In all the fuss and hooha there's been, I've just this minute seen the most depressing and upsetting horror to date.
Front page of the D. Mail, an elderly lady on her knees and on an elevated walkway, being kept apart from her ailing and dying husband who is suffering from a dementia related condition. The gentleman is being attended by a care home assistant and they are apparently on another pathway some way below the lady. That picture is the very last attempt at a justification of the current calamity where the most basic example of human caring for a loved one is prohibited. In the name of decency, is this to be the way? If that was my wife or mother I would be crashing the door down. What the hell is going on.
