bloody angry still about it all, and i saw red a couple of weeks ago when a friend of mine told me to “move on” wtf!!!!! Best of it she clearly hadn’t “moved on because she was still testing herself and had a couple of days off work with supposed covid but conveniently tested negative after 3 days🙄i said its ok for you to say that but you haven’t been directly affected by something tragic happening to someone you love......i just despair.
I hope Steve is reading/listening to Abi daily and would just like to thank him for being an amazing man and for holding out the hand of humanity for Ted 🙏🏻xxx Lisa xxx
What a heartbreaking listen, poor poor dearest Ted 😭😭 that was so upsetting, and Steve's dad, oh my god 😡 credit to you Abs for holding it together as well as you did 💔 RIP Ted and Steve's Dad 🙏 🙏
Jail would be too good for these people, bring back the death penalty, that's all I can say right now, I'm so angry.
Thank you for sharing Abi, I listened last night and said a prayer for Ted, Steve and his Dad 🙏🙏🙏 very red eyes this morning 😢
Ted and many more Abs. Who's Worlds the powers that be decided to shutdown and throw into complete chaos upheaval and a living nightmare. Theirs nothing in history to compare it to, a cruelty that many couldn't see an end to, and worst of all perpetuated literally everyday with non-sensicle dic-tats that confused and terrified. Cutting off avenues that people were finding a little relief from the relentless shite they were spouting, using the sycophantic Police who were all too willing to add to the misery. It was literally extreme mental torture. The country lost what was left of it's Soul. So glad to have found like-minded people who 'got me through'. And so thankful my Mother didn't have to endure it. Keep them shoulders Broad and Proud. xx
‘Not the forum for vaccine deaths and injuries’! It’s not the time or place Suzanne😂 . God it’s mental out there. My friends think I’m mental too.....you know that meme where Homer Simpson is slowly walking,backing himself into a hedge ....that’s what I think of them doing. Hope you’re doing ok....can’t be easy losing friends too after Nick xx
Forgot to say Abi if you can get “we the people” printed i would love to purchase a few copies. I am going away for a few days next week and am thinking of printing some copies off and leaving em where people will read them thought maybe with the duty free booklet might be a good start!!!!

And don’t get me started on Bridgen!
RIP Ted and Steve’s dad.
Steve,Steve’s Dad and Ted ❤️🙏
Good news re potential publishers🤞

O Abi emotional one today. Lump in the old throat. How can we ever forget the utter devastation. God bless you.😘

What a very sad and tragic story about Ted. Steve’s story about the terrible hospital experiences with his dad too.
Paul the scouser seems to cancel at the drop of a hat 😂 May be it’s his immune system!
Looks promising with James Delingpole’s friend to get our E-book published.
Beautiful music to end the pod 💖
