Another harrowing story but so important that these are heard. We must never let these bastards off the hook. Too many apologists out there, people are so scared of facing up to the reality of what happened and is still happening! All in denial, bloody stupid cunts!

Glad I’m part of this group that won’t take all the bullshit ❤️

My heart goes out to Lynne and her family. Why are they called 'care homes '? Because there have been so many heartbreaking stories where they obviously don't care about the residents. All they care about are themselves. Just like the fucking teaching profession. They all threw our elderly citizens and our children and young people well and truly under the bus. I have my well used phrase which suits occasions such as these and that is' ' the fucking bastards!' I hate them all for what they have done. How can they treat people this way? Not only Lynne's mum, but Lynne and all her family. Absolutely disgusting! They will get their comeuppance, just like Esther fucking Rantzen. I'm sorry, but what astounds me about Lynne's experience is that if that was me as a care assistant, I'd be feeling so empathetic towards the family and think about how I'd want my mum to be treated. Not a cold, don't give a shit attitude. They should be utterly ashamed of the way Lynne and her family were treated, but they won't because they believe all the fucking bullshit and propaganda...even now...three years on! It makes me so angry.

Maybe you should do a similar wall to name and shame all the 'care' homes , schools, colleges, work places etc that were complicit in the shit show, so everyone can see them for what they are, appalling, selfish bastards who were scared of a cold!

Sending love to Lynne and her family and thanks Abi for today's podcast. You give us all a lifeline to tell our stories and that means the world 🥰xx

As soon as Lynne said it was about her Mum in a nursing home my heart sank. I immediately thought of my own Mum. I felt sick listening to this but I'm so sorry Lynne you had to go through that. Your Mum never deserved to spend her final days in that way. 😔 Some people have become absolute animals 😡

I'm so sorry to hear what Lynne and her family were put through. My thoughts are with your family Lynne.

It really is such a special thing you are doing Abi. These people and their stories deserve to be heard. So much pain and suffering. It is heart breaking.

I can't imagine how hard it is for you Abi. I know you are an incredibly strong woman but please take care of yourself.

What a tragic story. Praying for you and your family Lynne.

Staff in nursing homes were like guards at concentration camps. 'Just doing my job' is no excuse. I hope that the memories of what they did haunts them for the rest of their pathetic lives. Our elderly were victims of neglect. Wilful murder in my opinion.

This is why we must continue to speak out. Definitely never forgive or forget.

Lynne, your letter about your mum really upset me. The bit about her having dementia and saying she felt abandoned. I remember my grandma in the home saying nobody had been to see her, when people visited all the time. The fact that you’d been robbed of the chance to say goodbye. Where is the dignity? I’m so sorry 😞 Lisa x

That was such a hard listen to,it had me in tears couldn’t sleep thinking about what happened to Lynne’s poor mum its just so awful bought back so much trauma about what happened with my mum which will stay with me forever.I have been trying to work through it all with a psychologist but i know its never going to heal.We had 2 periods like this with my mum apr 2020 till end of jul 2020 then feb 2021 till she died aug 2021 it was fucking( sorry for swearing)torture.I had some alternative therapy last week ( thru the cancer unit) but i told her its not pain from my cancer its the mental pain from what happened to my mum that troubles me.I had a relaxation and visualisation session with the therapist wow was that powerful, it was like being hypnotised. During it i felt tears rolling down my left cheek i didnt cry, when she told me to open my eyes my face was wet through. She said when she asked me to put everything that was causing me stress/ anxiety etc in a rubbish bag the tears just started,she asked me why i thought that happened. I said because i cannot and will not let let go to what happened to my mum i came out absolutely exhausted.A lot of what Abi said resonated with me about writing things down, the first time i did was for the E book and again i just want to thank Abil for doing that.xx

Let’s hope that The Great Wall of Cunts has kickstarted a few brains of those that have not been awake. Those people on the wall and many more besides are indeed dancing with the devil.

Watch your back Abi, the 77th are probably looking closely at you. A hot guy as a bodyguard could be the answer😉

Lynne’s story was heartbreaking and I am sure there are many more that have suffered similarly. Why do people work in care homes if they have no empathy?

Long Covid?? I’m not sure that it even exists,some might call it malingering.
