PIP renewal arrived

I've been assessed by surgeons, doctors, physios, psychologists numerous times since I was 12, all have said my condition is worsening and will not improve

I was previously awarded lifetime DLA, before it was scrapped

Why am I so completely terrified? 😫

Just before your time
Right before the towers fell, circa '99
This was catalogues, travel blogs,
A chat room or two
We set our sights and spent our nights

What happened in Liverpool yesterday was devastating, but responsibly for it lies firmly with the police and the council.

Every single piece of footage demonstrates clearly that it wasn't safe to reopen the roads and they did it anyway, safety of the fans be damned. 😡
